150!​

Both of his Test match centuries have passed the mark, nine years apart.

He brings up the milestone with a reverse sweep for four.

Amazing innings here.

AUS 8-339

Great stuff Matty but every one of those reverse sweeps is making my grey hair curl.

Can't leave out the importance of Lyons knock today
A very big 21 so far

Lyons innings cannot be understated, his ton will be balls faced. 76.

Champion @happy_tiger - that's the good news.
The bad news is it's always left to the lower order.

No way Hap. 9 months of chemo a couple of years back and barely lost a follicle. It’s my best feature, I’ve mentioned my big feet but she scoffs. Somewhere between Patrick Swayze and a grey Ray Martin depending on who’s answering.

I was surprised how many runs he'd scored in Test cricket .....1700 odd ....12.3 average ....but no 50s in Test cricket ....have to be the most runs scored without having a 50

Excellent stuff from Renshaw. Nuts he was out of the side for so long.

A great innings from Renshaw comes to an end out 2 balls after tea on 190 after a lazy shot.He has taken us from a weak position when he came in to a dominating one and hopefully secured his position in the team for a while.

Did not see the last session but the wicket now looks like a very friendly track. Odds are low for a draw but if the wicket plays tricks late in the match the spinners may force a result but can’t see it happening.

I heard some of the commentary before the game saying they’d think it might turn they have two spinners in the team and they were probably hoping to bowl last.
