Kal Sajad

  1. Aus 288-8

    Brilliant bowling from Woakes, a slower ball which Zampa doesn't pick up.

  2. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    He was miles out.

  3. Aus 288-8

    Starc swats it down to Joe Root at mid-off, they go for a quick single, a direct hit from Joe Root and Australia would have been nine down.

  4. Aus 287-8

    Zampa squirts it out to point for a single, bringing Mitchell Starc on strike. Four balls left, what damage can he do?

  5. Aus 286-8

    It's Chris Woakes, it's a slow leg cutter and a play and miss from Zampa. Dot ball. Woakes is laughing, not entirely sure why. But there have been a lot of laughs today!

  6. Aus 286-8

    Zampa moves to the leg side as Wood comes in, the England seamer follows him and Zampa is hit on the thigh. He winces a little as he comes through for a single.

    A play and a miss from Starc off Wood's last delivery will mean Zampa will stay on strike for the final over of this Australia innings.

  7. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Zampa's job is to get Starc on strike.

  8. Aus 283-8

    Mark Wood goes full, outside off, and it's dug out by Starc for a single.

    And then it's all smiles and giggles as Zampa prods back past the bowler, Wood should have fielded it easily but had fallen over on his follow through. The subsequent throw from Chris Woakes, at mid-off, nearly floors Wood for a second time in the matter of seconds.

  9. Aus 282-8

    Archer 10-0-57-3

    Mitchell Starc plays a terrific on-drive for four off Archer's first ball. A single brings Zampa on strike who is off the mark with two more.

    Starc ends the over, and Archer's final delivery of his allocated 10, by fending off a short ball for another quick single.

  10. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    It was a good innings. With Maxwell, he built this innings. It was a full, straight ball, with a little bit of reverse swing.

  11. Adam Zampa the new man in. He's some character.

  12. Amy Lofthouse
    BBC Sport at Emirates Old Trafford

    Mitchell Marsh was basically off the pitch by the time the review was finished.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    Marsh lbw b Wood 73 (Aus 273-8)

    Yep, that was out all day long! Marsh was just looking to play towards mid-wicket and was struck cleanly on the pads, no bat involved.

    Will the Aussies make it to that 300 mark?

  14. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It looks dead.

  15. Umpire review

    Aus 273-7

    Wood strikes Marsh on the pads. Given out, Australia review. I think he's gone.

  16. Aus 268-7

    Mitchell Marsh pulls Mark Wood down to deep square for two and then misses out on a gimme, it was going down leg and all it needed was a little tickle for four.

    Another single from Starc and that's four runs from Wood's first three deliveries.

  17. Amy Lofthouse
    BBC Sport at Emirates Old Trafford

    Sam Billings went chasing after that ball like Road Runner. He then had to walk back facing the giant screen, which was showing a slow-mo replay of him dropping the ball. Ouch.

  18. Aus 264-7

    Archer completes his over by conceding a single to Marsh and two more to Cummins.

  19. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    He covered great ground. It went high. He's got there and he'll be disappointed with that.

  20. dropped catch

    Starc dropped on 1

    Nearly another for Archer. A brilliant effort from Sam Billings who runs in from the mid-wicket boundary but just can't hold on. Mitchell Starc survives.
