    Paine c Moeen b Overton 57 (Aus 294-6)

    Craig Overton is in to pepper Tim Paine with some short balls. Oh, and it's worked! Paine is out!

    There was some loose stuff in there from Overton but Paine chased a flatter delivery, and it went quickly to Moeen Ali on the fence. Moeen steadied himself well to snaffle the ball up, and Paine has to depart!

    That's a fine innings from the Australia keeper, though, especially after the blows to his dodgy finger.

  4. Aus 290-5published at 107 overs

    Marsh 41, Paine 53

    Shaun Marsh cuts Moeen for another leisurely single, before Joe Root sticks some men out on the boundary for Tim Paine. Some more width from Moeen is welcomed by Paine, who gets a thick outside edge on a booming drive, and it's only Craig Overton's determination that stops the ball getting to the ropes. Marsh prods his way through the remainder of the over.

    Tim Paine has made three half-centuries in first-class cricket since 2014. They have all come in the past month and two of them have been against England.

  6. Aus 286-5published at 106 overs

    Chris Woakes races through the rest of his over, and Tim Paine is more than happy to block it out. It's Paine's first Test 50 since October 2010.

    Aus 286-5

    My colleague has just turned to me and said Paine is "Haddin-ing England." He's on the offensive once again as he drives down the ground nicely to bring up his half-century. There's a warm round of applause for Adelaide as Paine raises his bat towards the dressing room. He's brought his 50 up from 91 deliveries, and it's been a thoroughly entertaining knock so far.

    Marsh 39, Paine 48

    Down the leg side goes Moeen, thanks to a bit of extra turn, and neither keeper or slip can get hold of it. The ball trickles away for a couple of byes before Paine stays on his stumps and defends the ball back down to Moeen. Joe Root's looking a little troubled by proceedings at the minute. He's looking even more troubled now - six! That's an almighty wack from Paine! He picks up the ball and, with a flowing swing of the arms, hoists it into the stands.

    If Australia can keep batting until just before dusk and then England can go out and have 25 and 30 overs in darkness, that will be nasty.

    Marsh 39, Paine 41

    A half-yelp from the slips as Shaun Marsh inside edges onto his thigh, before James Anderson goes tumbling to the turf to stop Marsh working a boundary through mid-on. Broad's got hold of the ball and is a bit grumpy about it, which amuses Tim Paine, who also has a look at it from his position at the non striker's end. Out comes the ball measuring device, and, er, it goes through fine. Shaun Marsh, meanwhile, has splintered his bat. Not that it's distracted him, as he thumps a Chris Woakes half volley through Broad at cover for a boundary.

    Most Aussie stadiums are massive, but is there anything as high as the top of the Riverbank Stand at the City End of the Adelaide Oval? I'd love to know how far away the middle is. I think I can see my house from up here.

  13. Aus 271-5published at 103 overs

    Moeen, sensing that Shaun Marsh wants to get a shuffle on, fires the ball in quicker and straighter, and it keeps Marsh watchful to start the over. A little dance down the pitch allows Marsh to turn his wrists and flick the ball past short leg for a single. Meanwhile, Gary Ballance is having a hit, aided in the nets by Paul Collingwood and Mark Ramprakash. There's two pretty decent net bowlers for you to be facing.

    Looking at the way the pitch is playing, anything over 250 is a bonus.

    The ball is moving more than yesterday. Today there has been a lot of play and misses and if England were a fraction fuller they could turn those into edges.

    Woakes 18-3-57-1

    A bouncer from Chris Woakes, and it's summarily wided as it goes a yard above Tim Paine's head. Paine goes for another sharp single and this time Marsh is quick to respond, before Marsh shoulders arms and ends up getting struck on the hip. It just feels like things have moved back under Australia's control, after the tussle of the past hour or so. And Marsh underlines that with an easy drive that brings about three runs.

    Moeen doesn't look like he is going to get anyone out and that is quite worrying. He has usually had a knack of sneaking a wicket but he hasn't looked like getting anyone out.

  17. Aus 265-5published at 101 overs

    Marsh 31, Paine 41

    Shot! That's too wide again from Moeen and Tim Paine carves it over extra cover and away for a boundary. Dearie me, he threw the kitchen sink at that. Moeen readjusts, bowling a few straighter deliveries, and Paine defends, and he's quick to yank his right hand off the bat to avoid any further discomfort. A shuffle back in the crease brings about another single for Paine.

    The really good balls England have bowled haven't got anything. I thought on occasions yesterday England could have got a little bit more.

  19. Aus 260-5published at 100 overs

    Tim Paine, who had some painkillers during the drinks break, ignores Chris Woakes' first two deliveries before pushing the third firmly away from his pads. Another drop and run keeps the score ticking over, while Marsh cuts a wide delivery firmly towards a fielder. That was a rather more sedate over, given the excitement of the last couple.

    England definitely deserve more. They have bowled quite well.
