  1. Lunch - Eng 297 all out

    In another example of cricket being cricket, the players have taken lunch. We'll have to wait 40 minutes or so for Australia to begin their pursuit of 20.

  2. Australia will need 20 to win.

    Nathan Lyon, having taken his 400th Test wicket, leads 11 delighted Australians off the field.

    There was a smidge of pressure on the hosts this morning but they have been utterly ruthless.

  3. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Chris Woakes stepped away to one that was slightly fuller from Cameron Green. That gives Alex Carey a record catch. Australia will have come out this morning a little deflated but with a determination and they've shown that.

    Woakes c Carey b Green 16 (Eng 297)

    Well that is that. It began with hope. It all ends in a heap.

    JW: Even with a collapse I was hoping we would at least set them a target of 100. Chance to take some wickets and put doubt into the Aussie batsmen.

  6. Eng 296-9

    Woakes 16, Leach 0

    Cameron Green is coming on. He got Root back at the start of the day. Can he finish it off too?

  7. Jack Leach is walking out to the middle. The lunch break is due but it looks like we're going to play on.

    England lead by 18.

  8. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It was very full, inviting the drive. It's beaten the outside edge, not turning as much as Wood anticipated.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Wood b Lyon 6 (Eng 296-9)

    Bowled him. Mark Wood is another out playing an attacking shot. In fairness he's just missed a half-volley.

    Nathan Lyon is a different man now he's got his 400th Test wicket.

  10. Eng 295-8

    Lead by 17

    Mark Wood did bowl a fair few bouncers to the Aussie lower-order to be fair. He has to expect this.

  11. Eng 295-8

    Mark Wood almost has his head taken off by Mitchell Starc so unsurprisingly the next ball he uses his bat and gets a flashy four over the slips.

  12. Eng 289-8

    Lead by 11

    Any relation to Tim, Billy? He certainly won't forget about Jack Leach's batting.

    England are effectively 11-8. Ouch.

  13. Get Involved

    Billy Paine: People are incredibly quick to forget that Jack Leach has a Test-match 92.

  14. Eng 286-8

    A feel a little cheated having got excited earlier today.

    England have lost six wickets in this session.

    Jukebox Jack: Anyone who seriously thought this match would go any other way was deluding themselves. Just need to learn lessons and re-group. Four more Tests to put it right!

  16. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Exactly what England fans didn't want to happen this morning has happened.

  17. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match Special

    He's a lower-order batsman, so we can't criticise him for his shot selection.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Robinson c Head b Lyon 8 (Eng 286-8)

    Ollie Robinson might want to stay off Twitter for an hour or so. He's out playing a reverse sweep. I actually don't blame him too much - he might as well try and score some runs - but it's not a good look.

  19. Eng 282-7

    Lead by 4

    More gasps and groans from the crowd as Chris Woakes swishes an optimistic drive off Starc. Can England survive the 20 minutes until lunch?

  20. Eng 279-7

    Woakes 11, Robinson 2

    I'll admit it - I just thought to myself "so how many would be a challenge for Australia?" when a single to Robinson took England into the lead.
