Reaction from Simon Mann, Jonathan Agnew and Steve Finn as Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes lead the fightback on the third day of the Sydney test.

We hear from a "proud" Bairstow who hit a gutsy century as England's middle order showed character, following another top order collapse which left them 36-4. Vice-captain Steve Smith provides the view from the Australian dressing room.

Plus Glenn McGrath as the SCG turned pink for Jane McGrath day, Ian Chappell reflects on Aussie great Richie Benaud and Andy Zaltzman on the stats behind Bairstow's extraordinary knock.
