The final half hour field placings were just so Village - marvelous stuff and of course it worked
After a short rain delay England are 27-2, effectively 34-2
Duckett caught brilliantly in the gully by Green and Creepy snicking one for an easy take by the keeper.
Always the same - ball starts moving around before a thunderstorm
Root taking it to the Aussie bowlers, 2 audacious ramp/scoop shots v Boland, first goes for 6 second for 4.
Itâs made Boland think too much about what heâs bowlingâŚ
55-2, lead by 62
77-3
Cummins to Pope, OUT
Ohmygosh, thatâs a moment of pure talismanic force from Cummins! Route-one cricket, and when itâs executed just right, itâs absolutely unplayable. Fast, inswinging yorker that absolutely howitzers through Popeâs desperate attempt to jam his bat down, and leaves his stumps in an absolute mess. What a moment in this mad, mad morning. Weâll have to check replays to see if this is conventional swinfg or reverse. Oh, itâs a proper, old-fashioned inswinger
Ollie Pope b Cummins 14 (16b 2x4 0x6) SR: 87.5

Lbw on stroke of lunch
Long review
Missing!

Stokes reverse sweep, doesnât get it all, does it carryâŚAussieâs appeal, given out on field.
Stokes doesnât go anywhere.
On-field review, bump ball.
âSame old Aussies always cheatingâ

Bairstow gone LBW going for the sweep.

Stokes gone.
Do we have a plan B or just Bazball 100%?
Meh
We have Jimmy reverse sweeping his 1st ball for 4

273 all out, Australia require 281 to win.
Donât think England are going to win this one. Think the short session after tea yesterday helped Australia.

Remarkably similar to 2005.
Australia 10 from the first over and a decent chance gone begging.
Root and Bairstow not moving on a genuine Khawaja edge.
Not picking Foakes will cost us this Test
