Jonny Bairstow can't quite work it off his pads but it deflects away for a leg bye.

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialBairstow is letting the ball come to him, that's the key. Now get back into your bubble, Jonny.
Sometimes when his beans are up he goes chasing after balls that aren't there.

Stokes 9, Bairstow 15
A bit streakier but safe enough as Jonny Bairstow slices it off a thick outside edge through the gap between and down to third man for four.
Again letting a full ball come to him.

Jonny Bairstow waits for a full ball from Josh Hazlewood and caresses it through the covers for four.
Shot. Superb timing and good decision making to let the ball come to him.

For all the criticism of Root's decision making today, I also can't stop thinking "what if he'd held the catch off Labuschagne?" England might only need another 110 right now.

Target 359
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
Ben Stokes top edges a low-arm pull shot off Pat Cummins and the ball loops into the air.
Out? Safe?
Safe. It lands beyond the reach of the retreating square leg fielder and Stokes picks up two before admonishing himself for the shot.

Jonny Bairstow wafts a bit loosely and misses outside off.
That's better, firmly pushing into the gap at mid-wicket for a single.

Michael Vaughan has forgotten this is Jofra Archer's world and that we're just living in it.

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialIt really is down to these two and Jos Buttler. You can't leave the tailenders to get you 100 or so. Especially with the way they have bowled to the tail. Short, fast, aggressive.

Stokes 7, Bairstow 6
Jonny Bairstow tickles it fine off his pads and streaks down the pitch.
Pat Cummins gets across and puts in a fine diving stop, but he can't prevent the quick Ben Stokes scampering back to complete the third run.
Stokes leaves the last outside off. Rahul Dravid-esque.

Josh Hazlewood has bowled a wide! Big cheers.

England can still win this, but for their captain and best batsmen to throw his wkt away - when all he had to do was slowly rotate the strike until lunch - is inexcusable. Terrible leadership.

Blimey, Joe Root getting annihilated by 'fans' on here. Great player, worked wonders yesterday, made a mistake today. Get over it...

Good news, England fans. Pat Cummins hasn't taken a wicket with the new ball yet.

He just shrugged this off. Remarkable.

And the first delivery with the new ball spits up at Jonny Bairstow and he does well to fend it down off the gloves for a single.
Yikes.

BBC Test Match SpecialThis is some of the tightest cricket you could imagine. Everyone is on the edge of their seats. So, so tense out there.
New ballpublished at 80.2 overs
Jonny Bairstow defends the first two deliveries.
That's enough warm-up for Pat Cummins and Australia take the second new ball.

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialIt was so important that Joe Root was there for the new ball. Just a lapse in concentration, trying to play too square.
They had shown a huge amount of discipline.
