    Matthew Wade is having throwdowns on the outfield during tea. It's like club cricket.

    I mean, as someone who is from Barnsley, I find that incredibly offensive.

    We've got a statue of Dickie Bird! What more do you want from a place?!

    Don't go too far - the game is not over, folks. Australia are a bit wobbly.

    Cheers, JL.

    Jofra Archer's a bit special, isn't he?

    The best we can do here is a cup of tea but I'll have that now. Fair play to Bancroft and Labuschagne, that was brutal Test cricket again but they held on. How much longer can they survive? There are 35 overs for England to take the eight wickets, over to Amy Lofthouse to see if they can do it.

    It's heading for the draw - one more wicket there would have been nice. Cameron Bancroft has played pretty well. He's faced Jofra down and he'll go and have a cup of tea and a bit of a rub down. But then, so will Jofra Archer...

    Jonny Lipsham Studio: Rather provoke a hungry lion with a steak strapped to my trousers than face Archer.

    That flew! He just got his head out of the line of that. A snorter that went flashing past him. That was quick.

    Aus 46-2

    It's these bouncers from the Pavilion End, they arrow back into the right-handers like something evil from a computer game. Somehow Bancroft survives and that will be tea. There will be 35 overs remaining in the final session, which will begin at 17:00.

    Archer is awkward. I haven't seen it for a while in Test match cricket - you have to be brave against this. That West Indies side, those great four fast bowlers, it wasn't just about technique, it was about having the ticker.

    Having worn another one on the glove, the spirited Labuschagne gets off the mark and exhales notably.

    Jarleth Eaton: I’d rather be stood up on a plane during major turbulence than face an over from Jofra Archer. Less chance of injury.

    Paul McKenzie: I'd rather be locked in a room with Geoffrey Boycott discussing his batting career than face Jofra Archer.

    Gemma: Swim with a great white shark.

    That was like watching Derek Underwood! That fizzed through! Jonny Bairstow made a pretty good take in the end.

  15. Aus 43-2published at 12 overs

    Some spin from Jack Leach and he fizzes one through out of the rough from over the wicket that Bairstow takes above his head. Danger for the batsmen even from the spinners. One more over before tea and no prizes for guessing who is going to bowl it.

    There are more South Africa-born players in the Australia squad than England's - Jason Roy was born there, as was Marnus Labuschagne and Michael Neser.

    Archer 2-13

    Archer strikes again, nipping one back to clatter into the bread basket of Bancroft, who tries to look nonchalant as he chews his gum. He will be anxiously looking at the clock and there are still six minutes before the sanctuary of the tea interval. Archer at 91mph.
