So Steve Smith is 14 not out and Marnus Labuschagne is unbeaten on 32.
This is like if Dr Evil and Mini-Me had been competent.

End of twitter postLunch - Aus 55-2published at 13:04 British Summer Time 13 September 2019
Trail by 239
A single for Death, a single for Taxes and Sam Curran changes angle to go round the wicket to Death.
Curran slides the last ball down leg and Death leaves it alone.
Australia recover from a shaky start to go into lunch 55-2, trailing by 239.

Sam Curran to bowl the final over before lunch.
Death on strike.

Is that a nickname for just Steve Smith or Smith and Marnus Labuschagne?
Smith is Death and Labuschagne is Taxes right?
Might go with it from now on.

Just let me know when Death and Taxes are no longer at the crease.

Aus 53-2published at 18 overs
Labuschagne 31, Smith 14
Is this the consequence of Chris Woakes being curiously underused at other times during the series?
His rhythm is all off.
Better last up though as he gets a bit of lift that Marnus Labuschagne just about fends down.

BBC Sport at The OvalSub fielder Jason Roy still has the smear that appeared at Old Trafford on his jumper. He'd get pelters in club cricket for turning up with dirty whites.
Aus 53-2published at 17.3 overs
Chris Woakes is sending down some garbage on the pads.
Marnus Labuschagne whips it through mid-wicket for four to take Australia past 50.
Aus 49-2published at 17 overs
Trail by 245
Steve Smith leaves another ball that ends up hitting his pads, again outside the line of the stumps.
Not convincing. But then again he always seems to plot a way through the tough periods.
Much better from Sam Curran - that's a maiden.

BBC Sport at The OvalHalf of the people next to me got out of their seats to join in those Sam Curran lbw appeals against Steve Smith. Closer and closer...
Aus 49-2published at 16.2 overs
Oh heck. Steve Smith shoulders arms to another and is struck on the pads again.
A loud appeal but nothing doing. That was sliding past off stump.
Smith is looking uneasy against the left-hander.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialSmith doesn't look quite as comfortable against the left-arm seamer.
It looked good. Just a bit high.
Aus 49-2published at 12:52 British Summer Time 13 September 2019
Ooooooh. Big appeal for lbw as Sam Curran curves one back into Steve Smith's pads.
Not given. Will England review? They decide not to after a long chat.
Probably going over.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialChris Woakes needs to sort the radar out and get into his rhythm. He will be feeling the pressure a little bit.
Aus 49-2published at 16 overs
This is a poor start from Chris Woakes.
Another ball down the leg side and Marnus Labuschagne flicks it fine off his hips for four.
Aus 45-2published at 15.2 overs
After a delay, Chris Woakes' second delivery is crisply clipped through mid-wicket for four.
England should have learned by now - nothing on the pads to these two.
