Andrew Reyes: At least England know one thing now... Dawid Malan is equipped for test cricket. This guy can play.

Am I expecting much for Christmas? Lunch from Michael Vaughan.

Mitch Starc pushes a few deliveries away from Chris Woakes before at toe-crunching yorker comes Woakes' way, and he gets enough bat on it to stop his feet and his stumps from getting a nasty surprise.

Solid defence from Woakes. Starc, walking like he's on hot coals, wanders back down to fine leg.

Double change for Steve Smith, with Mitch Starc back into the attack.

I'm not surprised about the form of Dawid Malan, he doesn't try to play too many shots. He has blossomed.

England have a small chance of surviving while he is batting. Our tail has been blown away so many times, but they will gain encouragement if they have a proper batsman sealing up one end.

I would expect Australia to win unless it rains.

Josh Hazlewood is back to try and hustle Dawid Malan out. He very nearly manages it too as Malan tries a cheeky late cut and ends up thrashing at thin air.

Hazlewood tests him out with a couple of short balls and Malan, sensibly, ignores them. That's a maiden. We've got tea in 45 minutes, and 49 overs left in the day.

England seem to have found a properly decent number five in Dawid Malan. He's been impressive here. A single brings Chris Woakes on strike, and he promptly swats the ball past the slip and away through third man for a boundary.

Geoffrey, meanwhile, has just compared Tim Paine to "a gramophone record" because of his constant noise. Niche.

It's astonishing how bad that last tour was.

Dawid Malan has now got 300 runs in the series - that's more than any England batsman got in the last Ashes tour in 2013-14. The top scorer on that occasion was Kevin Pietersen, who hit 294.

Dawid Malan's going to have a lovely purple bruise on his hip as Pat Cummins rolls his fingers on a leg cutter and whacks him as he shapes to pull. He's got enough awareness to jog a bye, though.

Chris Woakes sees off a few deliveries and then tries to take the single Australia have offered him, but Malan says no.

The second half-century off the match for Dawid Malan!

He pulls a short ball to the boundary, and then raises the bat to an appreciative crowd. It's been a really confident innings from Malan so far. Patient and calm. He's got to shepherd the tail here, though.

The big thing is that there has only been one ball to a right-hander which has misbehaved - Bairstow played down the wrong line anyway - and apart from that we have had two left-handers, which has taken the damp area out of it.

I still find it remarkable that England were 368-4 and are now staring at an innings defeat. How's that happened?

Nathan Lyon twirls through another over at Dawid Malan who - and say it quietly - looks pretty comfortable out there. He pushes a flatter delivery away for a single to keep the strike for the next Cummins over.

Nathan Lyon has now taken 60 wickets in 2017 in 10 Tests. He's the leading wicket-taker this year.

There's some swing from Pat Cummins but Chris Woakes plants his foot froward and drives for three. A good bit of work from Nathan Lyon stops it rolling for four.

Cummins then says hello to Dawid Malan with a friendly bouncer that whizzes past his nose, before the ball trickles off his pad and away for a bye.

I'm sorry, Jon. Myself and Tom have ruined many people's mornings as this series has gone on.

Pat Cummins is going to have a bowl to new man Chris Woakes.

Moeen was playing for turn there. When, er, there isn't any. DRS shows it was hitting leg stump.

Time for drinks, and maybe a rain dance or two.

You can see why he didn't refer that, Moeen was absolutely dead. But it's such an important wicket for England I'm surprised that he didn't. In the match situation you'd have a dash at a review.
