I'd imagine that, if they lose, there'll be a discussion between Head and Smith about Head's lack of input. In his defence, it must be tricky to judge what is outside the line from his position, in line with Smith's leg stump.

Smith does get in weird positions though, so maybe Head wasn’t concentrating enough or wasn’t sure where the off stump was.

Either way, it’s great to see him fail and not be out too.

It’s the convicts game to lose here. One good partnership is all they need

This partnership must be a dagger in Indian hearts. They had the Aussies wobbling at 47-3, but it's nearly 50 runs on since then.

Aussies even money.

Aussies even money.

They have the momentum. Just smoothly pick-off the singles over by over and they've got it.

Aussies even money.

If these two put on another 30-40 runs, you can't see the Aussies losing it from that position. Run rate shouldn't be an issue. Less than 5 rpo is nothing to teams of this calibre.

Never forget the old Add two wickets to the score and see how that would look.

They’re not even half way there yet.

You are Geoffrey Boycott (think it was him!), and I claim my prize.
