  1. Jack Leach will be disappointed to have only picked up one wicket so far, as many as Joe Root.

    A turning day four pitch is when your frontline spinner should come to the fore.

    He returns to the attack now. Can he pick up at least a couple of wickets to boost his confidence?

    My wife is Brazilian - when we met she didn't even know what cricket was. Today, she told me 'Test cricket is not dead'. Brought a tear to my eye. I've done my bit.

  6. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at The Oval

    A post-tea malaise has taken hold of The Oval. Crowd not as loud, bowling not as threatening, atmosphere more sedate. One more wicket should see this done tonight. Remember, we can take an extra half an hour if required.

  7. Aus 188-5

    Sam Curran strays straight and Tim Paine flicks it fine for four.

    England a bit sloppy to start the session.

    Mr Erasmus is rarely wrong. A good decision.

  9. Not out

    Poor review. Pitching an inch outside leg. Joe Root should've said no.

    England have no reviews left.

    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Marais is rarely wrong. It's going to be outside leg...

  11. England review

    Jofra Archer gets it through onto Matthew Wade's pads. Big appeal but not given.

    Pitched outside leg.

    Oh. England are reviewing. Not smart.

  12. Aus 181-5

    Archer slides down leg and the ball flicks off Paine's thigh pad, beyond Bairstow's grasp and away for four leg byes.

    Wade is playing belligerently, which he might as well. There's no point just blocking it out.

  14. Aus 176-5

    Matthew Wade greets a full ball from Jofra Archer with a superb square drive to find the fence.

    I had coronation chicken sandwiches at tea - it's always a risk to eat coronation chicken, I think.

  16. Aus 172-5

    Target 399

    Matthew Wade taps a single and Sam Curran rather spoils his over by sending down a low full toss that Tim Paine dispatches through the covers for four.

  17. Aus 167-5

    Wade 60, Paine 10

    Sam Curran to start after tea and Matthew Wade greets his first ball with a firm drive for no run.

  18. Cheers Matt, a lovely innings from yourself there.

    To tell the truth, this could be the last time.

    Or will we be back tomorrow?

    Players out on the field. Glorious sunshine still. England need five wickets.

  19. Jack Skelton is here to take this day to the close.

    If this is the last time we speak this summer, it has been a blast.

  20. I love stories like these. Regardless of what has happened in the Ashes, this summer has been brilliant.
