With England all out in their second innings for 375, putting Australia in the position of having to chase 311 runs for the win. It seems inevitable that the question is on everyone’s mind as to whether the travelling team can turn up any more surprises; especially in the shape of 19-year-old Ashton Agar.

311 seems like a long slog and a hard score to make for this seemingly lacklustre Australia yet as we witnessed in the first innings the Aussies weren’t too short of surprises. Reaching a record breaking debut score for a number 11 at the tender age of 19 Agar managed to surpass all expectation and came to the forefront of international cricket in a bit of rush, in such a manner that his success may influence his team to step up their game.

It remains to be seen as to whether Australia can do the impossible and scrape a win and as to whether Agar can remain unfazed by the pressure placed on his shoulders to perform to expectation for his country.
