The match was neck and neck for three days and even first thing this morning. Although that last hour yesterday gave Australia the initiative.

It's important for England to finish strongly. They can't just go through the motions. Their body language is poor and there's no energy - not good signs. They should be trying to grab a couple of wickets at least.

Joe Root twirls away but David Warner is in fine fettle, deftly guiding it away past backwards point and to the fence.

An inside edge onto the pads briefly animates the England fielders, who have otherwise been disappointingly flat in this innings.

Thanks Amy. If you've just got up - the headline is Australia are coasting to victory and a 1-0 lead in the Ashes.

Exactly what you feared when you went to sleep last night? There were promising moments for England today - Joe Root batted well before falling lbw to Josh Hazlewood.

Moeen Ali also stood tall until he was controversially given out stumped off Nathan Lyon - no part of his boot was clearly behind the line but it wasn't clearly out either.

Jonny Bairstow then fell into a trap and sliced to third man before Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc blitzed out the tail.

Australia set 170 to win and David Warner and Cameron Bancroft are taking them there comfortably right now...

Jake Ball is back on for a spell - he's conceded just one run from his two over spell thus far. David Warner shouts "no run!" so loudly that I suspect you could hear it from Row Z on the very top tier. He tucks his head in and blocks, before hustling a delivery off his hip for a single. Ball then gets a delivery to move in to Bancroft and a thick inside edge from Cameron Bancroft helps the ball reach the fine leg boundary.

And with that, I'll leave Jack Skelton to guide you through the final eight overs of the day.

England needed Moeen to fire today but he just hasn't got the same type of turn Nathan Lyon got.

Joe Root's carrying on, as the shadows start to lengthen on the Gabba pitch. Cameron Bancroft blocks delivery after delivery and Root's frustration shows as he lobs the ball back to Jonny Bairstow, before furiously jabbing his arm down at the ground.

Overpitched from Woakes, and Bancroft dinks the ball off his toes for a lazy two. He fends a short ball away easily, before a lovely cover drive sees him add another couple to the total. This is such a flat end to what has been an engrossing Test match. Even the Australian crowd aren't that noisy, and they only need 92 runs to win!

England started the day leading by seven runs with eight wickets remaining - Joe Root and Mark Stoneman starting to accumulate nicely against a slightly flat Australia in a half-full Gabba.

Enter Nathan Lyon, the off-spinner having Stoneman and Dawid Malan caught at first slip to leave England on 74-4.

But Root fought on with Moeen Ali and the England captain passed 50, only to fall lbw next ball to Josh Hazlewood.

Another fightback from Jonny Bairstow and Moeen, before the latter was given out stumped in a very tight call, opinions differing on whether any part of his foot was back behind the line or not.

Bairstow then fell slicing to third man and Australia ripped through the tail to bowl England out for 195 and set them 170 to win. And it's been largely serene progress for David Warner and Cameron Bancroft since...

Oh, and Cameron Bancroft offers up a half chance to Root's second ball! He takes a wander down the wicket and tries to work the ball off his pads, and the ball drops just short of Stoneman at short leg. Bancroft blinks, and then works a leggy delivery away for three, thanks to David Warner's speedy running and Jake Ball going down in installments as he tried to stop the ball. Australia now need less than 100 to win.

Joe Root's bringing himself on, because why not?

Douglas Elder: For all the talk of England’s ‘stronger’ lower order, their last three wickets contributed 55 runs in this test (both innings) Australia’s contributed 119. That’ll be the difference.

That's four. This isn't great from Woakes, I'm sorry to say. It's too short and Warner can use that short arm jab - the one that he got out with in the first innings - to pummel the ball to the boundary. England are tired, and it shows as two fielders on the edge of the circle leave the ball to each other to field, and Warner can turn a quick single into a leisurely two. Woakes gives Dawid Malan, the unfortunate fielder, an earful.

Whatever happens in this Test, England can take plenty of positives for the rest of the series.

They may want to have a tinker with their lower order, though. Jake Ball hasn't had the best game with the ball and bat so they might want to have a look at Craig Overton.

The scoreboard is currently displaying what each side needs to win. Australia: 106 runs. England: 10 wickets. England are having the mick taken out of them by a giant electronic scoreboard. Cameron Bancroft, meanwhile, is content to shoulder arms and let some off stump deliveries from Jake Ball go harmlessly though to Jonny Bairstow. That's a rare maiden from England.

Adam Ogden: Eventually found a hostel in Kathmandu with a projector to watch the cricket. Only problem is that the sun is so bright I'm spending more time trying to convince people I'm not just staring at a white wall. Although at this rate maybe a blank wall would be preferable.

Ooh. Warner goes for the booming drive and ends up groping fresh air as he completely misses a Woakes delivery. In his head, that was going out of the ground. In reality, the ball is nestling safely in Jonny Bairstow's gloves.

Mind you... he's got hold of that. It's too short from Woakes, sitting up nicely for Warner, and he jabs it away for four. Steve Smtih is having a right old chuckle to himself in the dressing room. He looks like the cat that got the cream, and rightly so.

This is a really disappointing end to a game that has otherwise been tight all the way through.

Warner, who fell to Ball in the first innings, slaps another cut away, before Bancroft disdainfully ignores a bouncer that goes trailing down leg. Two deliveries jag nicely over the stumps as Ball goes a little fuller, before a short ball keeps Bancroft circumspect. Just the one from that over.

Moeen's out of the attack after his four overs cost 23 runs. Here's Jake Ball.
