  1. Eng 68-5

    Target 206

    Jos Buttler clatters a single through Nathan Lyon's right hand to get England going again, before Moeen pushes the ball away for a leisurely single.

  2. Eng 66-5

    Nathan Lyon gets us going after the break, and Jos Buttler dabs his first delivery safely away.

  3. Eng 66-5

    Target 206

    Here we go, then. Glorious sunshine above Old Trafford as Australia make their way out.

    Jos Buttler will resume on 27 not out. He's got Moeen, unbeaten on three, for company. 140 needed to win.

    It strikes me that we have seen the best of English cricket and the worst of English cricket in the space of a few short hours. Thank goodness for the footie.

    Mark in Somerset.

  5. There's currently a debate raging around me about whether melted cheese tastes the same, whether it's hot or cold.

    Never let it be said that we're not at the height of professionalism. The players will be making their way out shortly.

    Matt Chauhan: When was the last time Joe Root played an innings of worth in ODIs? I feel his style just doesn't suit this format.

  7. How's stat?!

    Adil Rashid's 12 wickets is the most by an England spinner in a bilateral series.

    He now has 22 against Australia in 2018, the most by any bowler against in a calendar year.

    You can see Stanlake being a handful in future meetings between these teams.

  9. Right, Amy Lofthouse is back to talk you through the rest of this match. I'm off to watch Japan v Senegal...

    Neale Pye: Seems England get penalised for bowling Aus out quickly. They get a break. Our batsmen need to start again

  11. And when this happened to Alex Hales England found themselves 50-5.

    Seamus Cleary: When will an England team demonstrate the same level of killer instinct that former WI and Aussie teams did?

  13. 206 for England to win the series 5-0?

    No problem.

    Enter Billy Stanlake...

  14. BBC Test Match Special

    CricBuzz's Vithushan Ehantharajah: "You kind of want this to happen to England because they will learn more from these matches than from the games where they nearly got 500."

  15. Did you see the Aussie capitulation earlier on?

    From 60-0 they were 205 all out. All 10 wickets fell in the space of 28.2 overs.

    Here are two of my favourites. A brilliant run-out and a batsman leaving one on to middle stump.

  16. BBC Test Match Special

    Keep an ear on Test Match Special. They have assembled a panel of journalists to chat through the interval. John Etheridge of the Sun, Melinda Farrell of Cricinfo and the Guardian's Vithushan Ehantharajah have joined Jonathan Agnew.

  17. Panama, by the way, have got one back. 6-1.

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

    Australia have given themselves a chance. England will have been disappointed with the way they've gone about things. Australia have bowled decently but there's been a couple of rash shots.

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Well, haven't we got a game on here...?

  20. Interval - Eng 66-5

    Target 206

    The end of a pretty incredible session of cricket. We have the unusual sight of the players heading off midway through an ODI innings. England's top order has been decimated, mainly by Billy Stanlake. It should be a decent finish when they come out in 40 minutes or so.
