Ashes 2017/18: 3rd Test, day 4, 5 things we learnt from the day

#4 Paine and Cummins adds to visitor's woes

Tim Paine made an unbeaten 49

After the menacing 301 stand between Smith and Marsh, Tim Paine and Pat Cummins added to England's worries with a brilliant 93-run stand that hammered down the visitor's hopes for staging a late fightback. Cummins once again proved that he was no mug with the bat while Paine played the anchor role.

Initially the pair were in no hurry to get things moving with the lead growing but as they got settled in, Cummins started unleashing his shots. Paine remained composed as ever and in no time the duo had thwarted England's last hopes.
