    I think that is the best course of action for England. They have had a bit of a dart and no-one got injured.

    It is all over. 399 to win. There were some entertaining blows.

    Leach c Hazlewood b Lyon 9 (Eng 329 all out)

    Jack Leach goes for one big sweep too many.

    A top edge off Nathan Lyon flies straight up and Josh Hazlewood pouches it running round from mid-on.

    So Australia will need 399 runs to win the Ashes 3-1.

    England need 10 wickets to draw the Ashes 2-2.

    Game on.

    I'd throw Warner the ball against Broad. Might brighten his series up.

    John in Nibley.

    It is like range-hitting. Broad knows what is going to come and he has a good eye.

    Pat Cummins does lower his sights nearer the timbers as Stuart Broad swings and misses at a couple of length deliveries.

    It is so telegraphed. Cummins can't bowl anything else with this field.

    Pat Cummins is bowling to Stuart Broad with six men on the boundary. What happened to the top of off stump?

    Lead by 398

    Trouble is, you can only bowl short with this field so Stuart Broad knows what is coming.

    And he clatters another six, this time into the stands!

    Heck of a blow that.

    I haven't seen this field for a long time. Smith is literally at long stop.

  12. Postpublished at 11:15 British Summer Time 15 September 2019

    Steve Smith has moved to backstop behind Tim Paine.

    I'm not kidding.

    A truly bizarre field. Australia have four men spread around ready to catch Stuart Broad out hooking.

    That went miles up! Broad knew what was coming. It was like someone hacking a tree down.

    Stuart Broad takes on a Pat Cummins short ball and smacks a hook shot over the rope behind deep mid-wicket.

    Hilarious. What a shot!

    I don't think anyone rates Jofra Archer as an oustanding batsman.

    But he's definitely better than this.

    He has, as Sussex coach Jason Gillespie said on The Debate last night, 'under-clubbed' in Test cricket so far.

    Let's be honest here, Jofra Archer probably isn't the outstanding batsman everyone thinks he is and we should stop stop putting pressure on him to perform.

    Leach 9, Broad 0

    Jack Leach slices away, sets off and then realises Stuart Broad is going nowhere so scampers back.

    A clip round the corner sees both set off before realising there is no single on and both get back.

    A maiden for Nathan Lyon.

    Lead by 386

    Stuart Broad gets a load of short ball and tries to hook them into the stands and misses every time.

    Of course.

    Nathan Lyon was lurking down on the boundary signing autographs when Tim Paine reviewed that and ended up having to run over to join in the celebrations.

    Archer will say to his dying day he didn't hit this.
