England’s star pacer Ollie Robinson was the wrecker in chief as he took 3 wickets and conceded 55 runs in his 22.1 overs. The way Ollie Robinson got rid of Usman Khawaja was quite commendable as he bowled a pinpoint yorker and castled him.

As of now, England are leading by 35 runs but have lost 2 wickets as the morning session of Day 4 would be decisive. Ollie Pope, the right-handed batter could be the silent assassin as the batter has got a wide range of shots.

Australia would be somewhat dejected as they couldn’t get a sizeable lead. The visitors were bundled out for 386 runs. The skipper Pat Cummins played a handy knock of 38 runs in 62 balls and struck 3 huge sixes.

England’s pacers hunted in a pack as Ben Stokes’ field placements were spot on James Anderson foxed the elegant left-handed batter Alex Carey and it won’t be wrong to say that the pitch has started to deteriorate a bit.

Hopefully, we can get the ball moving and bat all day tomorrow – Ollie Robinson

Ollie Robinson was having an interaction with BBC and said that any target over 300 runs would be competitive against the mighty Aussies and pointed out that they are quite optimistic despite losing 2 wickets before rain intervened.

“It was sort of the first time the pitch came out a little bit in three days. The lights and overhead gave it a bit of nip and carry. If we carried on batting, it might have been a slightly different approach, but still positive. I think anything over 300, we are right in the game. Hopefully, we can get the ball moving and bat all day tomorrow,” said Ollie Robinson.
