    England have got a chance. If they get a couple early, there's an opportunity to put some pressure on. However, for England to have a sniff, they need to get rid of David Warner early.

    Outside the off stump goes Anderson, and Cameron Bancroft plonks his hands high above his head.

    Here we go. James Anderson has picked which Kookaburra he wants. England are having a last minute huddle, led by Joe Root, who looks fairly animated and serious for a normally chirpy sort of bloke.

    Should Australia pull this off, it will be the fourth highest successful run chase at the Gabba. David Warner and Cameron Bancroft are out in the middle. Let's go...

  4. If you're just waking up...published at 05:05 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2017

    If you've just been woken up by a flurry of alerts on your phone then, hi! The headline is, Australia need 170 to win this first Test and go 1-0 up in the series.

    England have been bowled out for 195, with Joe Root top-scoring with 51. He promptly got out the next ball after.

    There are starts all down the scorecard for England, but no-one went on and did a Steve Smith, and the tail crumbled in the face of the quicks.

    Cheers, Jack.

    I have an ominous feeling about this. No-one loves a bit of second innings bullying the way David Warner does. That was a terrible end by England, though. This is destined to be a Test of what if's for them.

    Right, well that was certainly a fair bit of excitement for 5am. What a Test.

    I'm off for a bit, but Amy Lofthouse is here for the start of the final innings at the Gabba...

    I was slightly disappointed with Jonny Bairstow. He must have seen the fella at fly slip. When you've got bowlers at that pace, fly slip or third man becomes a wicket-taking position, and Bairstow's guided it straight to him.

    There are 34 overs after tea, plus eight if they take the extra half hour. It gets dark, though.

    Not 10 balls ago in this match, it seemed like Bairstow and Broad would negotiate England through to tea and try to grab a lead of at least 200 in the evening session.

    What a spell from Starc and Cummins to ruin that plan. The Aussie quicks haven't looked at their best but they are fearsome against the tail.

    That said, Bairstow fell into a clear trap to precipitate the downfall. England had some promising moments in that second session but really undid all their good work at the end.

    Can Australia wrap this up before the close? Can't see it happening but this Test has had plenty of surprises.

  11. Tea - Australia need 170 to win the first Testpublished at 04:55 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2017

    I say England's last five wickets fell for 86 runs, but it's perhaps just as key to point out the last four fell for 10 and the last three for just one in 10 balls.

    Australia's fast bowlers backing up their reputation for clearing up the tail with little fuss.

    It's put the hosts squarely on top, after some gritty moments from England in patches today.

    Joe Root stares glumly from the dressing room.

    England will be disappointed with themselves again. They got themselves into decent positions, again. There are positives there. They just didn't quite kick on. It's a bit like the whole Test match.

    That was the fourth short ball of the over. There's an issue there about whether the umpires should have allowed that or not.

    Resistance was only going to be futile against a firing Starc and Cummins and it's the latter who quickly ends England's innings.

    Steve Smith brings in Peter Hanscomb as a fly slip and it's another captaincy masterstroke as Pat Cummins fires in a well-directed bumper and Jake Ball guides it straight up, with Handscomb claiming the catch.

    Australia need 170 runs to win the first Test. England lost their last five wickets for 86 runs.

    No tea break yet with England nine down.

    On we go, Jake Ball and James Anderson set to face a barrage from Mitchell Starc and the returning Pat Cummins.

    I thought Broad missed that by a mile! I thought it was his foot movement that had caused the spike. And the bowler didn't go up! We're done here, Jon.

    Agnew: That's cheerful of you, Tuffers.

  18. Eng 195-9published at 71 overs

    Starc goes at Anderson's midriff but the England bowler stands tall to fend it off.

    And breathe. What a response from Starc, who looked more like going off the field injured than nipping out two crucial wickets in the same over not that long ago.

    That was very strange. The mark on Hotspot was there before the ball went past, I'm quite sure of that. But there was a spike on Snicko.

    A strange dismissal but it is indeed out. Starc flung down the yorker, Broad played at it and Paine was very keen behind the stumps, even though Starc didn't appeal.

    Paine is once again proven right though. Didn't seem to be any deflection off the bat in real time but a faint mark and snicko does for Broad.

    Can James Anderson survive the final ball?
