JA Burns 163 (309b 19x4 0x6)
N Wagner 15-2-54-0
KS Williamson 3-0-6-0
Ten more overs to go now. Australia will be level or thereabouts by stumps. They would love to be only two down at that time
99.6
Wagner to Smith, no run, full, outside off, driven to short cover
Back over the wicket to Smith
99.5
Wagner to Burns, 3 runs, that field draws a loose shot. Burns goes to try to repeat that shot from earlier in the over, looking to exploit the 7-2 field. This time the ball is not short enough, and he mis-hits the pull. Luckily he clears mid-on
99.4
Wagner to Burns, no run, full, angling in, defended watchfully. Burns instinctively moving across now
And now we have a 7-2 field. He is going to bowl full and wide now
99.3
Wagner to Burns, FOUR, Burns knows this a 6-3 field, and he needs to just half-connect if he pulls. And he drags this from wide outside off, and connects this properly for four
99.2
Wagner to Burns, no run, on a length, angling in, just outside off, defended off the back foot
Round the wicket now
99.1
Wagner to Smith, 1 run, full and wide, driven, but can't beat the diving man at point
Boonie: "Steve Smith's test average just ticked over 60... What a player and could go down as one of the all-time test greats at this rate. "
Wagner to bowl now. With a reinforced cover ring
