    The bowling has also been exceptional and there has been just enough in all the pitches to reward good bowling.

  2. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    The batting from both sides, with one or two exceptions, is awful. The only way they would play out a five-day draw is because of weather delays.

  3. Aus 205-8

    Siddle 16, Lyon 8

    This partnership is now worth an annoying 18. Almost half the ground is in shade now. There are 45 minutes left in the day.

    Phil: Are the 80s the new 140s for Smith?

  5. Aus 205-8

    Siddle continues to frustrate England.

    Jofra Archer goes for his fearsome yorker but it's dug out. Siddle then hits one away through point for four. England need to wrap this up.

  6. No your eyes are not deceiving you.

    Steve Smith missed a ball!

  7. Aus 201-8

    Nathan Lyon goes for a big old swipe at the end of the over but fails to connect.

  8. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    England have bowled really well but there haven't been many unplayable deliveries. It has been some really poor technical play by Australia's batsmen.

  9. Aus 201-8

    It's that time where the cameras start focusing on the openers in the field. New dad Joe Denly looks calm.

  10. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    England have got to pick up these last two wickets quickly and get a really healthy lead. They don't want a 40-run partnership now.

  11. Aus 201-8

    The crowd is waiting in anticipation for wickets but these two are playing some good shots. England need to knock the tail over. Three more to Siddle.

  12. Aus 198-8

    Siddle 9, Lyon 8

    Get the yorker in, Jof.

    No luck this time for England's fast bowler on his return to the attack.

    Iain F: Good news: Smith is out. Bad news: England probably facing 'a tricky few overs' before the close of play now. And we know how they usually go...

  14. Aus 198-8

    Archer only needs one more for a five-wicket haul.

    He'll fancy his chances with nine and 10 at the crease and 11 to come. Siddle can bat, though. He drives a three.

  16. How's stat?!

    Andrew Samson
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Steve Smith has now scored 751 runs at an average of 125.16 and has batted 1,854 minutes, just short of 31 hours.

  17. Aus 195-8

    Trail by 99 runs

    Urgh. England did not want that. Chris Woakes looks a little dispirited at the end of the over after Nathan Lyon drives him away for a second time.

    England's lead is now down into double figures.

  18. Aus 191-8

    Lyon gets off the mark with a streaky four. I still can't believe that. Smith is out. It's his lowest score of the series.

    Over the hill.

    Alex Cunningham: Is that the first time in 5 years Steve Smith has missed one on his legs?

    Harvey Waywell: Steve Smith is walking back to the pavilion for some reason...Is it the close of play?

    Sam Carney: Only 82 and 80 in his last two innings. Reckon Steve Smith might be past his best.

  20. Does that go down as a failure for Smith? Regardless, England now have a big chance to gain a first-innings lead.

    Australia only have two wickets left. Nathan Lyon is the new man.
