2 days to go, Australia ahead by 132 runs with 3 wickets in hand.

Australia would like to bat until they have a 300 run lead and bowl England out for less.

England would like to clean up Australia early tomorrow and bat at least until first session on day 5 and have a crack at Australia in about 70 overs, a tempting but risky target.

Steve Smith what can you say.
