    Chris Page: Can’t help but think that Root once again batted too long. Another 10 overs could have changed this result.

    Here we go, then.

  5. Aus 154-6published at 46.4 overs

    Dot then a push down the pitch for a couple.

  6. Aus 154-6published at 46.2 overs

    Here goes Joe Denly again, a crisp drive cut off by Stuart Broad at cover.

    Oh! That's gone through Travis Head! What a ball!

    Burns did get his hand to it, the ball went into his fingers but down it went.

    Pascal Culverhouse: Can’t Archer just promise to bowl “a bit slower”?

  9. Aus 154-6published at 46 overs

    12 balls left

    Don't ever let Tuffers near an umpire's coat.

    Pat Cummins pads him away and then blocks the final ball.

    Missing by another set.

  11. Not outpublished at 19:18 British Summer Time 18 August 2019

    That might have hit an eighth stump.

    There is a look about Joe Root saying 'I know that is not out'.

    This is missing the stumps by a mile.

  14. England reviewpublished at 19:17 British Summer Time 18 August 2019

    Oh, Tuffers has given this out!

    It's nowhere near out lbw, but we're having a look anyway.

  15. Aus 154-6published at 45.3 overs

    Pat Cummins has a better defensive game than David Warner.

    To be fair to Burns he is virtually on the cut stuff.

    Cummins dropped on 1published at 45.1 overs

    Oh!

    This would have been an unreal grab by Rory Burns at very very silly point as Cummins pops one up. He can't cling on. It would have been even better than Denly's.

    That's the champagne moment.

    Maiden.

    18 balls. Light fading. Rain closing in. Test cricket is magnificent.

    How crucial were those 10 overs we lost this morning? A full day's play would've been nice.
