Australia vs England, 2nd Ashes Test Day 3 Live Updates: Australia's batters made full use of England's inconsistent bowling before a late fightback under lights kept the second Test in the balance at the Gabba. By stumps on Day 2, Australia were 378/6, holding a 44-run lead after a frenetic day in which three home batters – Jake Weatherald, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith – made half-centuries. At Stumps, Alex Carey was batting on 46* and Michael Neser on 15*. (LIVE SCORECARD)

Australia vs England, 2nd Ashes Test Day 3
Four!
No run.
FOUR MORE! AUSTRALIA LEAD BY 103 NOW. Overpitched, on middle and leg, Starc nails his on drive and gets it through mid on. Ben Stokes dives to his right from mid on, gets a hand to it, but the ball still races to the ropes. This stand is now worth 21. But once again, England have Boland on strike for the first ball of the next over.
FOUR! Up and over. Though not sure who will be happier with the result. The runs are valuable, of course, but Starc would have hoped that this would have been stopped by someone. England, on the other hand, will be happy to keep Starc on strike. On a length, outside off, Mitchell Starc throws his bat at it and gets it over cover. Jofra Archer starts to give a chase but then gives up pretty quickly.
Similar ball, this time MS gets right behind the line to block the ball towards mid off.
On a good length, around leg, moving away, Mitchell looks to push it through the off side but misses.
Back of a length, around leg stump, Starc hops and keeps it down.
A bouncer, from over the wicket, pitched around leg stump, moving away, Mitchell Starc sways away from the line.
Full and outside off, Boland comes forward nicely to defend but misses it by a big margin.
A short ball now, around middle and leg, Mitchell tucks it behind square leg and gets across to the other end. Moves to 30.
