    2.4 edged and gone! Cook had no choice but to play the line, but the ball kissed the edge with a hint of outswing, and comfortably pouched by Handscomb at first slip! 2/1

    54.2 through him! Cummins makes the breakthrough moments before tea. A top delivery. Round the wicket, just back of a length, zips past Stoneman's inside edge into middle stump. A gem of a ball to end a very fine innings. Was that reverse swing? 127/2

    59.3 Vince is run out for 83! A sensational pick-up-and-shy from Nathan Lyon in the covers, and he's gone by a yard! Vince knew from the moment he set off that he was up against it, but it still took a dead-eyed off-balance fling at two stumps to seal the deal! 145/3

    70.4 massive moment! Huge appeal for lbw, given not out by Erasmus, and Smith has called the review. Root falling across a full delivery, trying to play it too square, the bat got caught behind his pad. This looks very good. Smashing middle! 163/4

    103.3 double breakthrough! Moeen is given lbw. He's called for the review but this looks pretty good. Pitches around middle, straightens a fraction. Hits him low on the front pad. No bat involved. It's hitting the top of middle! (Umpire's call, so review retained) 249/6

    105.1 it's a collapse now! Lovely bowling, but a poor shot from Woakes. Driving against the spin. Tossed up outside off from round the wicket, Woakes tries to go through covers, the ball turns back to hit off stump 250/7

    19.4 that's huge! Ball has got a key wicket. Short of a length, angled in at Warner who tries to pull through the leg side, can't keep the ball down and he finds Malan at short midwicket - taken with a bit of a juggle, relief on Malan's face 59/3

    24.5 huge appeal! Handscomb is so far back in his crease as Anderson fires in the yorker. Was that missing leg? England don't think so and review! There's no inside-edge ... this could be a critical moment of the Test. And it is smashing leg stump! 76/4

    67.2 oh my goodness, what a floppy way to give it away! Broad rolled his fingers and suckered Marsh into the drive, but the ball never reached him and instead looped futilely to Anderson at mid-off! What a moment. Marsh departs crestfallen. He'd done the hard work this morning, but was comprehensively undone by that one 175/5

    3.3 hooked to long leg! Oh boy, what has Cook done there?! Maybe he doesn't want to go full. A well-directed short ball, over middle and leg, Cook can't get over the ball was he hooks, it's a big top edge and superbly held on the boundary by Starc. Ran around and got down low to grab it. A poor match for the former captain 11/1

    40.6 he won't go further than fifty! Full, straight, nips back off the seam, and given by Aleem Dar. Root ponders for an age then decides against the review. Almost a carbon copy of the first innings. Resume those conversion-rate debates. Is that the decisive blow of this Test. Replay shows it was three reds 113/5

    53.2 massive turn, and Paine whips off the bails! This one is going upstairs for the stumping...Moeen's toe is on the line, but is there anything behind it? I don't think there is. ... this is a big call. The stump cam implies there might be a millimetre in it, but I think there'll be a riot if this isn't given. The decision is OUT! 155/6
