SCORECARD | TEXT COMMENTARY
Root (47no) combined Burns (62no) nine balls to the afternoon’s drama – which finally started at 1.30pm following constant rain – if nightwatchman Craig Overton (5) snicked supporting to hands Josh Hazlewood his 50th Ashes wicket.
Hazlewood angled a delivery in, got it to straighten and then clip on Overton border as the batsman pressed forward, adding just two runs to his overnight score.
Hazlewood appeared likely to add to his tally, analyzing Root and Burns using a run of tough deliveries, however also the skipper and his spouse made it through that first spell and the near three-hour second session in a pitch with couple of gremlins to leave England 125-2, 372 runs in arrears.
Mitchell Starc, playing his first Test of the series, was leaky – the left-armer is likely at nearly four an over and conceded the border by which Burns pinpointed his Test fifty, from 100 balls.
England – that must avoid defeat to be able to keep their hopes of regaining the urn living – resumed on 23-1, a mammoth 474 runs behind Australia’s Steve Smith-inspired 497-8 announced, together with Joe Denly (4) having fallen overdue on day two into a excellent short-leg catch from Matthew Wade.
