Jim Maxwell
BBC Test Match SpecialThat's the fast bouncer!
Aus 135-5published at 31 overs
Smith 60, Maxwell 7
That's better! A deep "oooooooo" from the crowd as Maxwell has to niftily bend at the knees to avoid a quicker one from Archer.

Phil Tufnell
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThat was a leg cutter bouncer. I wouldn't bother with those, Jofra. Just bowl your quick stuff.
Aus 131-5published at 30.3 overs
Maxwell can do crazy things when he comes off. He's Australia's Buttler.
Archer isn't quite up to his full pace yet and Maxwell pulls him hard for four. Crank it up, Jof!

Just when Australia were starting to look good, Adil Rashid put England right back on top...

Jofra's back. Rapid pace at one end, tricky leg-spin at the other.

BBC Sport at EdgbastonThe Australia balcony is full of players and staff, all unmoved as Steve Smith tries to drag them back into this game. David Warner, out hours ago, is still in his kit, sitting next to Ricky Ponting. Ponting is giving an unfortunate piece of chewing gum a torrid time.

A fine over from Rashid. He could have had Maxwell out twice. I don't think the Aussie all-rounder is picking him.
Aus 130-5published at 29.4 overs
Those wickets have made Adil Rashid two foot taller. Maxwell is poking and edging. The crowd senses the moment.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialGood captaincy from Eoin Morgan to get the slip in. It's spinning.
Aus 130-5published at 29.2 overs
Almost! Adil Rashid rips one, finds the edge of Glenn Maxwell's bat but the ball is just out of Joe Root's reach at slip.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialSteve Smith just seems to enjoy pressure. We still don't really know how to get him out.
Aus 127-5published at 29 overs
Smith 58, Maxwell 1
Steve Smith just keeps on going at the other end. Absolutely zero foot movement but he drives Stokes to the boundary.
He's keeping the Aussies in it.

Scott Clark: If England's target starts with a '2' then I may have to lie down in a darkened, soundproof room for the rest of the day.
Aus 122-5published at 28.4 overs
Maxwell is off the mark second ball after missing a yorker from Stokes on his first.
I can't help but think of Geoffrey after that last over from Rashid. 'Add two wickets to the score'. How many times has he said that?

Steve Waugh
Former Australia captain on Test Match SpecialGlenn Maxwell has to play his way. This could be the defining moment of his career. He should use two or three overs to get the pace of the pitch first though.
Aus 120-5published at 28.1 overs
Well that over has changed things again! Well bowled, Adil Rashid. Here is Glenn Maxwell and these two are Australia's last proper batsmen.
Maxwell has not fired in this tournament but if he comes off it could be sensational. England will know that.

Former Australia captain on Test Match SpecialBeautifully bowled and a lack of concentration from Stoinis. You have to prepare for Rashid's wrong 'un.
