  1. Eng 76-4

    Lyon 6-1-28-0

    Tim Paine is so dramatic behind the stumps. He goes for an overexaggerated take off Lyon, pirouetting into the air and holding his hands high in the air.

    This is when I start getting nervous that we don't have the near guaranteed 40-70 runs from Sam Curran at no 8 or 9 that got us through last summer.

    Buttler gets stuck on the crease a little bit, we saw it in the first innings too.

  4. Eng 75-4

    Lead by 83

    Hands on heads from Peter Siddle as Jos Buttler tries to flick him through mid-wicket and a leading edge pops just over Siddle's head and down the ground.

    Horrible.

    Suspect Australia won't have to chase any more than 110. England look a broken team. Defeat is a certainty. Root has to step down.

  6. Eng 75-4

    Jos Buttler has decided he's going to walk at Peter Siddle and try and throw him off his line.

    Siddle's response is an absolute peach that goes tearing past a squared-up Buttler's outside edge.

    Buttler has got to battle his way out of this slump, hard work, concentration, getting himself in. You can tell who is on top by the way the Australians are running about and getting in their fielding positions, the two batsmen having a bit of a crisis meeting mid-pitch.

  8. Another one goes...

    It's excitement every ball at the moment, it's great to watch.

  10. Eng 75-4

    Stokes 6, Buttler 3

    Oh, Jos Buttler. He gets himself into a horrible position to face Nathan Lyon, shuffling back and getting struck smack in front of off stump, but a thick inside edge has saved him.

    Down the pitch Buttler comes - it's not timed, it's not pretty and it's not effective, the ball skipping past short leg for a single.

  11. I'd just like one match where England aren't 15-2. That's all I want.

    Steve Smith, incidentally, is back in the Australian dressing room.

    Two 50-run partnerships for Denly and Burns this Test, time for Denly to open? Won't be perfect but could give us a base to work off.

  13. If everyone keeps dropping catches off you, then just do it yourself.

  14. Eng 74-4

    Lead by 82

    Shot! A nice flick from Jos Buttler, whipping Peter Siddle through mid-wicket, but Travis Head gets a touch on it to stop it rolling to the boundary.

    Burns has got good character. That was a good ball that could have got anyone out.

  16. Simon Mann

    We said last night all four results were still possible - and they still are.

  17. Jos Buttler, scores of 5, 1 and 12 to his name, has come out to join Ben Stokes.

    If another one goes...

  18. Mitchell Johnson
    Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    We saw a little bit of this from Siddle in the last Test match. That's just flicked the glove, there has been enough for the quicker bowlers from that Pavilion End, the bowlers have been getting a bit more lift.

    WICKET

    Burns c Paine b Siddle 29 (Eng 71-4)

    Rory Burns is bounced out!

    What a brilliant ball from Peter Siddle. He bends his back, finding some sharp rise off this pitch and Burns, twisting in the air, gets a bit of glove through to a leaping Tim Paine.

    England's lead is 79. This has got tasty...

  20. It's not been Australia's best fielding performance.
