    Rain stops play

    Aus 165-2

    Well, "a few overs" was optimistic.

    Smith gets hold of an Adil Rashid drag-down and dispatches the ball to the square leg ropes.

    That may prove to be the last boundary of the match, as moments later the umpires take the players off, with the rain arriving to tear across the ground.

    Four balls after a result became possible, England are walking off way behind the DLS par score.

    That's 20 overs completed, which means this is a game of cricket that will have a result. This series, which is currently 2-2, will finish 3-2 in favour of someone and currently, it's Australia who are very much in the driving seat.

  3. Thanks Ffion.

    For "expertly guide", please read "take you through a few overs before the rain utterly wipes this one out."

  4. Aus 158-2

    Target 310

    We will have a winner.

    Australia are miles ahead - the DLS par score with two wickets down is 113.

    England tried a couple of tricks to delay proceedings, but the rain has stayed away for now and that's my cue to pass you back to Mike Peter, who will expertly steer you through the concluding stages of this game.

  5. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Josh Inglis looks very comfortable on the back foot. It's a wonderful shot and puts Brydon Carse under pressure.

  6. 6 runs

    Aus 157-2

    It doesn't matter, because Australia have reached 157.

    Josh Inglis top-edges for six more.

  7. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    If England were to get two wickets in this over, the DLS par score for Australia will rise to 157!

  8. 6 runs

    Aus 151-2

    It's Brydon Carse to bowl.

    And he's launched into the stands by Josh Inglis as he offers up some short stuff.

    A convenient tactical discussion follows between bowler, captain and about three fielders...

  9. Aus 144-2

    Target 310

    Carved for four by Josh Inglis, as Olly Stone lets out a cry of anguish as that wasn't too far away from being caught at backward point.

    But Inglis ends the over with four more, much more comfortably, pushed through the covers.

    One over away. Don't be surprised if Matthew Potts shortly decides that he needs a new pair of socks.

  10. Aus 133-2

    Eventually, Potts completes his over.

    Two to get through. I suggest Harry Brook will bowl his seamers so that they take as long as possible.

    This delay might give Australia the moral victory either way.

  12. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Matthew Potts is calling for new boots now and the umpire is looking at him with a degree of displeasure. This is nonsense!

  13. Aus 133-2

    England's Liam Livingstone holds Matthew Potts shoe in the airReuters

    Matthew Potts has some very conveniently-timed issues with the strapping on his foot. He takes his time to readjust his socks and calls for a change of spikes.

    The umpires are unimpressed. The Australians are less impressed.

    Yeah, this isn't a good look I'm afraid.

  14. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Why would you do this? You are kidding me! We have the ground staff ringing the boundary waiting to drag the covers on and threatening overhead skies, and we've got the three umpires having a chat while the players are having drinks on a nine-degree day in Bristol.

  15. Aus 132-2

    How often do we say that cricket doesn't help itself?

    We need three more overs for a result, and play is stopped for a drinks' break.

    Sigh.

  16. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    The flags are fluttering and the trees likewise. The ground staff are coming around. Can we get through to 20 overs?

  17. 6 runs

    Aus 125-2

    There's a bit of drizzle in the air. We've got a race against time!

    And Steve Smith flicks a majestic six off his pads.

  18. If we do get these four overs in, Australia's dominant position has been set up by Matt Short's brutal half-century at the top of the order.

  19. Aus 125-2

    Target 310

    Just a couple of singles worked off another neat over from Adil Rashid.

    The leg-spinner is bowling beautifully but he's getting through his overs so quickly because Australia aren't attacking him. So, we're just four overs away now from having a definite result.

    Harry Brook has just left the field. Off to get the DLS sheets?
