    Oooooo. It's on target from Robinson but Carey defends.

    Robinson is bursting back into life. England are roaring back into the game.

    We were talking about that delivery earlier to Marnus Labuschagne but he judged it beautifully.

    England are back in the Test match!

    Bowled him! Ollie Robinson is on a hat-trick!!

    Don't leave those, Cameron. Aussie all-rounder Cameron Green lifts his arms and has his off stump knocked back.

    Game on?

    Well played, David Warner. Hard work. It did stick in the pitch, it wasn't the slower ball. You could hear him going "oh no".

    Well bowled Ollie Robinson, he's desreved that.

    This is a big session for England.

    It was a simple catch in the end once he got there.

    He's gone! There will be no hundred for David Warner.

    What on earth has he done here? He's managed to mis-time a drive and loop a catch to Ben Stokes at mid-off. Warner trudges off six short of a century.

    David Warner is an amazing man. He has looked so scratchy but he seems to be able to persevere.

    Warner 94, Head 1

    The moustached Travis Head gets off the mark with a careful push. Funnily enough Mark Wood looks like a man who has spent the day bowling in searing heat but in fairness is pace is still good.

    There. Just there. That is the right place to bowl.

  13. Aus 193-3published at 54.2 overs

    Travis Head has rarely done much to impress England fans. His highest score in the Ashes is 51.

    He plays a hideous shot here to Wood early on.

  14. Aus 193-3published at 54 overs

    Lead by 46

    This will be a long session going on until 7:30 GMT.

    It'll be Mark Wood to start. Travis Head is on strike for the first time.

    Warner, like a boxer dancing their way to the ring, is already skipping out there, shadowing shots as he goes.

    There'll be a lot of eyes on Ben Stokes in this evening session. England will need him to bowl but he has not done so since seeming to injure himself towards the end of the morning session.

    He has remained on the field ever since but did not look comfortable.

    Warner has looked very calm all day. He's currently sat in a comfy leather chair by the boundary waiting for the resumption.

  18. Postpublished at 04:51 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2021

    David Warner is on the brink of a century. He needs two runs to beat his entire total in the 2019 Ashes.

    It has not been pretty and England can't say they haven't had their chances...

    England have bowled pretty well. Some of the spin wasn't that positive. The big difference is Warner has shown the heart and fight that was missing in England's batting.

    Enjoy it while it lasts, Callum. I live-text enough of Steve Smith batting to last a lifetime in the last tour.

    I still can't quite believe he's out for just 12.
