If he doesn't perform then there is back up he knows it. Next Ashes in Australia will be his last. He won't play much. England didn't have penetration from Anderson, I mean he didn't get swing. Robinson was unlucky. Rest things were fine. Moeen was rusty except that miss from Bairstow against green. Things would have been little different.
Pujara didn't do well as Kohli wanted him to score at faster pace since England tour of 2018. That's why he didn't performed good in last three four years since Australia tour of 2018. In fact, against Aussies in 2021, he did exceptional job in my opinion. Especially in last two tests. On last day, especially, without him, we would have lost Sydney as well as Gabba.
England can't score that much today. England have to bat well till tea tomorrow in order to secure draw or Win. If not England losing. Brooks and Duckett important innings today. Career changing innings for them.
They scored 398 in 78 overs on Day 1 lets say Aussies get all out in 10 overs England will have 75+ overs to bat so taking into consideration a turning and slow wicket 280-300 still a possibility the way they bat especially if the openers get going
If eng get 50+ lead in 1st innings then then they will win as still enough time left for conclusion as england look to score everytime 5+ rr
Cant say if England get a 60 run lead but their batting goes to 60/70 - 5 then advantage Australia
