We should have learned by now not to trust Daniel when he says there is no chance of any play today so let's record the day 4 episode early... So, when play did actually happen (about an hour after the episode dropped), Toby and Dan had to regroup and do another epsiode at close.

Australia 317 (Labuschagne 51, Marsh 51; Woakes 5-62) & 214-5 (Labuschagne 111; Wood 3-27)

England 592 (Crawley 189, Bairstow 99*; Hazlewood 5-126)

Australia are 61 runs behind
