    Trail by 82

    Pat Cummins hangs a few outside Ben Stokes' off-stump but the England all-rounder isn't remotely tempted, leaving well alone.

    Rory Burns on strike on 99 next up.

  2. Eng 202-4

    Rory Burns pushes into the gap at cover, there is a misfield but he wisely just takes the single to move to 99.

    If you stay in long enough they will give you something to hit. Don't you make the mistake.

  4. Eng 201-4

    Superb shot! Pat Cummins strays too straight from round the wicket and Rory Burns crisply clips it off his toes round the corner for four.

    He moves to 98...

  5. Eng 197-4

    Oh dearie me. Rory Burns chases a very, very wide ball from Pat Cummins. That was barely on the cut strip. Shelve that one.

    Australia know that, in 13 overs, they get a new conker.

  8. Eng 197-4

    Burns 94, Stokes 1

    Eek. Nathan Lyon tweaks one just past Rory Burns' outside edge. The Surrey man shrugs it off and taps another single to move to 94.

  9. Eng 196-4

    Hmm. Australia are keeping deep cover in place to a batsman on nought - Ben Stokes duly pushes it out to that man for a single to get off the mark.

  10. Eng 195-4

    Nathan Lyon drags it down and Rory Burns rocks back to crack it out to deep cover for a single. He finally moves off 92.

    The law around changing the ball needs to be changed. The ball is such an intrinsic part of the game that if it becomes slightly out of shape through normal play it should simply be accepted and the fielding side should have to wait for the new ball after 80 overs.

    Tensions cooled in the Hollies. Sherlock Holmes, a policeman and a man without a shirt are doing the YMCA.

    Trail by 90

    Ben Stokes leaves and then defends his first two balls.

    Straight away, Tim Paine calls up Nathan Lyon to return to the attack, with two left-handers at the crease.

    An even bigger roar for Ben Stokes.

    I thought Stokes would have come out before Buttler. He's the man of the moment and he's a good batter. He doesn't play the off-spinner very well when it's turning, though...

    Ben Stokes is getting a standing ovation from everyone around Edgbaston. It's almost the biggest cheer of the day.

  17. Ben Stokes told Tuffers & Vaughan the other night that he had asked to return to number six and that's where he strides out now, plenty of work to do to steady this innings now.

    If anybody deserved a wicket, it was Cummins. He's run in all day and had nothing to show for it. Buttler was turning the ball to leg and it just held its line a little bit.

    Buttler c Bancroft b Cummins 5 (Eng 194-4)

    Superb catch.

    Jos Buttler tries to flick Pat Cummins off his pads but misjudges it and sends a leading edge low towards third slip.

    Cameron Bancroft dives low to his right and snaffles it just above the ground. Excellent hands.

    Australia strike again in quick succession. Their seamers must be delighted with this replacement ball.

    It's just starting to get testy in the Hollies. It turns out that the French maids are Aussies and they are having a lively debate with some England fans on the back row. Down at the front, a group of stewards have moved in to mediate a conversation between a lad in a red cap and a man in a blue T-shirt.
