    Denly c Wade b Cummins 4 (Eng 10-1)

    Oh, that's an unreal grab at short leg!

    Brilliant from Matthew Wade. Joe Denly turns the ball into his pad, it balloons up into the air. Wade gets both hands to it, spills it, and then dives backwards, sticking out the right mitt and clinging on with one hand.

    My goodness. That was a very good delivery.

    A fend from Joe Denly, and he just about avoids edging behind!

    Oh, a ripper from Pat Cummins, nipping through Denly's bat and pad, and I've got no idea how that has missed the stumps. A superb diving take from Tim Paine, tumbling to his left, stops it rolling away for byes.

    Sharp bounce from Josh Hazlewood and Rory Burns somehow avoids fending it through to Tim Paine.

    Hazlewood whistle down an almighty no ball and Burns lets the final delivery zip through to the keeper.

    England 9-0. At this stage, Australia were 9-1!

    Craig Overton is padded up in the dressing room, which means Jack Leach has been demoted from nightwatchman duty!

    Rory Burns leaves, leaves and leaves some more outside his off stump. Only 20 minutes or so to go...

    Cameron Bancroft, walking around the edge of the boundary, is getting booed.

    Rory Burns pushes and pushes nicely through the off side to pick up three.

    Oh, shot! Joe Denly cuts furiously off the back foot and some well-timed running adds another three to the total. The runs are flowing, what were we all worried about? Ahem...

    Well then. Mitchell Starc has been a bit wasteful and he's been yanked out of the attack as a result.

    Here's Pat Cummins, who I think has got Rory Burns a few times in this series...

    Another play and miss from Joe Denly!

    He's beaten outside his off stump to end the over. Testing times.

    After last time Australia aren't going to be quick to review anything!

    Please stop pushing outside your off stump, Joe. It's not good for anyone's nerves.

    Josh Hazlewood is exquisite. Beautiful line, troubling length, and he beats Denly for pace to strike him on the back leg. Hazlewood appeals but I think that's going down.

    Another run!

    Rapturous applause as Rory Burns gets himself off the mark.

    Joe Denly gets smacked in the stomach by a lifter from Mitch Starc to end the over.

    Denly... doesn't play a short ball well. He takes his eyes off the ball and gets into a nasty position. It's like target practice for Starc.

    That has got to hurt. There is not much padding or protection on the wrist.

    After some wide nonsense, Mitchell Starc finally finds a short ball that rattles Joe Denly, who plays it horribly. Denly tucks his head into his neck, eyes looking in the opposite direction, and he gets smashed on the wrist for his trouble. That'll hurt.
