Aus 72-3published at 21.3 overs
Down the leg side again from Ben Stokes, and there's no stopping this.
Four byes!
Aus 68-3published at 21.2 overs
Steve Smith almost gets caught out playing across his pad, but an excellent dive from Stuart Broad stops it rolling away to the boundary.
Smith still runs three, though, and the runs are coming easier now...

Oh, four more, but not how Travis Head intended!
He gets a thick edge past Jason Roy at slip and the ball rolls away for four, but he was reaching for that.
Aus 61-3published at 20.4 overs
Shot! Travis Head has a look at Moeen Ali and then hops on to the back foot, shuffles to one side, and drives him gloriously away for four.

Right. A change of pace - here's Moeen Ali.

Tom Fordyce
BBC chief sports writer at EdgbastonSteve Smith has always been a neurotic twitcher of a batsman, the Rafa Nadal of Test cricket, but his enforced absence from the Aussie side seems to have ramped every idiosyncrasy up still further. His leaves are now beyond matador, his self-admonishments relentless. But - like Nadal - if it works, it works.

Whoops.
Travis Head reaches for this last delivery but he gets enough on it to run three down to third man.
Aus 54-3published at 19.4 overs
Short again from Ben Stokes, and again Travis Head can camp on the back foot and slap four away through cover.
That's not the most elegant shot in the book - it was more of a shovel than anything else from Head - but he's got four for it nonetheless.

Four!
Short from Ben Stokes and Travis Head gets up on his toes to carve it square and away to the boundary rope.

Just for the record, we're always up for receiving cake at BBC Sport HQ.
Or gin. Gin works too.

Aus 46-3published at 19 overs
Smith 11, Head 5
That's a better shot from Travis Head, clipping Chris Woakes off his hip, and Steve Smith is alert enough to push through for three runs.
Steve Smith wanders across his stumps and gets enough pad on ball to add four leg byes to the total.
