    What we've seen from Livingstone there is truly special striking. England have a lot to work with, it's going to be the job of the seamers to make some in-roads with the new ball.

  2. 6 runs

    Eng 308-5

    And another!

    Liam Livingstone is on the pull and Mitchell Starc is dismissively swatted into the Tavern Stand by the England batter.

    That's gone into the confectionary stalls, and out again.

  3. 50 runs

    Fifty for Livingstone

    A full toss from Mitchell Starc and he's clubbed back down the ground by Liam Livingstone.

    Another six! 300 up and fifty for Livingstone off 25 balls.

  4. 6 runs

    Eng 296-5

    Mitchell Starc strays on to the pads of Liam Livingstone, who whips the Aussie quick into the Mound Stand for six.

  5. Eng 290-5

    Slower ball from Mitchell Starc. Dot.

  6. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Sounds

    Livingstone backed himself, staying in his crease. He moves across really well, which allows him to create that arc.

  7. 6 runs

    Eng 290-5

    Wallop! Liam Livingstone smashes Mitchell Starc back over his head for six.

    That was a big 'un. 300 could still be on here.

  8. Eng 284-5

    Liam Livingstone pings Josh Hazlewood down the ground for four.

    A couple of balls later he swats it away to keep the strike for the final over which will be bowled by Mitchell Starc.

  9. Ebony Rainford-Brent

    It's not quite working for Bethell, and in those circumstances you need to get off strike or look for the smart shot for two. There's no point scratching around, the last thing they want is a dot ball.

  10. Eng 279-5

    A Jacob Bethell leg bye gets Liam Livingstone back on strike.

    Some more of this would be quite handy:

  11. Bethell survives

    There's nowt on it.

    Dot ball, though. Jacob Bethell is 12 from 18 balls.

  12. Australia review

    Two overs to go and Josh Hazlewood will bowl the first of them.

    Jacob Bethell attempts to reverse scoop the Aussie seamer and Josh Inglis thinks this might have some glove on it.

  13. Eng 278-5

    Fair to say Jamie Smith's innings had a bit of everything.

  14. 6 runs

    Eng 276-5

    Liam Livingstone's eyes light up again.

    Mitchell Starc is fractionally wider outside off stump but Livingstone picks up the length quickly and hammers another six down the ground into the stands.

  15. Eng 269-5

    Liam Livingstone is struck on the grill of his helmet attempting to pull a bumper from the penultimate ball of Josh Hazlewood's seventh over. We have a mandatory concussion check. All good.

  16. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Sounds

    Livingstone's shots that he picks up on the leg side are extraordinary, just the power and the bat speed. You almost think what's the point of the fielders.

  17. 6 runs

    Eng 266-5

    Liam Livingstone gets one full in the slot from Josh Hazlewood and ruthlessly mullers it over cow corner for six. Power and timing.

  18. Eng 260-5

    Jacob Bethell, a tuft of peroxide blond hair peeping out from the back of his helmet, swivels for pull Josh Hazlewood but cannot generate the power needed.

    Here's how Harry Brook perished a short while ago. A brilliant knock from the stand-in England skipper.

  19. 6 runs

    Eng 258-5

    Wowzers! Jacob Bethell was drilling the ball to the fielders, and largely struggling to get it Adam Zampa off the square.

    All of a sudden to Zampa's fourth ball Bethell casually pulls out a reverse sweep and whips it over the boundary for six!

  20. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Sounds

    I think they've done a good job of setting a platform, given the state of the pitch and the early conditions. It could have been a 250 all out job. This finish is crucial, though.
