The last eight overs have yielded nine runs for Australia, and they've lost a wicket, too. England have had some excellent discipline. It's a change of ends for Moeen, as he replaces Anderson.

Time for a bowling change for England - here's Stuart Broad. He bowls slightly shorter than Anderson but Smith still can't get bat to it, the ball moving in and then nipping past his stumps. There's a grin between batsman and bowler as Smith steps forward, looking to work the ball off his pads, and ends up leaving it to go through to Bairstow. Smith finally gets a bit of something to work with, as he flicks a delivery off his hips for a single.

Good morning! Want a run down of what's gone off today? You're in the right place...

England, resuming on 196-4, started steadily as Australia came out looking flat. Dawid Malan reached his half-century but a collapse was just around the corner.

Some late biffing from Stuart Broad saw England post 302, but that was after a spell that saw them lose their final six wickets for 56 runs.

Australia, in response, have faltered. Some fine bowling from England first up, including having opener Cameron Bancroft dismissed for 9, saw them trip to 76-4.

James Anderson has got Shaun Marsh's off stump in his sights. He gets another one to swing past Steve Smith's bat, the Australia captain groping at fresh air. Smith finally breaks the deadlock with a leisurely single through the covers, while Root crams as many fielders as he can into the off side. Anderson goes full, looking for the same delivery that did for Peter Handscomb, and Marsh prods them away.

Shaun Marsh is playing very carefully against Moeen. Bat and pad are close together, his leg thrust forward, just tapping the ball towards short leg. He pushes the ball down the field and that'll be yet another maiden.

I kid you not. One England fan in front of me has just returned from the bar with a beer in a Gloucestershire CCC pot. You have to some real affection for that to bring it to the other side of the world and ask the local bar staff to fill it for you.

There's something almost hypnotic about Steve Smith at the crease. It's so awkward. All arms and legs and your eyes are never really sure where to look, but it's enthralling. Anderson keeps on with England's plan of going straight to Smith, mixing his speeds up all the time, and Smith plonks the ball off his pads carefully. Smith looks irritated as he gets a full bunger from Anderson and he flicks it straight to the waiting fielder. Maiden.

Now then. Shaun Marsh is going to face Moeen Ali. He's an inauspicious starter so it'll be interesting to see how he goes here. He plonks his foot down the wicket, bat and pad glued together, as Moeen drifts a few deliveries into him. Root, the sole slip, looks deep in thought, and then ends up flailing to his left as Marsh guides a delivery away from him. Glenn Maxwell, meanwhile, has just brought up his 150 for Victoria against New South Wales.

Shot! That's nice from Marsh. He shoulders arms to Anderson's first few deliveries before cracking a full, wide delivery through the covers and into the boundary rope. He's already made his best score in an Ashes series - he played one Test on the 2015 tour, and that was that game at Trent Bridge where no Australian batsman covered themselves in glory. Anderson packs the off side field and then bowls a lovely, teasing delivery that Marsh can't help but have a flirt at.

Australian stadiums are vast, circular beasts with circular concourses that go on for days. When you're not in your seat, you're surrounded by concrete that keeps the sound inside. Moving around during tea, it's deafening.

Steve Smith, fidgeting all over the show, takes guard to Moeen. He's got Bairstow in his ear, a slip and a short leg as Moeen gets one to straighten and drift past Smith's outside edge. You can hear the England fans willing the team on from the stands. Incidentally, looking at the replay of the last wicket, I have no idea how that wasn't given out straight away. It just looked out. A tight maiden from Moeen, which means Marsh will have an over of Anderson to contend with.

I've suddenly woken up a bit. Shaun Marsh has arrived at the crease and Joe Root has brought Moeen Ali straight back into the attack.

Here's Shaun Marsh, who is not a good starter. And the first delivery from Anderson is a belter, a hint of away swing taking the ball past Marsh's loose push forwards. A wicket maiden first up.

That's a poor decision - it had to be out. He was so leaden-footed and it was always cannoning into leg stump once it hit his pads.

Oh, that is out. That is so very out.
