4.2 OUT! TIMBER! That is an absolute beauty from Starc! Roy's comeback into the side is not a good one and England in trouble as they have lost both the openers within the first 5 overs. The late swing does him in. This is a length ball, it lands around off and cuts back in sharply. Roy plays all around it. Not sure what kind of shot he was looking to play, probably just trying to cover the movement and get bat on ball but fails to do so and the stumps are hit. 20/2

| Phil Salt | 14 | 15 | 3 | 0 | 93.33 |
|
4 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Cummins has his revenge and he draws first blood for his side. Gets rid of the dangerous Salt! This is on a length and around off, it lands and then moves away. Salt looks to defend but this flies off the outside edge and straight into the hands of Steven Smith! He makes no mistake and that is the perfect start for the home side. 18/1

| Dawid Malan | 134 | 128 | 12 | 4 | 104.68 |
|
45.2 OUT! TAKEN! A bit easy this time for Agar! End of one of the best innings from Malan! He alone has helped his team reach to such a total! Needed to continue but has done enough, you say! Zampa goes flat and on middle. Malan had to generate all the power as he rocks back and tries to launch over mid on but fails and Ashton Agar takes an easy catch. A bit of tiredness in that shot but nonetheless, end of a great innings from Malan. 259/8

| James Vince | 5 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 83.33 |
|
7.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Number three goes down and England in all sorts now. Not a good comeback for Vince too on his return into the side and Cummins has his second. The skipper leading from the front. Lovely nut. On a length and around off, it angles in at first, lands and then moves away. Vince looks to play the original trajectory but the movement does him in. It goes off the outside edge and Carey does the rest. 31/3

| Sam Billings | 17 | 22 | 2 | 0 | 77.27 |
|
13.2 OUT! TIMBER! A boundary to begin his spell and now he strikes back! Marcus Stoinis is absolutely delighted as he breaks the stand which was going along nicely for England. That is another top nut. This lands outside off, it is on a length. It pitches and then jags back in. Sam Billings looks to play an expansive drive down the ground but this sneaks between the gap of bat and pad and hits the stumps. Marcus Stoinis is pumped up. Australia remain on top. 66/4

| Jos Buttler C Wk | 29 | 34 | 2 | 0 | 85.29 |
|
23.1 OUT! TAKEN! The stand reaches fifty and Buttler falls. Zampa strikes and that is the wicket Australia wanted. Zampa is elated. He tosses it up on off, Buttler looks to go over cover but there is not a lot of room on offer. He ends up chipping it a lot straighter than he would have liked. The man at mid off, Agar, moves to his left and takes a decent catch. Half the side back in the hut now for England. Buttler walks back after getting off to a start. They needed him to go on. 118/5

| Liam Dawson | 11 | 17 | 0 | 0 | 64.70 |
|
30.2 OUT! RUN OUT! BULLSEYE FROM AGAR! What a hit from him and right after the drinks break, Australia find the breakthrough. Length and outside off. Dawson knocks it straight to point. He runs across but was not fully committed to his running. Ashton Agar at point had ample time to aim at his target and he scores. A direct-hit and Dawson was not even in the frame. 158/6

| Chris Jordan | 14 | 18 | 0 | 0 | 77.77 |
|
36.5 OUT! LBW! This time Zampa gets his man but Jordan challenges the decision! Zampa goes very quick, short and on middle. Jordan clears his front leg to pull but misses and gets hit high on the pads. An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Jordan reviews. No bat involved shows the technology. THREE REDS on the Ball Tracking and Zampa gets his second wicket. Speed was key for Zampa here. 199/7

48.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Pat Cummins gets his wicket. His third one. Cummins bangs in short and around middle. Wood looks to pull but gets a faint edge and Alex Carey doesn't make any mistake. 281/9

28.3 OUT! TAKEN! Finally, something to cheer for the Englishmen! Short in length and on middle. Warner pulls it very flat, it goes to deep square leg where Sam Billings runs in and takes it. He does well to hold on. End of an excellent innings from Warner. Australia needed a good start and it was well provided by Warner. An easy job for the upcoming batters now as only 88 runs are needed. 200/2

19.4 OUT! TAKEN! Stop the press, England finally manage to get a wicket! England though need at least two or three more quickly. End of an entertaining knock from Head. Perishes in the attempt to find the fence. This is short and on middle, Head hammers the pull. It goes straight to deep mid-wicket where it is taken by Salt. 147/1

30.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! That is a superb catch from Buttler! Marnus Labuschagne walks back for a single digit score. A happy phase for England. Still though, they will need a miracle to get back into the game. Willey is delighted and so is Buttler. This is full and outside off, tailing away. Marnus Labuschagne looks to drive but away from the body, this goes off the outside edge. Jos Buttler dives full stretch to his right, sticks a hand out and takes it brilliantly. 206/3
