    Keep an eye on the DLS here. The clouds are dark to my left.

  2. Eng 197-4

    Mitchell inserts a short leg for the arrival of Liam Livingstone.

    The England number six fends away a short-ish delivery.

    Sometimes, your biggest strength can be a weakness! Jamie Smith hits it high, he gets a lot on it, but gets straight to the man at the deep square.

    WICKET

    Smith c Maxwell b Green (Eng 197-4)

    Caught on the hook!

    Cameron Green peppered Jamie Smith with short balls, which the England keeper struggled to get away.

    He got decent contact on the penultimate ball of the over, but sees the ball sail to Glenn Maxwell at backward square.

    Oh Maccio... (18:40)

    Joel inCarmarthen

    We're all blaming Maccio, right?!

    Tom in Malvern

    I believe the loss of Will Jacks is entirely the fault of Maccio in Shropshire.

    What a shot that is from Harry Brook, giving him room outside the leg stump and lifting it up and over. Actually, it's a similar ball and shot to the one that Will Jacks played to get out - only this one came out of the middle of the bat and flew through backward point!

  7. Eng 196-3

    Harry Brook wastes no time getting going again after the drinks break, cutting uppishly over the point boundary for six.

    Saqib Mahmood has just emerged with the drinks in the biggest, puffiest coat I've seen on a cricket field.

  9. Mark Wood
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Just when you think the momentum has swung a little in favour of Australia and all of a sudden, there's a free hit that frees up the game and the crowd are feeling good again!

  10. Eng 189-3

    A big over-step from Josh Hazlewood brings a free hit, which Brook dispatches for a two-bounce four over mid-off. That moves him past 80, his previous ODI high score.

    The players will take drinks, with England in control at this stage.

  11. Eng 182-3

    Cameron Green finds himself struggling with his line to Brook, firing down successive balls that called for wides on height.

    When he does go a little fuller, Brook whips him square and gets down the other end, with three more singles following.

    At this stage, Australia were 145-4.

  12. How stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Statistician on Test Match Special

    That 156-run third-wicket partnership between Will Jacks and Harry Brook is England's third highest against Australia in ODI cricket and the fourth highest by any team against Australia in this format. The highest is the 221-run partnership put on by Joe Root and Jason Roy at MCG back in January 2018.

  13. Eng 176-3

    Brook cutely plays the returning Josh Hazlewood for three to deep third, where Cameron Green retrieves the ball well.

    The England skipper moves to 75.

    Mark Gray: Brixworth CC's Dallas Burton Ground has a nifty bit of fortification. Hardly Galle, but…

    In the spirit of BBC Cricket live text commentaries, this seems a fitting way to end our castle grounds get involved. Thanks for all your contributions - some absolute crackers in there.

    For those of you texting in about Bamburgh Castle, we already featured it earlier today at 14:01.

  15. Eng 171-3

    Jamie Smith is the new man for England, and he fires his first ball close to the square leg fielder for a single.

    As you can see from the worm, Australia also lost a wicket in the 28th over - Marnus Labuschagne plinking the ball off his own helmet to offer a dolly catch.

    Will Jacks is absolutely fuming with himself after that one! He gets a thick outside edge and Sean Abbott takes the catch. Cameron Green looks at the sky in delight and celebrates while Jacks looks at the sky and screams in frustration!

    WICKET

    Jacks c Abbott b Green 84 (Eng 167-3)

    Partnership broken - and no century for you, Maccio.

    Jacks steps back to try and cut Cameron Green uppishly over backward point, but doesn't get control of the shot.

    The ball spoons up to Sean Abbott for an easy catch at backward third - Jacks looks furious, while Green screams to the sky in delight.

    Jacks departs for 84 from 83, while the partnership concludes on 156 from 24.2 overs.

    Even Stevens so far. Would love to see Will Jacks get his century and see this through.

    CricViz analyst

    New Zealand's Michael Bracewell is the only player in men's ODI history with both a higher strike rate and higher average than Will Jacks (minimum 10 innings).

  20. Eng 165-2

    Abbott fares better from the rest of the over, a couple of singles and three dot balls to finish.

    Jacks has accelerated past Brook, he's now on 84 to his partner's 69.
