  1. Here is the moment that could haunt England forever if they go on to lose this match. You cannot be giving Steve Smith an extra life like this.

    A day and a half into this match, the first England song has come from the stands.

  3. Aus 296-5

    Smith 130, Paine 28

    The new ball fails to bring in change of fortune for England in Broad's first over. There's not a lot to get excited about in truth.

    Jofra Archer will share the new cherry.

    Why isn't my BBC wicket notification working?

  5. Aus 296-5

    Short and wide from Broad. Slapped for four. You can't bowl there to anyone.

  6. Aus 292-5

    The short leg comes in for Tim Paine. He's surely not going to hit another pull to square leg?

  7. Oh, Mike...

    Mike Bell: Spare a thought. Stopped to fill up with petrol just as I heard Steve Smith being caught at slip. Filled up tank cheerfully, went into pay, came out, he was back in. And I had put diesel in the petrol tank. Waiting for the AA (other breakdown services are available).

  9. 'Headingley feels a long time ago'

    Stephan Shemilt

    That last hour at Headingley, when literally everything went England's way, feels a long time ago. In this hour since lunch, everything has gone against them - mainly through their own errors. They need something with the second new ball.

    New ball taken

    England take the new ball immediately and Stuart Broad removes his sweater.

    I don't need to tell you that England desperately need this to work.

  11. Aus 290-5

    An over far less impressive than his first from Joe Denly. The new ball is now available.

    I'm not sure how to feel right now. Got given an extra pecan slice at Gatwick Airport, when watched in anguish with most of the attendees at the Gatwick Wetherspoon's as the Smith wicket was overturned. Have I broken even or would I have happily traded my extra pecan slice for the Smith wicket?

    I think Smith is getting bored now. He's definitely trying to see how close he can get to being out, without actually being out. Living on the edge, so to speak.

  15. Aus 288-5

    Is that a spot of rain I see on the camera lens? I think so.

    Jack Leach, surely still feeling a little guilty, is milked for a few singles in his latest over.

    Jon Barbuti: With his eyesight, Smith probably saw it was a no ball and edged to slip deliberately to demoralise England.

  17. I haven't even had chance to show you the Jason Roy drop in all of the commotion. England have had their chances since lunch.

  18. Aus 285-5

    Smith 125, Paine 22

    I shouldn't have doubted the masterplan. It's a maiden from Joe Denly.

    It looks like Tim Paine is just trying to settle Steve Smith down. There are two overs to go until the new ball and it has got gloomy again.

    That was a muppet moment from Jack Leach.
