    Ben Stokes may have made his first error in quite a while. He hits James Pattinson away, wants two but that's only ever a single. It means Jack Leach will have to face four. Stokes looks cramped up, needs a bit more help.

    I think James Pattinson has wrecked his boots. They are bringing out new shoes for him.

    Ben Stokes has had an energy gel. Bit more petrol in the tank!

    Supposed to be boarding my flight to Amsterdam now. "Bing-Bong, your flight is delayed by 1 hour". Result! C'mon Ben!

    Do not go to sleep in Australia. You cannot possibly do that.

    Ben Stokes needs a bit a stretch out and some fluids, while James Pattinson also needs some treatment. A bruising, hot day in Leeds.

    Good Apollo: I've just dislocated my knee for the third time. Lying here with ice on it, listening to the cricket and just hoping England can rescue something here to drag me from my inflamed, painful stupor.

    Marie Gardener: I want us to win but I think it would be better for us to lose, maybe then we’ll take a long hard look at our batting in a test match. Love you England.

    A reverse sweep into the Western Terrace for six! My, my. That was brilliant.

    Stokes 84, Leach 0

    Well that is quite something! A pre-meditated reverse slog sweep for six more!

    Straight out of the ODI playbook.

    I was right behind that Ben Stokes six in the stands. For a long way it didn’t look like it was going to make it over Josh Hazlewood. There was an eruption of noise when it did.

    56 to win.

    Ben Stokes is then beaten outside his off stump. Nathan Lyon's 100 is up...

    Ben Stokes surveys the field as Nathan Lyon comes in to bowl. Doesn't matter where you put them if he tonks it for six!

    He didn't even middle that.
