To win test matches sometimes you have to be brave. Aussies natural inclination is to be aggressive and attack. Our batsman are not mentally the strongest.

Australia don't have to win the series to retain the Ashes, England do.
They also have Starc and Hazelwood to come back. Given they were on the ropes for most of his match they'll be happy enough with a draw.

Jason Roy 150" is my prediction.
True, but they'll want a draw to be worst case scenario. There's no way they'll be happy to settle for that from this position.
For them, winning here goes a huge way to winning the series, beating us at our fortress, then going to the ground they have been most comfortable on for years. It's the mental equivalent of us winning at the Gabba.

On the ropes for 2/3 of the First day. True that their strike rate wasn’t anything major while bowling but our run rate was mediocre so hardly mattered, milquetoast lead we posted. They’ve been Comfortably on top Second Innings.

BBC says 20-30% chance of rain. Metoffice is more optimistic.
