    Tom Banton likes to open, that's where he feels comfortable for Somerset, so this is different for him having to come in and finish the game.

    Oh, and Buttler celebrates with a dreamy sweep that teases Marcus Stoinis all the way into the boundary rope.

    It's been a stunning knock!

    An aerial push from Jos Buttler but it's gone for four - and that'll be a half-century for the England vice-captain!

    38 balls, six fours, one six. Not bad going...

    Dawid Malan was taking this game away from Australia. It's a long boundary on that side so if you're playing that shot, you need to have leverage.

    That's the breakthrough Australia needed.

    That wasn't in the plan...

    Dawid Malan targets the longest boundary in the ground, getting down and trying to slog Ashton Agar into oblivion. He's through the shot a little quickly, and it's a comfortable catch for Marcus Stoinis, who just has to take three steps forward to claim it.

    One of the things we saw in the Australia innings is that it's a difficult pitch to start on, so one of these two need to bear that in mind and be there at the end.

    And now it's Jos Buttler who picks up four!

    Short, tailing down the leg side from Cummins, and it's so easy for Buttler to swivel and pull him through a diving Ashton Agar in the deep.

    Dawid Malan frees his arms and cracks Pat Cummins away for a meaty four.

    Matthew Acton-Varian: Watching Bairstow's wicket... I am sure we were taught in school PE, not to pirouette with the bat. Perhaps he should switch careers and apply for a role in Swan Lake?

    Ashton Agar whizzes through the rest of his over. 64 from 48 needed.

    These two have shown a lot of patience and they won't take any unnecessary risks.

    Straight away, Dawid Malan goes down for a reverse sweep, but he can only under edge it for one.

    Oh, shot! This time it's Jos Buttler's turn to get down low and reverse sweep gloriously for four.
