Australia pass 500 as Scott Boland and Brendan Doggett continue to drag England around the field. Doggett – batting at No.11 – has cracked double-figures, making this just the third time every batsman in an Australian line-up has done so.

The last time? Shane Warne’s third Test back in 1992 in Sri Lanka, when he first put himself on the map as a spinner. Australia turned a first-innings deficit of almost 300 runs into a famous 16-run win that day.
No Australian hit a hundred in Colombo either, before the locals crumbled for 164 (from 2-127) when a famous first-ever win over Australia loomed. Warne took three late wickets when Allan Border threw him the ball in hope.
