Sheldon Cottrell returns to the attack. It's too short and Salt pulls well. The ball seems like it may have hit the boundary wedge on the full but the TV replays are inconclusive and it's signalled a four.

Need 63 from 24 balls
A single to end the over. Phil Salt is on 24 from 12 balls - he's been impressive so far.

Shot! Shepherd sends in a low full toss and Salt punches it back down the ground. Pure power.
Eng 154-5published at 15.3 overs
Romario Sherpherd, who had picked up a wicket in each of his first two overs, is brought back into the attack.
Salt swings back towards the bowler as Sherpherd sticks out a hand and sends the ball in the direction of the umpire, who quite coolly swerves out the way.

Phil Salt sweeps through square leg. It was six from the moment it connected with the bat. Timed to perfection.

Akeal Hosein almost pulls off a stunning grab.
A full toss is sliced towards backward point by Salt. Hosein is backpedaling and takes a terrific one-handed grab, only for the ball to pop out of his hand as he makes impact on the ground.
Salt dropped on threepublished at 13.5 overs
England need 86 runs from 37 balls
Ah, I feel bad calling this a dropped catch. But I'll do it anyway. Phil Salt blasts it back past the bowler as Jason Holder sticks out his left hand hand and can only deflect the ball away.
Holder asks for the physio to come have a look at his hand. After a short delay, he's good to continue.

Target 225
Phil Salt is also off the mark with his first delivery. It would have been a certain four had it not been for some fine fielding by Fabian Allen in the deep.

Yes, you heard that right.
England... great start... Ashes.
Australia, after being stuck in, are 5-2. A wicket apiece for Katherine Brunt and Anya Shrubsole. Listen to that one here.

We have two debutants in the middle as Harry Brook joins Phil Salt in the middle. Brook is off the mark with his first runs in international cricket.

Banton c Holder b Pollard 73 (Eng 129-5)
But... Banton is no longer there.
Skipper Kieron Pollard takes off the pace and Banton plays almost a repeat of the previous shot but this time mistimes it straight into the hands of Jason Holder.
A fine innings from the opener. He scored 73 off 39 but you feel it won't be enough to prevent his side from going 2-1 down in this series.
Eng 129-4published at 12.2 overs
A great shot from Tom Banton! A flat-batted six to a wide long-on boundary. With Banton there, anything is possible.
Eng 123-4published at 12 overs
Need 102 from 48 balls
Banton takes a single to keep the strike. He's on 67 from 36.
Aaaand here comes 'Sweet Caroline' again. The crowd are swaying. Beers are spilling.

And another from Banton! Clobbered over long-on.
Eng 116-4published at 11.4 overs
In comes T20 debutant Phil Salt but it's Tom Banton who goes big. He smashes Shepherd down the ground for six.

Livingstone c Hosein b Shepherd 11 (Eng 107-4)
Romario Shepherd strikes again! England's hopes are fading away.
A clear plan to bowl full and wide pays off once again. Livingstone reaches at it and it comes off the bottom off his bat. Akeal Hosein, at extra cover, makes a bit of a meal of it but adjust well to take a catch above his head.
Aside from that one big six, Livingstone, struggling with sickness, did not look himself.
Eng 106-3published at 11 overs
Target 225
Captain Kieron Pollard using every bit of his vast experience to prevent the boundaries. A back-of-a-length delivery with the pace held back digs into the turf as Livingstone top edges a pull which falls safe.
Seven from the over. England need a big over. And they probably need it right now.
