  1. Aus 170-7

    Well bowled, young man!

    Curran does the right thing and goes for the yorker. Peter Siddle jams down on it and gets four. No hat-trick but Curran has swung this game in England's favour.

    Oli: Never ever ever drop Sam Curran.

  3. The crowd is up. Curran is loving it. Here we go...

  4. Peter Siddle will face the hat-trick ball.

    Sam Curran gets swing in the air. That always causes confusion but it can do something off the pitch as well.

    That's a very, very, very hopeful review.

    WICKET

    Cummins lbw b Curran 0 (Aus 166-7)

    Sam Curran is a star. He's on a hat-trick against Australia.

    It's a perfect left-armer's wicket. The one they dream of. Swing back into the pads and plumb lbw.

  8. No bat.

  9. This is surely out.

  10. Jim Maxwell

    Absolutely plumb!

  11. Australia review

    TWO IN TWO!

    Sam Curran is away celebrating.

    Cummins is given out first ball lbw. It looked out but Cummins reviews.

    England have to find a way to get Sam Curran in their Test side more.

    This will be fascinating to see how Smith can marshal the lower order. He's been marooned, not scoring runs.

  14. Smith hasn't scored for 19 balls. Australia have got stuck as Archer and Curran turn the screw. Can they get another? Pat Cummins is the new batsman.

  15. Sir Geoffrey Boycott
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    Pressure is the key to all Test cricket. But pressure is even greater than normal to these two batting sides.

    WICKET

    Paine c Bairstow b Curran 1 (Aus 166-6)

    There he goes! Sam Curran gets the Australia skipper.

    The 21-year-old has deserved that so, so much. It's full and swinging and Tim Paine nicks behind.

    England are into the bowlers.

  17. Sir Geoffrey Boycott
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    Mark Nicholas has kept saying to me this series, "Sam Curran was man of the series against India last summer, how is he not getting a game?"

    Well quite.

  18. Aus 166-5

    This is brilliant bowling from young Sam Curran. Tim Paine doesn't know if it's coming or going.

  19. Jim Maxwell
    BBC Test Match Special

    I can see Jofra Archer doing in Australia what some of the great English fast bowlers have done - the likes of John Snow and Frank Tyson.

    He could be a match-winner in that series in two years' time with enough support.

  20. It goes without saying that this could prove very costly.
