England - Rather Disappointing Third Day At The Gabba.

When England had the Aussies at 209 for 7, they were in the driving seat. But then England allowed Australia off the hook as the home side put on 119 for the final three wickets.
England found themselves facing a deficit of just 26 but conspired to lose two wickets in finishing the day just eight runs ahead.
Little blame attached to Vince for the loss of his wicket but Alastair Cook played a most foolish hook shot and was caught on the boundary. Shameful batting from a man of his talent and experience.
Congratulations to Aussie skipper, Steve Smith whose unbeaten 140 will almost certainly prove to be final difference between the sides.
Tomorrow, if England fail to manage to bat through until the final day - defeat is inevitable! (Even that may not be enough.)
