    5.2 flicks a sweep straight to backward square in the ring! Dawson takes the catch moving to his left and takes it easily. Warner had the right idea trying to expose no man behind square but Warner rolled the wrists on the sweep rather than going up and over and hit it flat to the man. He threw his head back in frustration when he saw he'd picked out Dawson 33/1
    8.6 clothed straight to midwicket! Head undone by a 132kph, short ball. Clever bowling. It was banged in and Head was playing for a slower ball but it was on pace, he completely miscued it off the splice of the bat and it ballooned to Moeen Ali at midwicket. Simple catch 43/2
    43.3 holes out to long off! Tried to bring up his hundred with a six and fell three metres short. He skipped down to a slower leg break, he sliced this high off the toe, got a decent piece of it but not quite enough and Salt is composed on the rope to take the catch. 234/5
    27.4 oh no, Labuschagne has chipped to mid-off! He almost got out right at the start of his innings to Rashid, top-edging a slog-sweep short of long-on, and he gets this attempt even more wrong... the bat seemed to jam into the pitch as he paddled across the line, and a simple catch loops tamely to mid-off. Timely breakthrough for England, after a productive stand 144/3
    27.5 misses with a sweep, Billings whips off the bails! Has Rashid got him first ball? They are checking upstairs. Back foot dragged out, and Billings is quick. Carey's toe is inching back like a worm, but I don't think it's over the line. Gottim! Carey walks straight back off for a blob. Billings could be heard calling the sweep on stump mic, and it looked a premeditated shot to a ball wide of off 144/4
    48.5 caught at long on! Marsh nails this flat but like Smith fell just metres short of a six. It was full outside off, he was down on knee to mow it over long on, he hit it well but too flat, Vince is right on the rope and he takes the catch above his head. 264/7

    47.1 bowled him! Clever slower ball. Seam up but only 114kph, floated up full, Stoinis tried to launch over long on but was through the shot far too soon, gets a little bottom edge but it hits low on middle stump 256/6

    48.6 straight down Woakes' throat at deep backward square! A length ball tailing into the thigh, Starc pocks this up really well behind square but hit it straight to Woakes in the deep. Easy catch 264/8

    0.2 short and gloved down the leg side! Starc strikes second ball, gets Roy again. No rattle of the timbers this time, and perhaps Roy will feel he has got himself out here. Back of a length, 142kph/88mph on the hip and he gets tucked up, playing neither a pull nor a flick and getting a touch through to Carey. Up goes the finger and off walks England's senior opener 0/1

    5.1 shatters the stumps, Salt stepping to leg! Hazlewood hits the top of middle and leg, and England are three down early. Salt has been pretty free with exposing his stumps but doesn't get close to laying bat on ball with an ambitious swipe. Hazlewood gets his first wicket as captain, Australia taking charge 34/3
    0.5 bowled 'im! Beauty from Starc, England are 0 for 2! Another sizzling outswinger, this time at 146kph/91mph, and it turns Malan inside out before slamming into the top of off. Beautiful line, straightening from middle and off, plenty of heat on the ball and Malan was nowhere near it, looking to clip through the on side as the as the ominous "thunk" came from behind him 0/2
    27.5 Given lbw! Vince reviews. It was high but he was hit on the back though. It was a good length tailing into middle and off. Vince collapsed the back leg trying to swing it high over the leg side. No bat involved. Ball tracking has it smashing the top of middle. Out. Umpire's call on hitting so England keep the review but he was hitting a fair bit of middle. 156/4
    30.1 bowled him! Yorked himself! Billings jumped out early again, Zampa fires in full and straight, he turns it into a yorker as he tries to whip through the on side and loses his leg stump. He throws his head back in frustration 169/6

    28.3 bowled him! Straight through! Dragged the length back on off, leg break, but it skids on quicker, Ali plays back but isn't covering off and plays across the line, it slides through the gate and crashes into the top of off! 168/5

    33.6 splat go the timbers! Starc rips through Woakes, angling in from round the wicket and through a flaccid forward prod. Maybe just straightening past the outside edge. Took some tap in that over, but Starc hits the right areas and moves Australia to within two wickets of victory 189/8
    30.5 skied straight up to mid off! Crazy shot! England needed to settle and Curran tried to hit out. He didn't pick the wrong un as he tried to launch with mid off up, the miscue goes straight up, Hazlewood backs back and takes it comfortably. 169/7
    38.5 hit on the full, given lbw! Four for Zampa. Dawson reviews but it looked pretty straight. Sliding in from over the wicket and pops him on the front pad around ankle height, only has to be clipping - and it is! Umpire's call on leg stump, and Australia have wrapped this one up with room to spare 208/10
    35.5 dragged on, no kicking this away! Back of a length from over the wicket, gets big and cramps Willey for room as he attempts to punch off the back foot. Comes off the inside edge and then off the body into the stumps... Willey tosses his bat in frustration, and this really might just be that for England's hopes 197/9
