    The last Steve to terrorise England, Mr Waugh, is hitting short leg catches at Matthew Wade during the changeover. The way Australia's day has gone, he'll probably take a blinder to remove one of the England openers in about 10 minutes.

    It's amazing how quick as an England fan you come back down to earth. From the tremendous highs of that last Test to this which is a new low. They have gifted Australia here. Those papered cracks have been torn open once again. Woeful.

  5. Joe Root, Joe Denly and Rory Burns all go running off together. Root's confident, then...

    Joe Denly will be feeling pretty sick in his stomach. England's openers are going to have to go out there and bat for their lives.

  7. Mitch Starc goes tearing off with an unbeaten 54 from 58 balls to his name, while Nathan Lyon has a run-a-ball 26.

  8. Australia declare on 497-8

    Good luck, England.

  9. Is that it...?

  10. Aus 496-8

    That's a brilliant shot!

    Down the pitch dances Nathan Lyon and with a huge heave of the arms he swings Joe Root up and over for four.

    For a while England haven't had a bowler who can blow away the tail. I had Ian Botham and always knew it wouldn't be long before he got them out. That is a great feeling for an opener.

  12. Aus 492-8

    Tim Paine has stuck his head out of the window...

  13. Aus 490-8

    Nathan Lyon plays a brilliantly filthy sweep, misses the ball, and it beats Jonny Bairstow and Stuart Broad on its way down to the boundary for five byes.

    Lyon will love bowling on this pitch.

  14. Tim Paine was stood gazing out through the dressing room windows but he's wandered away...

    Stephen McCormack: Poor bowling, poor fielding, Poor performance so far. England must bat for 2 and half days to save the match. Time to stand strong. Any one out hooking is dropped for the Oval.

    England have lost control in this final session.

    Make it stop.

    I think Australia will try and get 500 and then have a dart.

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    That was an uncontrolled swipe.

  20. Aus 458-8

    Matthew Henry, sat next to me, looks utterly disconsolate.

    He's even less impressed as Nathan Lyon has a huge heave at Jofra Archer, gets a massive top edge, and somehow gets the ball past Ben Stokes down on the boundary for four.
