Excellent control from Moeen too, Smith and Head only able to nurdle three runs.

But England need wickets, not just control.

Solid start from Rashid, just three singles from the over. He outwitted Smith with a googly too, the Aussie skipper playing for the spin and instead getting an inside edge on it, but a thick enough edge to deflect away square.

Time for double spin. Here comes leg-spinner Adil Rashid...

Moeen wheels in and Smith rolls away to deep mid-wicket for one.

Will Head go after the spinner? He advances down the pitch but is forced to cover up in defence before he slides the last ball away for one.

Head has looked poor with the bat in previous games - fidgety and not in sync. But he's got off to a flyer here.

Tom Curran gets one of those back-of-the-hand slower balls wrong, badly wrong, as it rolls very wide off the cut strip. Yeesh, and again - two wides to the start the over.

He gets back on line but that's too full and Head punches back down the ground for four.

Good response from Curran, bowling more wicket to wicket as Head can't get it away.

But the last is wide and Head slashes it through the covers for four. He's taking the game away from England at a fair lick. For all his first over was excellent, that was a bit dire from Curran - those two failed slower balls knocking him off his line and length.

Head works the ball away round his front pad for one before Smith clips it round the corner for another. That's 50 up for Australia.

A tidy start from Moeen as Head just flicks away for a single to finish the over.

Not nearly as much swing for England as there was for Australia earlier on.

Eoin Morgan is turning to spin - here comes Moeen Ali...

Cameron White is a good player but as somebody who has played against Glenn Maxwell a lot, I know who I'd rather have in the opposition side. Maxwell was a nightmare to play and field against.

Still baffles me that Australia called up Cameron White for this series. Very little from the 34-year-old to suggest it's worth persevering with him going forward to the next World Cup.

Skipper Steve Smith arrives at the crease, happy to just defend his first two deliveries.

That's a wicket maiden from Curran, an excellent start to his spell.

That's really nice from Tom Curran. He's brought intent and aggression to this England bowling attack already.

White gets off the mark as he drills it down through mid-on for three.

Head then dispatches a short one from Woakes back past mid-on to the fence. Brutish but effective stuff from the opener.

He cuts at a wide one but Jason Roy puts in a terrific dive to parry the ball to Eoin Morgan in the covers and there's no run.

The final delivery is full, wide and Head drives it through the covers. He clearly fancies getting a prime spot for the Australia Day fireworks later.

Australia don't have a particularly explosive batting line-up, but when you're only chasing 197, you'd expect players like Steve Smith and Cameron White to knock those off rather easily.

Travis Head looks to be trying to slog his way into some form, flaying at a wide one and just about getting it over point and away to the fence.

Ugh. Sure enough Head flays away again and nicks it...but that flies through where second slip would've been for four. England had just taken second slip out. Sickener.

Make that another four - Head flicks it uppishly from outside off through mid-wicket to the fence. Not the prettiest three shots, but Australia already have 12 from the over.

Good response from Wood, bowling a tighter line to send down three dot balls.

Cameron White is the new man in and he leaves and blocks his first two deliveries.

Top score with the bat - can Woakes be England's inspiration with the ball too?

Warner has not looked in the best of form in this series. He's not been totally explosive. England's method of banging the ball across him seems to be working.

That's poor from Warner - it was wide enough for Warner to leave or play with a squarer bat. You'd hope somebody as good as Warner could adjust better. The decision-making process needs to be sharper.
