Many thanks, Matthew. About par, I reckon. We could be in for a good 'un.
Friday night and all that. Settle in...

Will it be enough? I think it might be closer than you think.
Stephan Shemilt will take you through Australia's chase.

That's a strange-looking England scorecard. Two notable innings and a lot of single-figure scores.

Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's going to be a tough ask for England, but they have the bowlers to do it - and they have been playing a lot more cricket recently.

Without Dawid Malan's 66 England would have been out of this already. They could have done with him just sticking around for the final two overs.

It was looking so good for England when Jos Buttler was smashing the ball to all parts. In the end, the hosts are below par, I reckon.

Just another couple to Jordan.

The England bench applauds Jordan as he comes back for two. Can he find the boundary?

Cummins nails another wide yorker. Rashid looks to the umpire, wanting a wide. He doesn't get his wish.

Pat Cummins will bowl the final over. Good luck getting 165.

Another slower ball from Richardson does the job at the end over. He's taken a remarkable 2-13 from three overs.

Quite right too. Kane Richardson nails a perfect yorker.
