With most of the firepower remaining the Aussies will be eyeing a mammoth first innings total that looks pretty much imminent.
However, England will be eying to make the most of the conditions especially with some help with the new balls. The tourists will also be hoping for some better outings in the field. Joe Root and Co was pretty looked pretty much ordinary in the field and dropped multiple catches.
