    Mix up! Rory Burns slices out to backward point, sets off, is sent back and dives to make his ground.

    Tim Paine has the bails off but Burns was back. They're just double checking.

  2. Postpublished at 17:47 British Summer Time 2 August 2019

    Umpire Aleem Dar unfurls a bit of leg spin to send the new ball over to Joel Wilson. He should've bowled instead of Matthew Wade.

    But Australia aren't going to take the new cherry just yet. Nathan Lyon is going to continue.

    Who would have thought Rory Burns would be our Steve Smith...

    Travis Head learned that pitching it in his own half wasn't a good idea. That's a much tighter over and Ben Stokes plays out a maiden.

    Ben Stokes is trying to dry his sweaty palms.

    Travis Head will bowl the final over before the new ball becomes available.

    Rory Burns shapes to loft Nathan Lyon over wide mid-on, miscues it slightly but the ball lands safe and the centurion picks up two more.

    He covers up and sees out the rest of the over.

    Matthew Wade is the 16th most intimidating bowler in the Australian test squad.

    Travis Head is trying plenty of short stuff. Shame he's an off-spinner though.

    Easy runs for England.

    Travis Head drags down his off-break and Rory Burns whacks it through the covers for four.

    England trail by under 50 now.

    That is absolutely fantastic, Harry.

    Matthew Wade gets only one over (booooooooo).

    Travis Head is going to have a tweak.

    Lovely stuff. Ben Stokes bends low and sends a delicate paddle sweep off Nathan Lyon round the corner for four.

    Any chance Tim Paine could name 15 better Test centuries?

    Oh, Rory Burns, don't throw it away to Matthew Wade of all people.

    A drag down and Burns' eyes light up, carving it just up over mid-on and away for two.

    This is exactly the kind of part-time bowling that can get a wicket.

    Matthew Wade does his best Steve Harmison first ball of the 2006-07 Ashes impression. Not much landed on the cut strip and that's a wide!

    Wade is sort of Bumrah-style... if only.
