  1. Aus 236-5

    Target 303

    Another accurate one from Wood, just singles from it and his eight overs have produced 2-31, the required rate now over 11.

  2. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Morgan has now got Wood, Woakes and Rashid to bowl the final seven overs.

  3. Aus 231-5

    Target 303

    Paine backs away to leg to Moeen and flips the 14th four of the innings for the Australians, the ball racing away to the square-leg rope. The home side need 72 from the final 42 balls to keep the series alive.

  4. Should Smith have been given out?

    Until we have 3D telly with ball tracking technology we’ll never know if that was out or not. In the meantime the rules are simple. It was given soft out. You can’t prove with telly otherwise. So he’s OUT. We all play by the same rules.

  5. Aus 223-5

    Target 303

    A swing and a miss from Paine at Woakes and Australia need a boundary, with the required rate now up to 10 for the final eight overs.

    Boo hoo. Australia on the wrong end of a debatable decision. Welcome to our world Mr Smith.

    Dave, Reading

    Smith needs to remember a few controversial decisions went in Australia's favour in the Test series.

  7. Aus 217-5

    Target 303

    The final 10, permitting five fielders are allowed outside the circle. Bairstow is one of them and he gets some good natured cheers/jeers from the crowd as he makes a safe return over the stumps following that recent fielding blunder. A steady over of singles from Moeen as Aussie icon John Farnham's anthemic "You're The Voice" echoes around the ground.

    Can someone back me up... that was OUT.

    I'm a hardened England cricket fan but Steve Smith wasn't out there...

  9. Aus 213-5

    Target 303

    Just singles from the Woakes over. What can Australia find from the final 10 overs? They need 90, England made 102.

  10. Jim Maxwell

    A wonderful chance for England to seize this game.

  11. Aus 210-5

    Target 303

    A successful over from Rashid and he has 2-35 from his eight overs.

  12. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Easy catch in the end for Hales. The ball got too high up on the bat - he just couldn't quite free the hands enough. That throws it back into England's favour.

    Marsh c Hales b Rashid 55 (Aus 210-5)

    Another big moment. It was short from Rashid, Marsh's eyes lit up, he could have hit it anywhere but it went straight into the hands of Hales on the wide long-on boundary. Australia still need 93 as Tim Paine comes to the crease.

    Getting reports through from a super yacht in the middle of the Pacific on the way to Tahiti. I believe I am the most isolated person in the world getting reports through! Anyone beat that?

  15. Aus 209-4

    Marsh 55, Stoinis 12

    Moeen returns, his first seven overs having gone for 40. Stoinis smashed 11 sixes in an unbeaten 146 in only his second ODI against New Zealand last January, but there are only singles in this over.

    He hits the ball harder than anyone I've come up against in the last 18 months.

    Aus 204-4

    Target 303

    Marsh carves Rashid powerfully for his fourth four which brings up his 11th fifty and it has come from 60 balls. Stoinis joins in the fun, it was flighted from Rashid and it took off again from the middle of the bat, straight back over the bowler's head for six, 12 from the over and 99 required for victory.

    Form the side-on angle of Smith's wicket, it looked like the ball went into the ground. My gut instinct was I felt Smith was unlucky.

    Now with Smith out England have to turn the screw and push hard for another couple of wickets. We don’t want any batsmen to settle!
