The Australian bowlers have been most unfortunate on this tour so far as they have their job perfectly well without getting the support of the batsmen. James Pattinson will have to bowl against the wind on Day 3 as there will be very little margin for error.

The challenge is exaggerated by the fact that he will have to pick up wickets without leaking any runs. His best chance will lie in exploiting the swing that is available in the first hour of play so that Australia can expose the English tail as soon as possible. He will have an able partner in Siddle at the other end creating pressure with his tight line-and-length.
