Congrats Santa!!

As one of the people who criticised his selection for the Australia tour, and was ambivalent about his selection this series, it's never been his willingness to try to handle the nasty fast bowlers in question. He's done hard yards previously against teams like South Africa, batting long at a low strike rate and just somehow surviving. He'll get behind it and will wear a few. Has done exceptionally well this innings to survive and then eventually knock off the century.

Played santa. Good discipline and concentration yesterday, and now reaping the rewards.

Let's see BJ smash another 30 in 4 overs then declare.

Stokes is legit the only player who looks like he could give a **** right now. Still bowling 140+.

Really well done from Santner ... great to see him live up to that all-rounder role! He had a torrid time yesterday and did so well to get through, now really reaping the rewards.

Nice to see us start to flick the switch as well. BJ within reach ... no need to declare yet, just keep grinding them, I reckon.

I'm finding this very nerve-wracking watching BJ get close to his double and starting to play more attackingly ...
