England has reached 7/309 at lunch to leave Australia more than a little bit nervous heading into the second session with a lead of just 126 runs on the final day of the third Test in Adelaide.

Opener Zak Crawley suggested he was not aware of comments made by Ben Stokes when the England captain said his dressing room is "not a place for weak men".

Head's fellow South Australian Alex Carey also cashed in, adding an unbeaten 52, as the local heroes combined in an unbroken 122-run partnership to bang another nail into England's coffin.
