Simply have to win this one tonight.
Not sure the pitch is as docile as you say. Its definitely slow, but looks to be a bit up and down. Might crumble some more today and help Swann. The top came off a few deliveries yesterday around the footmarks.

I think Australia will struggle... even with some more Agar heroics, at 174/6, 311 is a long, long way away!
