    England have batted for less time in minutes than Australia scored runs in their 2nd innings....

    Gary, somewhere else in Edgbaston.

    Chris Woakes surely has to try and face every ball now. And wait for a meteor strike.

    Nathan Lyon has 15 five-fors in Test cricket. This is his second against England and only his second in the fourth innings.

    Indeed.

    Phil Tutty: Why are we sending an injured Anderson out to bat? It's not like he can bat all day and it potentially makes his injury worse.

    Nathan Lyon has had one of the days of his life.

    Australia need one wicket to win

    More yelps from Lyon, who now has six wickets to his name. The ball beats both the edge and the stumps.

    Lyon gets a hug from almost all of his team-mates at the end of the over. The Aussies are almost celebrating already.

    Nathan Lyon has his hands on his head but Jimmy Anderson has seen off the hat-trick ball.

    There are 49.2 overs left in the day. Good luck, Jimmy.

    James Anderson is coming out. It seems futile.

    Jimmy Anderson is indeed coming out to bat.

    Australia need one wicket to take a 1-0 lead in the Ashes and Nathan Lyon is on a hat-trick.

    That would be difficult to play as a right-hander.

    That might be it. James Anderson batting would be pointless. That really spat.

    Broad c Smith b Lyon 0 (Eng 136-9)

    Broad goes first ball!

    The ball spits outside off stump and Steve Smith takes the catch.

    Not much Moeen could have done about that, other than maybe ask why he didn't bowl like that on this pitch yesterday.

    Stuart Broad strides out. Is he England's last man or will Jimmy Anderson bat?

    Catch they say, and catch he does! That's a classic dismissal of a left-hander by Nathan Lyon.

    Moeen c Warner b Lyon 4 (Eng 136-8)

    This is the least surprising wicket of the day. Moeen Ali falls to Nathan Lyon.

    It's not a horror shot like the first innings. Lyon finds a bit of turn and an edge and the ball loops to second slip.

    The Aussies are on the brink.

    A masterstroke by Root refusing to bowl Woakes yesterday so that he would be rested to bat today. Genius.

    They're good scalps! Smith should have stayed as a leg-spinner.
