Whatever malaise caught the England team in the second test seems to be effecting the Australians in the Third test at Edgbaston, with 6 wickets falling for the cost of 86 runs at the time of writing. The recall of Steven Finn has paid dividends, with Finn and Anderson sharing the 6 wickets so far – Anderson stands at 4 wickets for 18 runs from 9 overs, a remarkable haul.
Rogers continues to enjoy what some believe to be his last test series before a well earned retirement, with an innings at the time of writing of 41. Wickets have fallen at 7, 18, 34, 77, and 82 runs.
If England can skittle out the tail end before the end of the day, and can stay at the crease for a day and a half, they could well gain the upper hand in the series.
