That's a drinks break, on the pitch and for you all as well. That's an order.

Tea, coffee, something stronger. It's the middle of the night and it's Christmas.

Even great players make mistakes. It's kept low.

I did get a wicket once by hitting a guy on the shoulder - Sachin Tendulkar! He ducked low, almost sitting on the ground, and got hit and given out lbw.

One wicket a month, that's all we ask. It was a decent enough delivery, getting a bit of turn. But it was a poor shot. Shaun Marsh will be kicking himself.

Oof! Hello! Is the pitch coming into the game? Craig Overton gets one to rear up and Steve Smith for once looks uncomfortable, not reading it well and wearing it on the shoulder. Ouch indeed.

Next ball he picks up four through third man. Textbook. He hooks at the next short one too, not 100% convincingly either.

England needed something to turn for them. They're still 150, 160 runs in front. There's still a long way to go in this Test.

Geoffrey Boycott tells me England shouldn't be scared of new batsman Mitch Marsh. That's good enough for me.

Who is the best batsman in the Marsh household? Moeen Ali may find out.

That was a misjudgment by Shaun Marsh. He didn't really need to play at that.

Can Mark Stoneman bowl? Get him on. It's worth trying anyone.

That's loose as owt from Moeen Ali, halfway down the pitch at no speed at all and Shaun Marsh carts him away for four. And again! Painful viewing.

Moeen is coming on to bowl. A catch on the fence maybe?

Matt Jones: Seeing little evidence that Joe Root as captain can inspire a team in tough moments. They look flat as in the field. The burden on captain too much?

It's more than just the bowlers. It's the whole field - the intensity, the attitude. When Australia have got on top, England's intensity has dissipated. They wait for Australia to make a mistake.

Craig Overton gets the ball to move once past the batsman, Jonny Bairstow has to dance to his left to take it.

As crumbs of comfort go that's not much but it's all I've got. He moves it back the other way now, into the pads but high. No real appeal.

A good over though to Shaun Marsh.

Another reminder that England still lead by 164. You'd think they were 400 behind given the current mood.

England have been very flat this morning. They've not beaten the bat. They've looked almost defeated in the field. It's been a gloomy start.

England have got all sorts of plans but they're not bowling well enough to those plans.

Glenn McGrath is an expert on reading the body language of demoralised English cricketers. He can probably still depress Nasser Hussain from 100 yards.

England are trying out there, I'd never suggest otherwise. They just have nothing in the locker with this ball on this pitch. It's making for a pretty dull morning for England fans.

Where's that rain?!

England needed to start strong and keep the pressure up. You saw in England's first innings that once that partnership is broken, you can get quick wickets. If they're starting to resign themselves already, it's a bit off.
