Pretty even imo. I hope Dazza's sloppiness on the runout chance doesn't cost us.

Session 3 day 1 can be pretty good for batting and there are a lot of overs to make up. These two + Carey/Starc/Cummins bring a lot of power.

Mitchell into the attack. Not sure he's done much bowling lately.
He looked like he hadn't bowled much lately too sending down a few pies, Phillips or Rachin might have been a better option bowling some spin.

Not panic stations yet but the partnership between Marsh and Green looks dangerous and could swing it back the Aussies way if it continues after tea.

I think a lot of Green's issues might actually be to do with how he plays that shot there. He needs to be hitting that through square midwicket or even square leg, not wide mid on. That's probably also why he struggles to rotate the strike.
Happened again just there to the disgusting Kuggs leg stump half volley. Straight to mid on for no run.

I genuinely wonder if it's because he never learned to play the shot properly because he's so used to just driving everything.
I'm now actually kind of convinced this was a technical thing all along and not necessarily mental at its root because he looks confident now, moving into the line of the ball and capitalising on opportunities, but he still can't really play that shot properly.
