Australia are being bullies at this stage, and England have got absolutely no response to it.

He's in but only by a split second. That's a good bit of fielding. Everything's going Australia's way. He backhanded it and still managed to hit the stumps.

Mitchell Starc's ferocious spell comes to an end but there is no let up. Into the attack comes Pat Cummins and he's going to bowl round the wicket to Overton with leg slip and short leg in place. That short leg shows really good reactions to quickly throw the ball at the stumps as Overton instinctively wanders down the pitch after making contact. The umpires check for the run out but the bat was grounded. Just.

England know what is coming. The tail enders are going to get this all series. The ball bounced at the head. Both Woakes and Overton choose to pull but even the Aussie ground fielding is excellent and the boundary is prevented.

That was a 19 over spell by Nathan Lyon.

Pace from both ends now as Nathan Lyon is replaced by Josh Hazlewood. The right-arm quick has Overton hopping around the crease as yet another bouncer gets up around the grille. Now again that's good from Overton. A little wider and he guides the ball through the gully. Hazlewood isn't impressed. He follows that one with an absolute snorter that flies off the pitch through to Tim Paine.

Just waking up? Dared to poke your head out from under the covers?

In which case, brace yourself: England are collapsing.

Resuming on 29-1 in reply to Australia's 442-8 declared, the tourists have lost six wickets in less than a session and a half.

James Vince edged an ambitious back-foot drive, Joe Root edged an ambitious front-foot drive, Alastair Cook edged a forward defensive and Dawid Malan gloved behind. All were avoidable.

However, the highlights (or lowlights, depending on your nationality) were two sensational return catches, Nathan Lyon diving full length to his left to remove Moeen Ali, and Mitchell Starc showing remarkable reactions and awareness to account for Jonny Bairstow.

The follow-on target of 243 is looking distant.

Like Chris Woakes, Craig Overton has close fielders for company as Mitchell Starc keeps going with this spell of 90mph bowling. Shaun Marsh is the man with the helmet on at short leg and he almost gets a chance as Overton flicks one from his midriff. The ball flies quickly, and hits Marsh before he can react on the shoulder. You can't really call that a drop and Overton gets a single.

A first bad ball of the spell from Starc follows. Short and wide and Woakes does well to cut it to the rope.

I'm an empty vessel. What do you do? Before they left England, I thought they were going to get a walloping, but when I came over here, there was a little bit of enthusiasm. Now, it's gone back to thinking they're going to get a walloping. It's funny how it just slips through your fingers.

Spin at one end, pace at the other. Both look equally as dangerous. Good from Overton. He pushes down the ground to get to the non-striker's end. That's where you want to be but an edged three from Woakes brings Overton back onto strike for the final ball.

The Somerset man tries to steal a single. "Ey you don;t want to be going down that end," says Tim Paine behind the stumps. That made me chuckle.

Sven: What can England do to avoid a whitewash? Bairstow to number five? Plunkett? Rashid? Ballance?

Ben Wire: Wake up, check the cricket, get kicked in the stumps, repeat. England have found some consistency, at least, and there's an odd, despairing comfort in the sense of routine.

Rob Stileman: Can we play the last three Tests back in England?

0.5 seconds was apparently Mitchell Starc's reaction time for that catch. So, so good. The England tail must know what is coming now. Overton gets away in Test cricket with a clip off the hip.

That shot from Bairstow was a little bit on the up. If you're England, you don't know whether to stick or twist. It's a horrible place to be in.

Craig Overton strides out for his first bat in Test match cricket with the Australian crowd as loud as they've been in this match, enthralled by the brilliant fielding since tea.

Wowser. What a welcome to Test batting for Craig Overton. Mitchell Starc whistles one past his ear.

He's punched that back, out of the middle of the bat. Mitchell Starc has got really long arms - he just sort of slung an arm back. That's an absolutely unbelievable catch. Talk about everything going Australia's way. When the gods are with you...

Chris Woakes will do very well to reach 27 in this innings. Nathan Lyon is getting this pink ball to spit off the pitch and in that classic Australian way the close fielders are barking away with their encouragement. That's nice from Woakes. For the first time he uses his feet and dances down the pitch to take a single into the leg side.

Chris Woakes averages 27 from six first class matches this year.

There is a bit of rain predicted for tomorrow. I wonder if that will be in the back of Steve Smith's mind. It could depend on what time of day the wickets fall.

Chris Woakes is stuck in the crease as Starc charges in again with two close fielders waiting for the catch off the bouncer. Starc has got the England number eight in all kinds of trouble, twice beating his outside edge with two cracking deliveries. Woakes nabs a single off the final ball but I'm not sure how he survived that.
