    That was a glorious shot.

  2. Aus 206-6

    Archer sends down a length delivery but doesn't have much cover on the off side so Wade drives with confidence and sweet timing away for four.

  3. Aus 202-6

    And Archer beats Wade's outside edge with a lifting delivery. Great ball.

  4. How's stat?!

    This will be over number seven for Jofra Archer in this spell.

  5. I think if I spent six weeks in the company of Matthew Wade, Nathan Lyon and David Warner, I'd lose my rag too.

    Jofra Archer is going to carry on against Wade...

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

    The series has been played in good spirits. It is like the teams have had enough of each other and it has all come out here at The Oval.

  7. Aus 202-6

    Jack Leach tries to find that line that led to Tim Paine's dismissal and gets very close, the ball turning on to Pat Cummins' pad.

    Big appeal for lbw but Kumar Dhamasena shakes his head. That was missing leg stump.

    That reminded me of Cardiff City last year when Neil Warnock just stared at the referee.

  10. Aus 202-6

    Archer 14-2-49-0

    Tasty. Jofra Archer sends down a 91.2mph yorker that Matthew Wade just about jams his bat down on.

    Well bowled. Well played.

    That's a fine maiden over from Archer.

  11. More of this?

    Yes.

  12. Aus 202-6

    Target 399

    Matthew Wade taps a single off Jack Leach to move to 80.

    Sean Lewis: Can these umpires just let it go? The sledging, gamesmanship and confrontation on the pitch is part of the game. Leave it.

  14. Matthew Wade v Jofra Archer definitely isn't friendly. Great entertainment though.

    I guess Wade can't have a firm grasp of irony if he is upset at Archer potentially changing Big Bash sides.

    Wade has played for Melbourne Stars, Melbourne Renegades and Hobart Hurricanes.

    Archer also won't be playing much Big Bash cricket this year anyway because he'll be on England duties.

  15. Aus 201-6

    Welcome to the middle, Pat Cummins.

    Jofra Archer sends down a fierce short ball that Cummins ends up ducking into, the ball striking him in the ribs.

    Don't forget these two are team-mates in the Big Bash. There were a few whispers at Old Trafford that Jofra Archer is moving to the Adelaide Strikers. I don't think Matthew Wade is impressed.

  17. Aus 200-6

    Yooshk. A sharp bumper from Archer that Wade just about ducks under in time.

  18. Aus 200-6

    And now Archer zips it past Wade's outside edge. That's the ball.

  19. Aus 200-6

    Archer v Wade resumes.

    Archer starts with a bouncer, Wade ducks and there are more stares.
