    Hold on to your seats everyone. We are going to see what this pitch and what batting under lights is really like.

    Aus 442-8

    And that is that! Steve Smith calls his men in. What a performance from Shaun Marsh, who leaves the field with an unbeaten 126 to his name.

    England are going to have a horrible period to see out here.

  3. Aus 442-8published at 149 overs

    Just the 14 runs from this over so far. Shaun Marsh pushes a full, wide delivery away, trying to set off for a quick single, but he can't connect with it. Joe Root and Broad combine to fiddle with the field, before they scramble a single off the final ball.

    It's party time for Australia.

    Aus 441-8published at 148.4 overs

    David Warner has got a satisfied grin on his face as Craig Overton, diving on the boundary to try and cut off a ferocious pull from Shaun Marsh, pushes the ball into the ropes. That's four. Overton whacks the turf in annoyance as the crowd jeer. Shot! Broad goes full, and Marsh works the ball through his legs and away for four. And that's six! Straight down the ground! That's the longest boundary on the ground, and Marsh has pummeled that!

    I have just seen Steve Smith say one more over.

  8. 6 runs

    Aus 427-8published at 148 overs

    Marsh 111, Lyon 10

    Shaun Marsh takes a single from the first ball of the over, which means Nathan Lyon has some Craig Overton body bowling to see off. And see it off he does! Six! Oh, Lyon did not have the faintest idea where that ball was. He just swung his arms and got enough of a top edge on it to send it into the crowd. Lyon bursts out laughing, and then grins at Overton as he sends the next ball right across his grille.

    Steve Smith and David Warner are decked out in their whites as they watch on in the dressing room, while Lyon merrily swings another two over Bairstow's head. Lyon then further entertains by jabbing his bat down on a fuller delivery and adding another couple to the total.

    England three down by the close. Won't bat 90 overs, all out for less than 200.

    Oh, ouch! Stuart Broad welcomes Nathan Lyon to the crease by whacking him on the shoulder. That was short from Broad and Lyon had a big heave at it, but he's ended up with nothing but a bruise to show for it. Lyon goes leg side again and swings hard, but he connects with fresh air. In a delicious display of irony, Broad is getting booed by the crowd for bouncing a number 10 batsman. I mean, all credit to Lyon, he's not got a clue where these deliveries are going, but he'll swing at 'em anyway. He spends an over swishing into the Australian night sky before he knocks a full delivery off his stumps.

    I don't think England have bowled well. It was happening for them early on and they still seem to have bowled short. They have tried hard but I think they have got their line and length slightly wrong.

    Overton 32-3-94-3

    Cult hero Nathan Lyon is the new man in, but he can keep out of the way as Shaun Marsh cracks a cut away for two. There's width from Overton, an attempted slower ball maybe, and Marsh swings hard to get it up and over the slips for another boundary. Good intend this from Marsh, as he pushes back down the pitch, but Overton sticks his boot out to cut it off.

    That delivery just seamed back a bit and all Cummins could do was angle his bat and deflect it to fly slip.

    Cummins has done his bit and got Australia up to 400. They're going to have a dart and then come steaming in at England under the lights.

    Cummins c Malan b Overton 44 (Aus 410-8)

    A short ball works!

    It was signposted a mile off by the field, and sure enough, Craig Overton bangs a short ball in to Pat Cummins. Cummins plays it uppishly and it might have just got a touch big on it as he whacks it into Dawid Malan's grateful hands at third man.

    The second session started in similar fashion, if I remember rightly.

    Andrew Bedford: Got the awful feeling that England will be following on sometime in the near future.

  16. Aus 410-7published at 145.1 overs

    It'll be Craig Overton to start the third session off, and Shaun Marsh takes a quick single straight away as the crowd start to filter back in.

    The umpires are meandering back out, followed by a stony faced England. Stuart Broad exchanges a load of high fives with some young mascots as Joe Root leads his side back out.

    The lights are starting to take effect. England's whites are taking on that strangely luminous quality. Here's Shaun Marsh and Pat Cummins. Very much taking their time to get into position.

  18. Postpublished at 08:27 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2017

    Ta, Matt. Right. You're Australia, what do you do? I reckon you keep on going, demoralise England a litle more, and then give them 20 overs or so to see out under the lights.

    England, to my eyes, look and feel like they're on the final day of a long tour. This is the second day of the second Test of a five-match series. Doesn't bode well, does it? Still, we could all be surprised...

  19. Postpublished at 08:27 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2017

    It all feels very down from an England point of view after that. I'm feeling deflated. I wonder how they're feeling in the dressing room?

    Credit to Shaun Marsh, though. He has batted for 219 balls and has 103 not out with 12 fours. And Pat Cummins? Well, he's just getting on England's nerves with bat as well as ball.

    Like the players, I'm off for some food. Here's Amy Lofthouse again.

    Matt Roberts: The perfect laughingly bad end to that session. England embarrassing themselves here.
