What a day of cricket we have ahead of us tomorrow after England's stoic resistance.
Australia were in a commanding position after landing two quick strikes after lunch but Joe Root has given the hosts hope of pulling off a famous victory.
England have reached stumps at 3/156,needing 203 more to pull off an unlikely win and square the series.
Playing at his home ground,Root made an unbeaten 75 on what former England skipper Michael Atherton said was arguably his most important day as skipper.
He was ably supported by Joe Denly,who overcame a torrid start to make a vital half-century.
Australia's bowlers did little wrong on a pitch that has become as easy to bat on as any time in the game.
Josh Hazlewood has taken two wickets and Pat Cummins one.
