England batter Dawid Malan says England needs 300 more runs to be in with a chance of pulling off a historic Ashes recovery at the Gabba.
"We spoke this morning about making sure we go out and express ourselves," Malan said."After what we did in the first innings, we almost needed to park that and put it aside. This needed to be a fresh innings.
Despite being brought back down to earth after two exceptional days of play, Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne said the mood in the Australian dressing room was "very calm". "Test cricket is a grind, it's meant to be hard, otherwise it wouldn't mean so much to both countries. Labuschagne said he was unaware of any issue that would have kept Josh Hazlewood — surprisingly unused after tea — from bowling, other than to keep him fresh."Playing a lot of cricket here at the Gabba, the new ball is crucial.
