    Carey has the single to hand the strike to Maxwell to the delight of the crowd. Scores level and over to you Glenn.

    Imagine Mark Wood bowled two wides now.

    Carey needs to get a single; for everyone watching in the ground and on TV around the world.

  4. Aus 154-5published at 18 overs

    Target 156

    Maxwell remains one step ahead of the bowlers, it's a clever slower ball from Curran but the 'Big Show' is wise to it and smears it through mid-wicket for his ninth four, swiftly adding a 10th over mid-off. He takes two off the final ball of the over and has 97, with only two needed for victory.

    Glenn Maxwell has been an utter star tonight. It makes you wonder where he was during the ODIs. Jordan, by the way, has bowled well today, and has been very slippery - cranking the ball up to 90mph at times.

  6. Aus 139-5published at 17 overs

    Target 156

    Stunning stroke again from Maxwell, angling the bat, opening the face, steering it backward of square for four and holding the pose as Jordan shakes his head in bewilderment. He then shovels one into the leg-side but Billings hesitates and doesn't risk the dive forward and Maxwell advances to 83. Jordan finishes with 0-34.

    I've only just realised but it's 10.50pm in the evening here now. Pass me the cocoa.

  8. Aus 128-5published at 16 overs

    Target 156

    Another left-hander to the crease in wicketkeeper Alex Carey and he is off the mark first ball with a single into the off-side. Australia need 28 from the remaining 24 balls.

    That's brilliant from Willey. The ball was tailing into the leg-side, on a yorker length.

    Head b Willey (Aus 127-5) (target 156)

    Willey gives England hope with another beauty, swinging in and beating Head's hoick to shatter the timbers.

  11. Aus 126-4published at 15.3 overs

    Now England turn to Willey but Maxwell turns up the heat with successive boundaries, slicing down the ground for a one-bounce four and pulling the next one to the mid-wicket rope.

    E-Bae: How can you watch 100 replays, none of them conclusive, and then overturn the on field decision?!

  13. Aus 117-4published at 15 overs

    Target 156

    Willey took those two superb wickets in the first over and he has two overs up his sleeve but it is Curran again. A third over without a boundary but Australia content to tick along smoothly. Is there a sting in the tail?

    England have got to get at least one more over out of Willey.

  15. Aus 111-4published at 14 overs

    Target 156

    Jordan again for his penultimate over. He keeps the boundaries at bay but Australia need only 45 from the remaining 36 balls with Maxwell still there, seeing it like a football.

    Mark Adamoulas: Aussie selectors will be ruing their decision not to have Maxi involved in ODIs. A complete player.

  17. Aus 104-4published at 13 overs

    The fact that nobody has a definitive opinion on that catch tells you how difficult it was to judge for the third umpire. You do sense, however, that could be the ball-game. If England had removed Maxwell, it was game on. Now, you expect Australia to see this one home.

  18. Not outpublished at 11:34 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2018

    Sorry for the delay, even our publishing system is feeling the tension. They have overturned the decision and Maxwell survives on 59.

    How difficult is this for the third umpire?

    Jason Roy is adamant he caught it and generally the umpires go with the fielder's gut instinct.
