“He seems to somehow find a way of putting the pressure back on the bowlers,” Malan said. But he said the job was only half done, and England needed at least another 250-300 runs to pressure Australia. Malan said the only way for England to go forward was to forget the first innings, not be “sitting ducks” and just take the attack back to the Australian bowlers. Malan faced 177 deliveries as the pair got through almost two full sessions. Root faced 158 deliveries, hit 10 boundaries and was one run shy of his highest previous score in an Ashes test Down Under. But after being dismissed for 147 on Day 1 and conceding a 278-run first-innings deficit, the third-wicket pair finally gave England a session of dominance.
