BBC Test Match SpecialAll the bowlers and slips went up in unison. This is a big moment in the game.

Khawaja is beaten on the outside edge, everyone behind the bat goes up...
...and Joe Root reviews it! This is England's last review!

Smith 9, Khawaja 13
On the pads again from Ben Stokes, and it's an easy nudge away from Usman Khawaja, and Smith whips out his crabby defence to end the over.

Usman Khawaja looks ominiously comfortable as he clips a gimme from Stokes through mid-wicket for four.
That's instantly followed by an lbw shout, Khawaja falling over as he comes forward, but Aleem Dar shakes his head straight away.

Off go the drinks and on, by the looks of things, comes Ben Stokes.

For Jake in Bath 11:31 If your learn anything from your work experience it must be how to conceal listening to TMS whilst expertly feigning productivity.

Jake in Bath, I can think of no greater work experience than pretending to look busy while following the live text. Invaluable life skill you're learning today, son.

Right then, time for drinks.
Here's what has gone down this morning.

When I watch Steve Smith bat, I'm instantly transported to the 2017-18 series, and sitting in this same office, in the middle of the night, watching him endlessly walk across his stumps and nurdle singles here and there.

Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialI don't know why Joe Root has gone to just two slips so soon. Are they just trying to target Steve Smith's pads?
Aus 30-2published at 12.3 overs
A clonk of a drive from Usman Khawaja, the ball teasing Stuart Broad as he flicks it away from the boundary rope, and Khawaja and Steve Smith settle themselves with three.
A picture of a daschund is now holding up play. I love cricket.

Ah, James Anderson is back on the field!
And he looks fine as he throws himself to his left at cover to stop an Usman Khawaja drive rolling away for four.

Two cheats down, one to go. Broad is on a Cheat-trick.

Steve Smith lets the rest of the over go flying past his off stump before he jams his bat down on a fuller delivery from Broad.

Olly Stone is on as sub for - I think - James Anderson. Hmm.
Stuart Broad picks up where he left off with two deliveries that slice past Steve Smith's outside edge, but Smith wanders across and gets enough bat on ball to nurdle an unconvincing four through third man.
