Tim Paine appeals for caught behind as Joe Denly flicks at a big turner on his first ball. Not out.

BBC Test Match SpecialRoy wanted to get on top of Nathan Lyon there. When it doesn't work, it looks abysmal. He's absolutely nowhere near the ball.

Jason Roy has missed that by an absolute mile.
Australia will be reminding him of that dismissal all series long.

BBC Test Match SpecialOh, that looks terrible. He's come charging at Lyon and the ball spun between bat and body and clattered into the stumps. It looks dreadful when that happens.

Roy b Lyon 28 (Eng 60-2)
No, Jason, not that. No, no, no, no, no.
Jason Roy skips down the pitch, trying to put the pressure back on Nathan Lyon, but misses with an ugly swipe and is bowled through the gate.
That is not a shot you play when trying to save the game.

Glenn McGrath
Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThis day and age, why would you be an umpire? You're under pressure because every delivery is scrutinised over and over. Plus you can't umpire in your home county, so where's the incentive? DRS has put so much extra pressure on them it's ridiculous, and it was meant to do the opposite. Originally I was a big fan of DRS. I'm not now. I'd also get rid of neutral umpires. The best umpires should be operation in a Test.

Whisper it quietly but is the ball starting to soften? I foresee a Jason Roy 130 here, both saving the game and cementing his spot in the Test team.

Roy 28, Root 18
Eek. Joe Root plays and misses at one from Peter Siddle.
But he then plays with soft hands and rolls the ball down to third man for four.
A clip off his pads from the last to keep the strike.
Afterwards he has a quick word with Joel Wilson, who gives the England captain a tap on the back.

Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialSometimes the best form of defense is attack. But that four, the ball turned a lot. Lyon won't be too concerned with Roy playing shots like that.
