  1. Eng 160-8

    Curran 10, Anderson 0

    Curran ducks under the last from Starc.

    Cummins v Anderson to resume from the other end.

  2. Eng 160-8

    Starc responds by getting one to keep low and rap the pads. Big appeal but nothing doing. Pitched outside leg stump.

    Starc laughs and shrugs and goes again...

  3. Eng 160-8

    Fair play, Tom Curran. The number eight once again punishes a wide one from Starc, slashing it square to the fence.

  4. "You take Starc, Tom, and I'll deal with Cummins."

    Thoughts with Curran and Anderson out in the middle.

    Here goes Starc again...

  5. Eng 156-8

    Trail by 147

    Short, quick, vicious stuff from Cummins.

    Somehow Anderson makes it through the over with a combo of frantic ducks, weaves and missed fends.

    Pat Cummins hasn't got a five-for in this series...

  7. Eng 156-8

    Jeez. Cummins bangs it in down the corridor outside off and Anderson fends at it, lucky not to edge it through to the keeper.

    Chris Barltrop: Whatever happened to the rule of two bouncers per over?

  9. Still no Joe Root so James Anderson enters the fray...

    Pat Cummins is such a tremendous, hostile bowler.

    WICKET

    Crane c Paine b Cummins 2 (Eng 156-8)

    The third umpire barely needs to look at the replay, it's a very easy decision to back up the on-field umpire and give Crane out.

    It's an absolute howitzer of a bouncer that does for Crane, who doesn't drop his hands, fending at it and it flicks his thumb on the way through to Tim Paine.

  12. It's hit Crane's thumb. He's going to be gone shortly...

    I like that. There's one review left in the tank - why not?

  14. England review

    Another tremendous short ball from Pat Cummins that flicks off some part of Mason Crane and through to Tim Paine.

    Given out but Crane reviews. Was that glove or shoulder?

  15. Dan Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    England battled manfully in that first session but Pat Cummins was the difference. Stuart Broad is a tall man and Cummins got the ball up to his shoulder. England haven't done that all series.

  16. Eng 156-7

    Curran 6, Crane 2

    Curran swivels away a short-ish delivery slightly unconvincingly but gets two for it.

    That doesn't please Starc, who responds with a scorching yorker that Curran does very well to jam his bat on and prevent it rolling on to the stumps.

    The last is full again but Curran defends it superbly with a straight bat.

  17. Eng 154-7

    Trail by 149

    Shot! Starc can't swing the third ball into Curran, it hangs out there and the number eight clatters it away to the fence. Lovely stuff.

  18. Dan Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Mason Crane will be delighted with that. He's got off strike!

  19. Eng 150-7

    Starc's first ball is duly full and swinging into the pads but Crane does nicely to tuck it off his pads for one.

    The stadium PA announces the 150 up for England. Not much applause bar the odd ironic clap.

  20. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Get ready, Mason Crane - the ball will be hooping back into the pads.
