With their slow scoring, the new ball will probably be taken before Oz have got much past 200. Fair chance of a first innings lead here.

Coady and Collins gone now from Wolves and Kilman seems to be a possible departure too (though Coady wasn't with them last year anyway).
I know they're under FFP pressure but assume they'll be looking for at least one replacement if Kilman goes.
