    Ben Stokes takes a single off the second ball of the day. He may as well. Got to trust Jofra Archer, although I may retract that statement as he hoiks a horrible slog over mid wicket and it just about lands safe...

    Camping in Derbyshire. The campsite pub is showing football! Don't they know this is The Ashes?! Thank goodness for BBC live feed.

    That's not a wise shot Jofra.

    Jofra, batting in a huge gold chain and still wearing his watch, jabs down hard on a low ball from James Pattinson, and then chases a bouncer which just misses his gloves.

    He's going after the ball!

    That's a stupid bouncer. It's so far short that Jofra Archer couldn't even have headed it if he'd jumped.

    Make him play awkwardly, not just bang it in anywhere. That's totally ineffective.

    That's a good ball! Too good for Jofra Archer, who edges it to David Warner at first slip - but it lands a few feet in front of him.

    Pattinson still appeals for it.

    Just taking seats on a flight to Bermuda - take off in 15 minutes... Any chance you can pass the message on to Stokes to get things moving a bit?

    Australia will get fidgety if this gets down to 50 needed with three wickets still remaining.

    The next 30-40 runs are crucial.

    What number do we get down to before we start contemplating a win again? 30?

    Thomas Leonard: England were absolutely in a position to win this Test and as usual they've thrown it away, the worst part is I'm not even surprised any more.

    What are they doing? An utterly senseless throw.

    The inevitable follow-up bouncer is well ducked by Jofra Archer.

    And now some overthrows! It's all going off.

    Not all bald men look the same.

    Jofra Archer plays a fast Cummins bouncer well, tapping it down to safety.

    Shot! Archer slaps him away for four through point! Brilliantly struck.
