Alright, folks. Game on, and game almost over, if things continue at the pace they have. We saw 26 wickets fall in the first two days: a combination of a pitch doing enough, some fast bowlers using it well, and a lot of batting that doesn’t know how to handle it. The unforced error count has been high for both sides. On debut, Beau Webster’s 105 deliveries is the longest innings anyone has produced. Nathan Lyon and Ravindra Jadeja have delivered nine overs between them, and that’s the only spin out of 156 overs bowled.

So now we’ve got India 145 ahead, with Jadeja and Washington to resume, three fast bowlers who could raffle No11 between them to follow, and then an Australian chase of whatever those five batters can add. So yes, maybe the current pair resume and bat all day, but it’s more likely to be over quickly.

Today is also Jane McGrath Day at the SCG for the McGrath Foundation to raise money for breast cancer care, so the ground will be the usual wash of pink. Shall we commence?
