Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialEngland will be looking for 165-170. With the likes of Moeen and Rashid to bowl in the middle overs, they will feel like they are in the game.

Paul Stubbs: This England batting performance demonstrates the value of someone like Joe Root against spin. Given his performance in the last T20 World Cup in India there is no way he should be left out given the next one's also in India!

No, Curran absolutely has not. Carey hit the bails with his gloves, which makes you wonder why he didn't just say so.

Has Tom Curran stood on his stumps?

Glenn Maxwell has 2-11, which won't quieten the cries for Joe Root's inclusion.

Moeen scored 61 the other day?

Daniel Seal: There must be a long highlights reel of brainless Moeen Ali dismissals!!
Paul Carney: Wow. Moeen is the king of soft dismissals.
Peterfeet: Aahhh the old normal from Moeen Ali. He really is hapless. 1 swallow never makes a summer. Get him dropped.

Malan's head drops when he misses out on one he thinks should have gone the distance.
Five overs to go. 150 is the absolute minimum England need.
Agar finishes with two wickets. Maxwell has two too. Spin is the way to go on this pitch.

England's hopes seemingly rest on Dawid Malan. While he's still in there they could get to a decent score.
The left-hander cuts and finds the gap. Much needed.

Ex-England women's batter on BBC Test Match SpecialThis is good from Australia. It would have been good for Moeen to back up what he did for Pakistan. This might be a chance for Malan.

England wouldn't have wanted Tom Curran to be coming in at this stage when they picked their bowler-heavy line-up.

Moeen c Zampa b Maxwell 2 (Eng 108-5)
These are worrying times for England now. Moeen gets a top edge on a reverse sweep and Adam Zampa gobbles up the catch at short third man.
England are five down and there's not much to come.
