    There is an actual lilo doing the rounds in the party stand now.

    He got in such a bad position. His foot movement now is going to be hesitant.

    Oh, great ball! Pat Cummins goes short and it's awkward for Joe Root, who gets into a tangle and gets struck on the glove as he tries to fend it down. He's got into a horrible position, actually, and he's done well not to step on his stumps.

    Cummins zips a superb delivery over Root's stumps to end the over. He has bowled so, so well today.

    Rachel T: Steve Smith wanted that review. Not so perfect after all eh?

    The umpires are twitching about the amount of time this is taking.

    Joe Root has his pad back on. He doesn't look too happy. Marnus Labuschagne, meanwhile, has just shown the camera the handwarmer things he keeps in his pockets. Sensational.

    He's getting a massage from the physio.

    The physio is wafting Joe Root's knee up and down which does not look pleasant.

    The physio is coming out.

    It was the delivery that Australia sent upstairs that has done Joe Root a mischief. It struck Joe Root flush on the knee.

  15. ouch!

    Joe Root is hobbling about after being struck by Pat Cummins at the start of the over.

    He's got hold of his knee. This, er, isn't good...

    Joe Root is full on taking the mick now, as he leans back and runs the ball down to third man, past Steve Smith at third slip, past the fielder who has been put there just for that shot and picks up four.

    I reckon there should be a $100 fine for every review you muck up - that goes to the umpires' retirement fund. Too many are unnecessarily reviewed.

    And it's missing!

    Might be worth taking Tim Paine off DRS duty. Justin Langer is significantly unimpressed in the dressing room.

    It's hit him outside the line...
