So England is once again in the driver’s seat in the Ashes. If it were not for the rain on day 3, I think the game would be close to over by now.

Anyway, Australia has to save the match now by playing around 95-odd overs with a huge task of 399 runs. For a change we may see some match-saving from the Aussies rather than ‘going for the kill’.

But I must reiterate - the fast scoring by England is a great ploy. It is basically giving Aussies a taste of their own medicine.

With 1-2 in the series, the Aussies will have their backs to the wall and will have to try something completely different to change the momentum.
