Fourth Test, day three, Old Trafford
Australia will retain Ashes with win
Mitchell Starc's absence from the first three Tests of the series has caused bemusement from some - me included - but this is what Australia feared.
He is leaking runs.
Joe Root now tickles him off his hip down to fine leg for four.

It's almost like picking the bloke who got 1,000 Championship runs in five successive seasons was a good idea, better than a 'weighted average' or an ability to whack a white ball.

Rory Burns has middled most of his boundaries today. This one is the only one I can remember that didn't go quite where he aimed.
I'm a fan.
Joe Root scores a run! Two of them in fact. A sweep off Nathan Lyon.

All the other openers on both teams average under 11.
Be honest, when Rory Burns was playing like a man groping for a light switch in the dark against Ireland, did you really think he'd do this well against Australia?

He's the only opener who has done well this series.

A fairly muted celebration from Burns but enthusiastic applause around Old Trafford.
Well batted, sir. Rory Burns gives a little wave of the bat as the Manchester crowd applauds his half-century.
It is brought up by another boundary, a glide through the gully to third man.

That gives Starc something to think about...
Even better! Rory Burns with a back foot drive for four off Mitchell Starc.

There have been a few grumbles about playing Test cricket in Manchester in September but one well-known coffee shop with a branch in the stadium will be hoping for more autumn matches. A ludicrous queue round the shop every time I’ve walked past.
As Andrew says, Rory Burns is doing all of the scoring at the moment. He drives two more off Mitchell Starc. The Surrey opener really is cementing himself into this team.

Oh Joseph. That is hideous. England's skipper has been pinned down by Nathan Lyon and he goes for a swipe at a full ball. He gets an inside edge and the ball only just evades his stumps.
Very lucky.

The fifty partnership came up in 118 balls with seven fours.
Crikey. No pressure there then! I'll do my best.
