27.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Michael Neser provides the much-needed breakthrough to the Aussies. Short pitched, around off, was there to be smacked. Zak Crawley stands upright and goes for the pull. Swings over it and ends up with a faint tickle off the under edge of his bat back to the keeper. Alex Carey makes no mistake and grabs hold of it. Crawley is gone for 76 (93). 122/3

1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Mitchell Starc strikes in the first over, just as he did at Perth and as he has so often done in his career. A golden duck for Ben Duckett. Starc goes full and gets the ball to move away in the air. Duckett feels the need to play at it but he was better off covering the off stump and letting it go through. Hangs his bat out away from the body and the ball swings away to catch the outside edge. It goes low at ankle height to first slip, where Marnus Labuschagne does the rest. 5/1

2.3 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Mitchell Starc is carrying on from where he left off in Perth. A nothing shot from Ollie Pope, and he pays the price. England find themselves in early trouble. Angling across the right-hander, on a back of a length. Pope stays on the back foot and sets up to punch it away on the off side with an angled bat. He extends his hands but the ball seams back in to catch the inside edge and crashes back into the stumps. A three-baller for Ollie. 5/2

39.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Mitchell Starc strikes on his return to the attack. An uninspiring shot from Harry Brook, and he pays the price. A tempter from Starc, full and pushed wide on off. Brook cannot resist himself and throws his hands at the ball in a bid to thrash it through the off side. Gets a thickish outside edge that flies quickly to second slip, where Steve Smith gets both hands together around his face and snaffles it. Starc now has 415 Test wickets, the most for a left-arm quick in the format, going past the Pakistan legend Wasim Akram. Brook falls for 31 (33). England are now 176/4. 176/4
|
|||||
| Ben Stokes C | 19 | 49 | 4 | 0 | 38.77 |
|
55 OUT! STOKES IS RUN OUT! A great piece of fielding from Josh Inglis. A massive moment in the game. Brendan Doggett delivers a fuller delivery, just outside off. Ben Stokes gets behind the line and dabs it in front of point. He starts running without looking at his partner and Josh Inglis is quick to get the ball to his right. Joe Root spots the danger and rejects the plan of the single, but Ben is halfway down the track. Josh picks it up cleanly with his right hand and while being on the move, he has a shy at the batting end. He has one stump to aim at and he knocks it down to catch Stokes short as he tries to return. 210/5

| Jamie Smith Wk |
|
2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
|
55.3 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! An absolute ripper from Scott Boland and one brings two for Australia. Nip-backer from Boland, on a length, Smith presses forward and brings his bat out in front but ends up leaving a yawning gap between the bat and the pad. The ball cuts back in to beat him on the inside edge and goes through the gate to crash into the stumps. 211/6
|
|||||
| Will Jacks | 19 | 31 | 3 | 0 | 61.29 |
|
64.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Mitchell Starc finds the edge this time. Will Jacks looked good during his stay but this is a shot he will want to look back at. Starc delivers it full, going across the batter. Will gets low and reaches out with his hands. The outside edge goes quickly and low towards second slip, where Steve Smith reacts quickly and gets low to grab it around his left leg. Jacks falls for 13 (31). Starc has his fourth wicket and now England are 251/7. 251/7
|
|||||
| Gus Atkinson | 4 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 133.33 |
|
66.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! An extraordinary grab by Alex Carey. Five wickets for Mitchell Starc. On a length, on the pads. Gus Atkinson tries to play the pick-up shot but closes the bat face early. The ball gets skied off a top edge and it goes well over the keeper's head. Alex Carey goes after it, as does Marnus Labuschagne from the slip cordon. Marnus gets in the way of Carey and ends up bumping into him but that does not put the keeper off at all. Alex keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through and reaches out in front to take a superb catch. The third umpire is called into action to check for a fair catch but the effort from Carey is clean. The third umpire wants to check if the ball clipped any wires of the spider cam but the replays show that it is not the case. 264/8

|
66.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Make that six wickets for Mitchell Starc. Another tame dismissal. Starc keeps it full, angling away, Brydon Carse pushes at it away from his body and the ball catches the outside edge. It goes low towards the keeper and Alex Carey dives to his right to take a safe catch. 264/9

| Jofra Archer | 38 | 36 | 2 | 2 | 105.55 |
|
76.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Stunner from Marnus Labuschagne to wrap this England's innings on 334. Brendan Doggett continues to bend his back and bowls another short one, on middle and leg, Jofra Archer pulls this behind square on leg and was expecting some runs. Marnus Labuschagne glides to his right, jumps parallel to the ground and grabs it with an outstretched right hand. Marnus made sure that the ball didn't get grounded at any point and completed the catch. 334/10

13.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Brydon Carse provides the much-needed breakthrough for the visitors. On a length, on the pads, from round the wicket. Travis Head looks to flick this towards the space around deep mid-wicket but he just closes the bat face early. Ends up spooning it over Gus Atkinson at a deepish mid on. Gus Atkinson backpedals and grabs it around his face. Travis Head is gone for 33 off 43. Australia are 77/1, trailing by 257 runs. 77/1

| Jake Weatherald | 72 | 78 | 12 | 1 | 92.30 |
|
25.5 OUT! LBW! A sensational knock of 72 from Jake Weatherald comes to an end as Jofra Archer traps him in front of the stumps. Toe-crusher, on middle and leg, Jake Weatherald goes for the flick but misses out completely on any sort of connection with the ball. The ball hits Jake on the right boot, right in front of the stumps and an appeal was all the umpire needed to raise his finger. Jake Weatherald was walking off straightaway but Marnus Labuschagne stopped him and discussed sending this upstairs, but Weatherald decided against it. Australia are 146/2, trailing by 188 runs. 146/2

| Marnus Labuschagne | 65 | 78 | 9 | 1 | 83.33 |
|
37.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Ben Stokes breaks through for England, like he always does. In the corridor on off, on a back of a length. Labuschagne waits back and looks to cut it behind square but the ball is a bit too close to his body. Gets an outside edge that just about carries behind. The keeper, Jamie Smith gets low in front and snaffles it. Marnus falls for 65 (78). Australia are now 196/3, trailing by 138 runs. 196/3
|
|||||
| Steve Smith C | 61 | 85 | 5 | 2 | 71.76 |
|
56.4 OUT! CAUGHT! What a stunner from Will Jacks, running to his right and putting in a dive to send the Aussie skipper back in the dressing room. Carse continues to bowl his heart out as he bends his back yet again, angling into the batter. Steve Smith does well to get inside and pulls this, looking to run this down to the long leg region, but the ball goes uppishly off a top edge. Will Jacks at a deepish backward square leg, glides to his right, puts in a dive and takes a one-handed stunner to send Smith back on 61. Australia are now 292/5, trailing by 42 runs. 292/5

| Cameron Green | 45 | 57 | 7 | 0 | 78.94 |
|
56.1 OUT! TIMBER! Carse removes Green from the middle and what a bluff this was from Brydon Carse. With the field set for a short one, into the body, Green thinks of outfoxing the bowler by backing away, exposing his stumps to Carse. The bowler instead changes the length and bowls it very full, around middle and off. Cameron Green tries to reach it and get something behind it but fails in doing so and the ball shatters the stumps. 291/4

|
63.5 OUT! BOWLED'EM! What an absolute ripper from Ben Stokes to get rid of Josh Inglis. Good length, around off, nipping back sharply into the batter. Josh Inglis gets beaten to the nip backer, which was sharp enough. The ball goes past the inside edge and disturbs the timber. Josh Inglis has to walk back on 23 (25). Australia are now 6 down with a deficit of 5 runs. 329/6
