    It was a good contest. Give the points to Wade. He is still there.

  2. Noooo.

    Archer's spell is over.

    Great contest. You have to give it to Wade on points.

  3. Aus 221-6

    Cummins sees out a Leach maiden.

  4. Aus 221-6

    Jack Leach gets it on to Pat Cummins' pads. Big appeal from Jonny Bairstow but nothing doing.

    Going down leg. Leach wasn't interested.

    Jim: Is anyone else getting a trifle nervous? England need quick wickets.

  6. Aus 221-6

    Wade 96, Cummins 2

    Archer strays down leg but Wade can't connect.

    Is that the end of the battle?

  7. Aus 221-6

    Archer goes for the pads and Wade clips it superbly through wide mid-on for four.

    He's on to 96...one hit away.

  8. Aus 217-6

    Jofra Archer bangs down a short ball and Jonny Bairstow leaps high to make a fine stop.

  9. Aus 217-6

    Jofra Archer sends down the knuckle ball but it's wide and ends up as a full toss.

    Matthew Wade can only guide it to a fielder. No run.

  10. Aus 217-6

    Matthew Wade toes ends an edge along the ground to Ben Stokes at first slip.

    Jofra Archer gives him some sarcastic applause and says, "Well played."

  11. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    Burns leapt in the air like a goalkeeper.

  12. Aus 217-6

    Close! Matthew Wade tries to work it into the leg side and sends a leading edge looping just over the leaping Rory Burns at gully.

    Bonus boundary. Wade on to 92.

  13. Archer on for an eighth straight over.

    Here we go...

    Ian B: Only right and proper that Paine's last review should be horrific.

  15. England very happy not to get burned for losing their reviews here.

  16. Aus 213-6

    Wade 88, Cummins 2

    Pat Cummins defends and pops it up but out of reach of the close catchers.

    He's then beaten on the outside edge before flicking uncertainly round the corner to finally get off the mark with a couple.

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

    It is a good contest. Wade is playing well. He is digging in and fighting. Jofra Archer is bowling the speeds that this side needs from him.

  18. Aus 211-6

    Another fierce lifting delivery from Jofra Archer but Matthew Wade again plays it well, fending the ball down.

    Great contest. Wade not intimidated and Archer bowling fire.

  19. Aus 211-6

    Oh dear.

    Matthew Wade tickles it fine and gets a bonus four as Ben Stokes and Sam Curran make a hash of it by the rope.

    Archer holds his hands out, clearly frustrated.

    Yikes. That delivery was 95.6mph.

  20. Aus 207-6

    Jofra Archer hits Matthe Wade on the arm with a vicious short ball that the Aussie batsman misjudged.

    Archer tucks his arms behind his back and runs down the pitch nodding at Wade.

    Oh, it was a no-ball!

    At least that gives Archer one more at Wade.
