He manages to get a top edge that flies high towards deep mid-wicket. Ben Stokes comes running in from the deep and holds on to the catch to see his side take a slender first-inning lead. That will be Lunch on Day 3!  386/10

114.3 OUT! CAUGHT! The short ball ploy continues to work as Ollie Robinson has his second wicket in two overs! He bangs this in once again and delivers it outside off. Nathan Lyon continues to attack instead of defending and connects his pull shot this time. He does not get enough elevation and power so the ball goes straight towards the fielder at deep square leg.

Crawley gets forward to defend but gets a faint edge through to Alex Carey who takes this neatly. Both the openers for England are back in the hut as Australians erupt in joy. The lead for the hosts is 34 at the moment and if we continue to have more interruptions it is going to get harder for the English batters to adapt. The rub of the green going Australia's way at the moment.  27/2

The skipper is leading by example here with his third wicket as he gets his opposite number and roars in joy! He bowls this on a good length and angled into the middle and leg.
