    That went near my car that!

  2. Eng 114-4

    Great over for England. And for Sam Billings. First, he gloves a short, leg-side delivery from Cummins over the 'keeper for four. And he then top edges one, in the same direction, but this time it goes over the advertising hoardings and into the car park for six.

    Sam Billings will want a big score against somebody like Australia - those runs against Ireland, no disrespect, don't mean as much as this would.

  4. Eng 104-4

    Full from Cummins and Billings drives on the up and down to the mid-off boundary. Not the most convincing shot but four nevertheless.

    Billings has a good flirt with one nibbling outside off and is fortunate to not nick it, a terrific delivery from Cummins.

    Pat Cummins is into the attack - all the best, England.

  6. 100 runs

    100

    Eng 100-4

    He does have a bit of a Pat Sharp look to him, doesn't he?

    Pat Cummins replaces Zampa and Bairstow works it off the pads for a single. That brings up England's 100.

    I'm thinking of cutting in a mullet too. Think Zampa is going for a 2 or 3 on the sides?

  8. Eng 99-4

    Sam Billings take a good three or four paces down the wicket and is struck on the pads as he looks to clip through mid-wicket. Mitchell Marsh with an huge appeal but it's hit Billings outside the line.

  9. 50 runs

    50 for Bairstow

    Bairstow tucks Marsh off the hip for a couple and, in doing so, reaches his half-century.

    It's taken him 78 balls to get there.

  10. Cheers, Stephan.

    Now then, can Jonny Bairstow do something special here?

    Since I've been gone, I've just been watching this on loop...

  11. Eng 96-4

    Target 295

    15 from it. Are England finally back in this game?

    Kal Sajad is here to find out...

    Bairstow is taking the responsibility and ownership on his shoulders, recognising this is the time to put the pressure on and try to attack.

  13. 6 runs

    Eng 93-4

    Target 295

    And again! This time a slog sweep.

    Jonny is moving...

    Eng 87-4

    Target 295

    Take that!

    Too short from Zampa, Bairstow gets rapid hands through it and pulls for six.

  16. Eng 81-4

    Target 295

    On the England balcony, bowling coach Jon Lewis is wearing thick gloves. Again, not a great sign for club cricketers playing tomorrow, or indeed deep into September. England's required rate is above eight an over. It's a good one to win from here.

  17. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    It looked outside the line but he's asking questions. Yet another appeal and more pressure.

    ZampaReuters

  18. Eng 75-4

    Target 295

    Good running from Bairstow means Billings gets a couple from a drive at Zampa. Then a sweep for two more. Better. Another shout for lbw on the sweep, but that's surely outside the line. Just.

    The Night Watch: Jonny seems to think its the fifth day and we're battling for a draw on a minefield. If he was a boxer his trainer would have chucked in the towel.

    Target 295

    Just a leg bye from it, so a maiden. England are stuck.
