Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThis will mean a lot to England, to beat Australia in the first match - to be able to come back from what was a dire position.

Incredible win by England!
Tom Curran holds his nerve and Stoinis can only dig out a yorker for a couple.

BBC Test Match SpecialWell done Chris Jordan - the presence of mind, mid-appeal, to run down the wicket and run him out.

Agar run out 4 (Aus 148-6)
Out!
Incredible.
England asked for lbw against Stoinis - not out. Australia tried to pinch a leg bye, but Jordan was through to underarm at the stumps. No dive from Agar, out by the finest margin.
15 needed from six. Pat Cummins the new man.

Aus 148-5
Missing leg stump by miles. What about the run-out?
