Yesterday, England were heading for abject humiliation; today they showed a real fire in their bellies.
The final four Aussie batsmen were still to be removed - and removed they promptly were.
England were left with a seemingly impossible target of 359 to chase down even though there was plenty of time left in the game.
Jason Roy did the usual and Burns soon followed. Sigh!
Skipper Joe Root then rebuilt England's claim with a stand of 126 before Denley departed for a gritty half century.
Stokes joined the captain and they batted out the day leaving another 203 to win.
There are seven overs left on the old ball - but those 42 balls will hopefully allow Joe and Ben to play themselves in tomorrow morning and be ready to face the pace onslaught which will be awaiting them from this fine Aussie attack.
What a superb day's aggressive cricket! Australia are still big favourites to win but, at least, England have some sort of chance of stealing the game.
Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!
