  1. Eng 176-6

    A big top edge from Moeen Ali as Kane Richardson bangs in a short ball, but it goes over everyone's heads.

    Four!

    Andrew Tye is a hard bowler to find a rhythm against because of all his variations. The real danger delivery is his knuckle ball though.

  3. Eng 172-6

    Need 43 to win

    Ooft, that's close for Australia, as David Willey gets into a real tangle trying to work a delivery off his pads.

    The ball pops invitingly into the air but there's no fielder close enough to take the catch. Willey survives.

  4. Eng 172-6

    Runs! Four of them!

    Too short from Andrew Tye and David Willey cuts him furiously through backward point. Tye shakes his head as he wanders back to his mark.

    I saw some bullish comments from Moeen Ali after the Scotland match that he'll continue to play aggressive shots.

    But there is a fine balance to that and Sunday's game was a perfect example of that, he just needed to knock it around. He has time here to play himself in.

  6. Eng 167-6

    Target 215

    England very nearly stray into comical run-out territory as Moeen Ali calls David Willey through for a single, realises Willey isn't coming, and has to charge back to make his ground.

    The hosts only need three runs an over. Moeen can only find a single from this latest Kane Richardson over, though.

  7. Watch: Jos Buttler's speedy innings

    Dropped...

    And then gone.

  8. Eng 166-6

    Need 49 from 102 balls

    Andrew Tye bustles his way in to bowl and gets driven for a couple, courtesy of David Willey's inside edge.

    Tye then whips out that slower delivery that did for Buttler - a knuckle ball, looking at the close ups - and Willey, somehow, avoids edging it through to Paine.

    Dan: And at 6.58pm the England batting collapse is right on schedule.

    Dave Emerton: Surely we won’t lose it from here? Not another famous collapse?

  10. Eng 164-6

    Need 51 from 108 balls

    David Willey is off the mark! Mostly thanks to a thick outside edge that beat the short leg fielder.

    That's Billy Stanlake's work done for the day. He's bowled nicely, finishing with figures of 10-1-44-2.

    I said bat sensibly. Joe Root has tried to open the face and run it down to third man. He's had a few dot balls and felt he needed to get a run.

  12. David Willey and Moeen Ali are both at the crease, and both on nought.

    Now the game twists ever so slightly. England have lost three wickets for 10 runs.

    WICKET

    Root c Paine b Stanlake 50 (Eng 163-6)

    Erm.

    There's an audible "oh!" from Joe Root as he realises what's just happened. It's a decent length delivery from Billy Stanlake and Joe Root, trying that cute little dab down to third man, ends up edging the ball and Tim Paine doesn't miss out on that one.

    A twist in the tale?

  15. Eng 163-5

    Billy Stanlake whistles down another yorker and this time Joe Root is ready for it.

    He keeps the ball away from his stumps.

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

    That was an absolutely perfect leg-stump yorker from Stanlake as well.

  17. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    Joe Root wasn't ready! He only looked up when Billy Stanlake was in his gather, ready to deliver.

  18. Eng 163-5

    Billy Stanlake has hit the stumps - but it's a dead ball!

    A rogue spectator has got into Joe Root's eyeline, and he pulls away at the very last second. Stanlake is already through the crease, and ends up plonking a yorker into the stumps.

  19. Never let it be said that Jos Buttler isn't entertaining: two boundaries, one dropped catch, a close lbw shout and then he falls to a slower ball.

    Here's Billy Stanlake, on to bowl his final over.

  20. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    A nice piece of bowling, did him with the slower ball and lured him into the lofted drive.

    A few mini fist-bumps from the Aussies - they feel they're still in this.
