Hello everybody and welcome to live coverage of day four of the opening Test of the 2021-22 Ashes from the Gabba. The day’s opening delivery will be bowled on the stroke of 9.30am local time in Brisbane (10.30am AEDT / 11.30pm GMT).
It’s amazing what one good partnership can do isn’t it? From Watson and Crick decoding the mysteries of life, to Morecambe and Wise perfecting comic timing, and Mavis and Rita turning a Post Office into a theatre of the absurd (I don’t really know about that last example). To that list can now be added Joe Root and Dawid Malan, because their partnership has not only taken this match into a fourth day, it may well have saved an entire series.
