    Incredible delivery.

    Starc is that sort of bowler who bowls an odd mix of absolute dross and unplayable deliveries. If he had better control he'd be up there with the very best.

    I thought it was a poor shot, Argentine sort of snuck it in all it needed was a straight bat

    Brook had rode his luck all innings, but thankfully ended up with a good score. We are dropping like flies at the moment though.

    Shocking. Not gong to make 300 on a batting track.

    They're under lights and it's swinging and seaming. It looks darker than when England had to bowl spin from both ends last week.

    Aside from that awful opening spell from Hazlewood and Starc it's looked more favourable for bowling than batting to me.

    Broad and Woakes and Woods will get a few boundaries at least!

    Don’t forget that they won the toss so they didn’t expect us to go this far

    Managed to get up to 250. Australia are between two ports now. There's part of them that will want England to stay out there if they can't secure quickfire wickets after tea.

    The later it gets into the day they might have to bat that awkward period out before the close of play. If we can have them 3 or 4 down by the close we might have just shaded it.

    How's is a batting track when it's dark, floodlights are on and rain is expected shortly? I think we've done OK.

    300 will be good
    280 will be OK.

    Oops Wood is out to their non spinning off spinner

    I think he needs some new ones after missing the ball completely for a caught and bowled

    Just as well they've got Travis Head to take their catches. Never seen such abysmal fielding from the Aussies!

    I expect 4 down at close if weather holds out. The over rate is terrible again.
