    On previous days around this time the areas behind the stands were busy with people having an early lunch. Not today. It’s almost empty down there.

  4. Eng 229-4

    Nathan Lyon turns a big fizzing delivery past the outside edge again.

    England are going to have to really fight to repel the Aussie spinner today.

    Stokes gets firmly in behind to defend the last.

  5. Eng 229-4

    Yowzer. That's a ripper from Nathan Lyon, turn and bounce past the outside edge of Ben Stokes' bad.

    He missed it by a mile but for some reason Tim Paine asks Nathan Lyon if it's worth a review. Lyon says obviously not.

  6. Eng 229-4

    Need 130 more to win

    Nathan Lyon returns to the fray and Jonny Bairstow paddle sweeps round the corner for a single.

  7. 'Pressure is on Australia'

    You're always a bit nervous, you need that. England still need to get 131 runs and one ball can turn things around massively.

    While England are building this partnership, and building it quickly, the pressure is back on Australia.

  8. Eng 228-4

    Stokes 30, Bairstow 26

    Ben Stokes jabs into a gap and takes the sharp single.

    Pat Cummins gets one to jag back into Jonny Bairstow's thigh and appeals for lbw but that was clearly going down. Cummins gets jeered for his troubles.

    More jeers and cheers as Tim Paine spills the ball after Bairstow leaves outside off and England pick up a bye.

    It moved a bit but that's pretty ordinary glovework.

  9. How's stat?!

    England have scored 60 in eight overs with the new ball.

    Eng 226-4

    And Ben Stokes swivels the first delivery off his hips into the stands!

    Am I drunk? Is this happening?

    That is the first six of the Test.

  11. Pat Cummins returns.

    A lot of the posh seats are empty. Incredible when you think what is at stake and what could happen.

  16. Eng 219-4

    James Pattinson drops short and wide and Ben Stokes cuts it firmly away for four.

    Excellent shot. Ropey bowling.

  17. I hope someone can bring Collingwood food and refreshments. He's not allowed to move all day now.

    Paul Collingwood is sitting alone at the end of the players' balcony. He hasn't moved all morning.

    Need 144 more to win

    Bairstow and Stokes are really putting pressure on the fielders with their running.

    A glance off a thick outside edge through point brings Bairstow two more.
