  1. Not outpublished at 25.1 overs

    It's hit him outside the line of off stump.

    Not the greatest review you'll see - and yet it's not even the worst one we've seen in this match. Marnus Labuschagne survives.

    Too high surely?

    Marnus Labuschagne was squared up but it's hit him very high on the back leg...

    Hello!

    Joe Root likes this lbw shout against Marnus Labuschagne. I'm not too sure...

    There are four teams to have taken eight or more wickets in the final session to win. New Zealand took nine to win in 2016.

    It's quite simple, only play what you have to play, don't look for runs, if they bowl a ball you don't need to play, don't play it. You don't need heroics, save that for another day.

  7. Aus 84-3published at 25 overs

    Min 23 overs left

    Squawks of anguish from Stuart Broad as he spears one in to Travis Head's pads, and Head simply helps it on its journey towards fine leg.

    Head slaps a drive straight along the ground to Chris Woakes at mid-off, and that'll be the over.

    Can anyone tell me what this bit of picnicking kit does? Wine cooler?

    Even if Glenn McGrath was batting in this series at number 4, we wouldn't ever get him out.

    Edge - but it's along the ground, and a diving Jason Roy at slip stops the ball racing away for a cheeky boundary.

    There'll be some light meter twitching soon...

    If they stay in for 10 overs or so they are nearly home and dry then.

  13. Aus 77-3published at 23 overs

    Min 25 overs left

    Marnus Labuschagne wafts his arm in a Steve Smith-esque fashion to show himself which way the ball is moving, before he creams a drive through cover for four. Shot!

    Chris Woakes is limbering up. It feels like a good time for him to bowl, you know...

    It just needs one good partnership to survive because there are not many overs left but if you watch carefully the quality of the batting is poor.

    I think Joe Root might have given Jofra Archer one over too many - here's Stuart Broad.

    Mike Bell: I reckon this concussion substitute is just Steve Smith in disguise. We can't get him out either.

    Much better from Head. In the first over he would have tried to sweep that but he is looking more comfortable.

    Min 26 overs left

    It's got a bit darker at Lord's but that doesn't bother Travis Head, who flicks a lovely drive through cover for a controlled four.

    He's got four men around the bat, with Joe Root directing traffic from first slip, before he goes for a sweep that he misses by a foot. There's a polite inquiry for lbw, but that's pitched outside leg.

    Genuine fast bowlers can make you get stuck on the crease. What a Test match Archer has had, there was so much pressure on him.
