  11. How's stat?!

    Andrew Samson
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    England first wicket partnership was 10 so they have now scored 85 runs for the first wicket in the series at an average of 12.

    Australia's opening partnership has made 62 runs at 8.8.

  12. Eng 22-1

    Ooh, turn for Nathan Lyon, but it's going away from the batsman, and Tim paine has to stretch to his left to stop the ball going for byes.

    Lovely again from Rory Burns, leaning back and pushing a couple through backward point. Ten from Lyon's first over!

  13. Eng 20-1

    Rory Burns cuts again, not as convincingly this time, but he under-edges past his stumps, through Tim Paine's legs, and away for four.

  18. Eng 10-1

  19. Glenn McGrath
    Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Wade got a little bit of luck but his reflexes were good enough to cling onto the ball.

  20. Craig Overton is out as nightwatchman.

    I feel cheated on Jack Leach's behalf.
