    Three might do it for Jofra, if he survives 50+ balls and hangs around with Stokes.

    If Ben Stokes wins this combined with his World Cup heroics hes guaranteed SPOTY, as well as a knighthood, an Oscar and any other awards available. Plus make him the next PM.

    Ben Stokes is running out of partners fast now. Will he start slogging all over the place?

    Does Jofra Archer ever get nervous?

    You feel like Jofra Archer will play some decent hands with the bat during his Test career. But this is such a tough occasion.

    Jofra Archer is the new man out there. 98 needed.

    His job was to stay there with Stokes. There was no need for that shot.

    No, no, no, no.

    What was on the menu at lunch? Hallucinogens?

    Such a misreading of the match situation again by an English batsman. Shots like this undo so much hard graft from earlier on. Chris Woakes survives a short-ball barrage and then just drives a fuller ball straight to the man placed there for that exact reason.

    Dear oh dear.

    Chris Woakes won't need an analyst to tell him where to expect the majority of deliveries from Josh Hazlewood. Between collarbone and cheekbone. At 87mph+.

    He's been out to the short ball a lot in the series. Understandably.

    Ben Stokes' fifty took him 152 balls, with six fours and one six.

    It is his slowest fifty in Test cricket. But not by much - he took 147 balls to reach 50 against India last year.

    A superb atmosphere inside Headingley now, despite those two wickets which have threatened to bring things to a conclusion.

    There it is, a half-century for Ben Stokes. It pretty much all rests on him. For the second Sunday in a row, he's holding up Australia.

    50 for Ben Stokespublished at 14:21 British Summer Time 25 August 2019

    And a really good one too. Off 152 balls! His 19th Test 50, how he could do with an eighth ton.
