    Nine runs needed to win, and we're taking drinks. Cricket.

    If Australia get to 173 or over without losing a wicket it would a record. The previous highest opening partnership in a 10-wicket victory in a successful run chase is 172.

    Australia need 9 to win

    David Warner doesn't half smack a cricket ball. He thumps a drive off Root straight to Alastair Cook, and it makes an almighty thud off the bat. Wow. That is an absolute pie from Joe Root. He's bowled a bouncer - not ideal, as an off spinner - and Bancroft plonks it away for a single. Australia's chase is down into single figures.

  5. Aus 159-0published at 48 overs

    Australia need 11 to win

    Ooft. A bouncer from Ball, Warner turns his head away as he goes to hook, and the ball goes racing away to the boundary. Warner's looking to finish this quickly now as he goes for an uppish cut, and a sprawling Alastair Cook down on the boundary keeps it to two. Another short ball gets pummeled for a single, before Bancroft nudges another couple of runs off his hips. The end is nigh...

    Chris Jones: Woakes & Ball should bowl out to the end of play as an audition for the next Test. This is a day five strip, they should be creating more chances.

  7. Aus 150-0published at 47 overs

    Warner 79, Bancroft 67

    Moeen cut his index finger on the first day of the match while bowling with a relatively new Kookaburra, which might explain why he's not bowling. He also missed two of the warm-up matches with a side strain. That's a nice little hustle from Cameron Bancroft, shuffling down the pitch and working a delivery through the legs of a fielder for another couple. That brings up the 150 partnership between the openers. Has Warner finally found a new mate to open with?

    Is there something amiss with Moeen Ali? Because Joe Root is bowling ahead of him again.

    Joe Root rings in another change: he's bringing himself on.

    It would have been a spectacular catch if Cook had reached it. Though it may have fallen short of him anyway.

    I don't know why England have this defensive ring field right now instead of a second slip in.

  11. Aus 145-0published at 46 overs

    Cameron Bancroft has got nerves of steel. He pushes forward to Jake Ball and gets an inside edge right into his midriff. Not even a flicker. David Warner, meanwhile, is finding things very easy. He's happy to work the singles.

    Oh! Bancroft almost slaps a catch to slip! It's a touch fuller from Jake Ball and Bancroft gets caught in two minds, prodding forward again, and the inside edge just flies past Alastair Cook at slip. Cook dived but it came quickly to him, and low down, to boot.

    The way it's looking England could have set Australia 450 and they would have got them.

    That's a decent bouncer from Chris Woakes, going through to Jonny Bairstow at head height, and Bancroft gets a touch crossed over by the next delivery, forcing a leading edge away. Bancroft readjusts, and gets the meat of the bat on the final delivery.

    Mark Wood has to prove his fitness with the Lions. But if he'd have been bowling flat out and you could bowl him in four-over spells then it would've given England an extra dimension because pace helps.

    Joe Root chats to his bowlers, while Stuart Broad chats to David Warner. I say chat, but you know what I mean. Cameron Bancroft cracks two lovely drives straight to Moeen Ali at mid-off, before Ball serves a half-volley and Bancroft doesn't miss out. A sweetly-timed cover drive goes whizzing down to the boundary rope.

    Chris Woakes' lack of Test cricket this year is showing. It's so easy for David Warner to nudge another non-threatening delivery away for a single, while Bancroft tucks himself behind a series of deliveries that he can just tap away. The England fans are in tremendous form this morning, as their voices echo off the largely vacant stands at the Gabba.

    None of the bowlers have caused any problems, which is disappointing because we're going to get quite a few good pitches like this on the tour.

    Jake Ball serves up a wide first ball, as he goes for a bouncer that goes way over David Warner's head. Ball readjusts and tempts Warner into a pull, but the Australia opener ends up groping at thin air. Another sedate single brings Bancroft on strike, and Ball thwacks him high on the pad to stop him nurdling another.

    David Warner and Shaun Marsh's adorable kids are playing in the stands. Mini-Marsh is clutching on to a little bat and ball.

    It's a double change for England, with Jake Ball brought into the attack.
