Australian cricket team would sense that they can inflict a lot of damage after trailing by 82  runs. England’s assistant Paul Collingwood pointed out that the side is trying to make the game more interesting in the changing landscape of cricket. Paul Collingwood said if they don’t play fearless cricket then Test cricket won’t survive.

Usman Khawaja looked in complete control during an unbeaten knock of 126 runs in 279 balls and struck 14 fours and 2 sixes. Usman Khawaja didn’t panic even after playing a string of dot balls and showed immense mental application.

The morning session of Day 3 would be a fascinating one as England would be eyeing a flurry of wickets as Pat Cummins can also inflict damage at the back end of the innings. Moeen Ali has been productive with the ball in hand and has taken 2 scalps but has been a tad expensive.
