Now Australia will just look to bat normally and post something which will ensure they can't lose the game. England on the other hand, need wickets and quickly. Will the fightback continue from them? We will find out.

The Australian bowlers could not capitalize when they had England completely on the backfoot! They were brilliant with the new ball but had no answers to the counter-attack from Bairstow and Stokes. However, they were really good this morning and have given their side a very good lead. Boland continues to impress as he finishes with a four-fer. All of them except for Labuschagne got a wicket at least but Boland was the pick.

Australia have made quick work of the three wickets they had to take this morning but England will be very delighted with their recovery! From 36 for 4, they have finished with a score close to 300 and given Australia a lead of 122. The visitors have just the one man to thank and that is Jonny Bairstow! He played an innings of a lifetime. First it was Stokes who took England to safer shores with a good stand and then Wood hung in there. Bairstow though was the mainstay, he did not add a lot on Day 4 but surely did his job and has kept England in the game.

77.5WScott Boland to Jonny Bairstow
OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Boland gets the wicket of Bairstow and that ends a fine, fine knock from him. He walks off to a standing ovation and well-deserved.

Bairstow looks to defend but it takes the outside edge and the keeper does the rest. Can Australia keep England under 300 now?
