  1. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 31 overs

    Buttler c Richardson b Tye 9 (Eng 163-5)

    Whoops.

    Jos Buttler knew that was out from the moment he hit it. It's a slower ball from Andrew Tye, and Buttler plonks it straight to the waiting fielder at mid-on.

  2. Eng 163-4published at 30.4 overs

    Shot!

    A dreamy drive through extra cover as Andrew Tye overpitches, and that'll be four to Jos Buttler.

  3. Eng 159-4published at 30.2 overs

    Now then.

    There's swing from Andrew Tye, getting the ball to tail back into Jos Buttler, but the England batsman is saved thanks to a big inside edge.

    It's almost like he caught it in the little fingers of his gloves and was trying to throw it up and catch it properly as he fell.

    Tim Paine has just said something to himself that I won't repeat on the BBC.

    I'm not sure how that happened but it brought the biggest cheer of the day!

    Oh! That should be gone!

    Tim Paine does all the hard work, and then fluffs it at the last second. It's a big top edge from Jos Buttler as he tries to pull a quick delivery from Billy Stanlake. Paine chases it down, gets it in his hands - and then drops the ball as he falls to the ground. Ouch.

    That ball was almost 90mph and Buttler planted a foot and hit the ball over mid-off's head for four. A sign of confidence!

  9. Eng 158-4published at 29.4 overs

    Jos Buttler has a look at his first two deliveries - and then thumps his third over the fielders for four!

    That didn't quite come out of the middle but dearie me, he hits a ball hard. He's sent that flying down towards the boundary.

    Joe Root's job is to see England home here. He's the glue. He's supported Eoin Morgan really well and now it's over to him - as the set and established batsman - to finish it.

    50 for Rootpublished at 29.1 overs

    Eng 154-4

    Joe Root leans back and cuts Billy Stanlake down towards third man to bring up his half-century.

    It's been as calm as you'd like form the England Test captain.

  12. Eng 153-4published at 29 overs

    That was the first ball a seamer has bowled from round the wicket to Eoin Morgan - and it's paid off straight away.

    Jos Buttler is the new man in, with England needing 62 from 126 deliveries.

    The change of angle perhaps did for Eoin Morgan, with Andrew Tye coming round the wicket and bowling it cross-seam. The England skipper looked very composed today though.

    Oh. Eoin Morgan's very nice innings is over. That partnership should still ensure England win this one though.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 28.5 overs

    Morgan c Paine b Tye 69 (Eng 153-4)

    Out of nowhere, a wicket!

    Eoin Morgan has a rueful little glance at the pitch as he walks off. Andrew Tye changes his angle slightly and Morgan, flashing hard, gets a little nick through to Tim Paine. He looks a touch irked with himself.

  16. Eng 153-3published at 28.3 overs

    Joe Root, on 48, faces up to the right-arm of Andrew Tye, and watches a wide go whizzing over his head.

    It's a great take from Tim Paine, who jumps and sticks a hand nonchalantly up in the air to stop the ball fizzing down to the boundary. Root jogs a single from the next delivery.

    Another shuffle of the pack for Australia, as Tim Paine chucks the ball in Andrew Tye's direction.

    Your 5-0 series win for England prediction is still on, Jonathan.

  19. Eng 149-3published at 28 overs

    A nurdle off the pads brings Joe Root a single to end the over.

    The required run rate is currently 3.0.

  20. Eng 148-3published at 27.2 overs

    Four!

    That's nice work from Joe Root, leaning back and cutting the ball over Glenn Maxwell at backward point and away for four. Maxwell leaps, but not even he can get a hand on that.
