    England have to be positive at times. They have runs on the board but 200 is a nice, round number. Anything over 200 and you feel better than better. The two things against England at the moment is the pitch quickening up and the outfield running quicker.

    Repainting/trolling over and play can resume. Hazlewood tests Woakes with a couple of short ones but the number eight rides the bounce well.

    Shot! That'll help settle the nerves, Woakes leaning into a full ball, flicking the wrists and finding the fence with a lovely on-drive.

    That stumping - if Australia were batting, it would still be out.

    Dan Norcross: If Australia were batting, then the line at the crease would be thinner!

    And that flurry of excitement is the final action before drinks.

    Well-earned refreshment for both sides.

    Actually two appeals and both times not out. Lyon spins it into Bairstow's pads, England's keeper briefly trapping the ball between bat and pad. It was pad first but going down.

    Lyon then sends it on with the arm and finds the pad again but that was further down leg.

    Umpire Erasmus not interested.

    Jack Barraclough‏: Watching Aussie feed of the cricket online in the US and following TMS on BBC Sport. Even the Aussie commentators disagree with the Moeen decision.

    Carl Carritt: If Aggers says it was out, then that’s good enough for me. Well played Moeen. Important runs.

    Bairstow 25, Woakes 1

    Hazlewood tears in to Woakes, beating the bat outside off as the Aussie slips cordon yelp with excitement.

    The number eight avoids a short ball well before wisely leaving a wide one.

    Eek, Hazlewood gets one to rear up off the pitch to find the edge but it falls straight down.

    The crease gets repainted numerous times during the match. In this case, the repainting has caused the line to become wider (you can tell because the ends that have not been repainted are thinner). Therefore, Moeen had to be further back to be behind the line (rather than on it) and the keeper has more leeway.

    Woakes flicks off his pads round the corner to get off the mark. Huge relief.

    Bairstow survives more venom from Lyon to end the over.

    It's very, very tough. Not even really a chance but Woakes flicks Lyon towards Cameron Bancroft under the helmet at short leg, in but out again.

    Morg: That is a disgraceful decision if you can’t be sure it’s not out !! Lost for words

    Stu Harman‏: That's a shocking decision. Inconclusive = benefit of the doubt.

    Bairstow negotiates Hazlewood well, nabbing a single off the fourth ball to give Woakes one to face.

    And he leaves well outside off.

    Big debate in the office, in commentary and on social media as to whether Moeen Ali should've been given out there.

    Two angles suggesting different things, but no part of the boot definitely behind the line. Not definitely all on the line either. Should Moeen have been given the benefit of the doubt?

  15. Postpublished at 03:28 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2017

    Bairstow once again will have to marshal the tail but everyone has to contribute here.

    Another 100 runs and England have a chance, however slight. A collapse and it will take a miracle.

    Woakes survives. Nervously. The Warwickshire man looks to be proactive, going at Lyon but the off-spinner replies with another fizzer that has Paine whipping off the bails again.

    Woakes was most certainly in his crease, though. Great cricket.

    Chris Woakes the new man in. What is he made of?

    Tim Paine has just justified his call-up. The Gabba is delirious. On such moments do Tests turn.

    I don't think I've ever seen a tighter one than that. It was a hairline. I think it's the right decision but it was the tightest margin.
