Glenn McGrath says the match is Engalnd's 'for the taking'

As England are at the bright spot, Aussie great Glenn McGrath has also placed England ahead of Australia in the match. Speaking to BBC, McGrath has stressed on the enormity that Day 4 morning will carry in the match and says if England scores quickly then they can take the match away from Australia. Nevertheless, he also made it known that the pitch still has enough for the Australians.

“The thing is, they score so quickly, so Australia need to be on their game first thing tomorrow, see what the overhead conditions are going to be like. I think that'll probably play a big part in what happens, but there's still enough in this pitch for the Australians,” said McGrath. If we get enough balls in the right area, I think we can create 10 chances. The fact that they put on 54 for the last two (wickets) was a bit of a bonus – 250, it's there for Australia, but the way England bat, they love chasing, it's theirs for the taking,” McGrath added.

So, what do you think, which way this match is headed? Will Australia take an unassailable 3-0 lead or England will mark a comeback? All to look forward to.
