    Every run Australia take, they are scampering through.

  5. Aus 139-5published at 17.2 overs

    Target 163

    Aaron Finch looks worried. Steve Smith is on an exercise bike. Ashton Agar pinches one to cover. Too easy to take the single. 24 from 16.

    This is a crucial over. If Australia have a good over, thery are in a really, really strong position to finish this game.

  8. Aus 137-5published at 17 overs

    Target 163

    Wood all done with 1-31. 26 from 18 is the equation. Tom Curran will bowl the next and last. Jordan with the 19th, probably.

  10. Aus 136-5published at 16.5 overs

    Target 163

    Stoinis squirts to third man for a couple. He's got biceps like hams. I bet he gives a good cuddle.

    Fantastic bowling. Now England have a big sniff. And you can tell they know it as well.

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 16.3 overs

    Carey b Wood 1 (Aus 133-5)

    Bowled him! Can you believe this? Stumps everywhere. Wood bowling like a train. Australia have lost four wickets for nine runs. England are bang in this game.

  17. Aus 133-4published at 16.2 overs

    Target 163

    Mark Wood. Steaming in. Above 90mph. Two dots to begin. Pressure builds.

    Dave Rawlings: Steve Smith out for less than 100 in England. 2020 really is crazy.

  19. Aus 133-4published at 16 overs

    Target 163

    Archer is bowling at 92mph. Ashton Agar is in next. Longish tail. End of Archer's spell. 2-33. 30 needed from 24 balls. Game on.

  20. Aus 131-4published at 15.3 overs

    Target 163

    Looking again, Warner actually played on. Alex Carey is the new man. Two batsmen on nought...
