The spin is there. I think Tim Paine's heart might have sunk a little bit more when he saw that.
Summary

Bowling, Shane.
Marnus Labuschagne gets big fizz out of the rough and the ball misses Ben Stokes' inside edge, just evades the stumps and gets through Tim Paine too for good measure.
Two byes.

A tidy maiden from Josh Hazlewood that Joe Denly just plays out.

Francis Edwards: Denly getting a 100 would be the worst thing in the world. Wasn’t good enough before today - Aussies clearly tired. England love papering over cracks.

Tim Paine does this thing where he appeals like something is certainly out, looks at the umpire in bewilderment when it's not given and then doesn't review it.
Here, Marnus Labuschagne sends down a big turner that hits Ben Stokes' pad as he misses on the sweep and the ball deflects to sub fielder Cameron Bancroft at short leg.
No bat. And missing leg by a mile.

BBC Sport at The OvalSome of the busiest men at The Oval are the 'screen team' in the pavilion. It's their job to make sure there's no movement, especailly when the bowling is at this end. There's lots of "take your seats quickly, please" and "take any available seat". The punters rarely listen.

Ben Stokes runs it off the face for three more.
Runs coming at a decent lick for England right now.
Eng 155-2published at 50.2 overs
Ben Stokes gets down the pitch and tries to flick Josh Hazlewood through mid-wicket but misses and is struck on the pads.
Not much going for this - Stokes a long way down and the ball looked to be sliding past off stump.
Australia opt against the review.

Denly will never get a better chance. You have to make it count.

Denly 67, Stokes 36
No, Joe, not this.
Denly nearly falls twice is as many balls, first almost chipping back to Labuschagne.
And then he miscues a lofted drive and only just about chips the leaping Mitch Marsh at mid-off.
He gets a streaky four. Settle it down.

And he starts with one on the leg stump and Joe Denly glances it fine for four.
That's the 150 up for England.

Marnus Labuschagne is called upon.
Can his part-time wrist-spin make the breakthrough for Australia?

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialWhen you get to about 80 is when you start to think about a hundred. It will still feel a long way off for Denly.

Shot! Shot of the day perhaps.
Joe Denly gets his feet moving nicely, goes back and punches behind point for four.
