While Crawley and Brook are at the crease, they have the talent to take the game away from Australia and perform the miracle. And repeat.
Mitch Starc back into the attack. He has had two warnings for running on the footmarks, one more and he is out of the attack. So he bowls around the wicket to avoid the danger area.

Another maiden over, but an eventful one, with a near run out and some questionable shots. Fatigue would be setting in and Harry Brook is very lucky to get away with a comical attempt at a shot
Nice battle between Crawley and Lyon, maiden over
Scott Boland was certain he had Harry Brook trapped LBW, huge appeal, but umpire is not convinced and Pat Cummins elects not to review. Good choice as well, as replays show it was missing.

He can put them away. They played Nathan Lyon exceptionally well the first spell, aggressive, almost trying to hit him off his length.’
