Well, here we are again. The third test has started in Perth and Australia are 179/6 at tea. That's not actually all that good. I may have a crumpet. :tea:

Well, they've made 200 - but lost a couple more wickets. Oh well. :tea:

Mitchell Johnson is being a bit stubborn. He'll run out of partners soon enough though.

Johnson's gone. Desperate rearguard stuff now. Once again, the Aussies fail to make a score on a decent batting wicket against the English onslaught.

And there we go - 268 all out. A little tail-end slogging got the crowd cheering but that is not a good score at all.

England to knock off 500+ three tests running anyone?

And England 29 without loss at stumps. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
