  1. Eng 73-5

    Go on, Jos!

    Up and over extra cover for four.

    More, please.

    That will be sore. Don't rub it! Don't rub it! I'd have been crying.

  3. Daniel Norcross

    That spat off the pitch but Ollie Pope managed to play that really well in the end. That wasn't that short and it rose up.

  4. ouch!

    Eng 69-5

    Ooofffttt!

    Cummins gets one to spit, hitting Pope on the meaty part of the right bicep. That will leave a monster bruise. The sort that turns purple.

  5. Out first ball of the series

    Stubbs: Surely it's a burnt duck?

    Chris Painter: Lame duck?

  6. Eng 68-5

    For the third time since lunch, Pope drops into the covers and runs. The best way to bat is from the other end, etc...

    That is a lovely shot. It was full and wide and Buttler got a good stride out to it and he'll look to put those away. There isn't much risk in those shots.

  8. Eng 65-5

    Have some of that. Driven for four. The Buttler counter-punch. Expect a swift 15, then head in hands.

  9. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That's what I was saying. He sometimes just doesn't get that front foot out and it was a tentative prod.

  10. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Jos Buttler has got away with that one. It was just over off stump.

  11. Eng 61-5

    Amazing to think this is Buttler's first Test in Australia. Playing the waftiest of loose shots, he almost loses his furniture to one that Hazlewood gets to nip back.

  12. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Jos Buttler has to get his feet moving here because England are in real trouble.

  13. Eng 60-5

    Jos Buttler brings the sunshine with him. Looking again, Hameed has played at one that was about the line of a sixth stump. Cummins has 2-17.

  14. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It was a great delivery.

    Australia were guilty of bowling a little too short just before lunch and Haseeb Hameed was able to leave on length. That was angled in and it was the perfect fuller length - Hameed had to play it or it was knocking out his off stump.

    I liked what I saw from Hameed there, though.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Hameed c Smith b Cummins 25 (Eng 60-5)

    Recovery over.

    Haseeb Hameed's judgement was near-perfect in the morning session, but here he's been suckered into playing by Pat Cummins. Very full again, but probably wide enough to leave. The edge is pouched by Steve Smith at second slip.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    England were teetering but they have recovered a little bit.

  17. The players are back out. Pat Cummins has the ball.

  18. There's a little girl of a similar age upstairs in my house. I'm surprised my other half hasn't brought her too me yet.

    Especially with the temperature yo-yoing.

    Introducing my 8 week, sleep avoiding baby girl to the joys of the ashes. Based on the amount of kicking and squawking, she's enjoying the fight back.
