    Jukebox Jack: Anyone who seriously thought this match would go any other way was deluding themselves. Just need to learn lessons and re-group. 4 more tests to put it right!

    Nathan Lyon is back after starting this whole thing off with his 400th Test wicket about two hours ago.

    Darren: Clever play from England, they knew the game was lost. Keep Australia in the field as long as you can, get a five-run lead so you only have to bowl for 10 mins. Good series management

    SCORES ARE LEVEL!

    Australia will have to bat again.

    England began this day with hope but lost their fourth wicket before the last train home...

    Our reader numbers are tumbling like an Olympic gymnast. At the ground the England fans are clapping along to the Great Escape again - with a big dollop of sarcasm I should add - but back in the UK hope is fading fast.

    Woakes and Robinson do not look like doing the spectacular.

    What a strange morning it has been, for all sorts of reasons.

    Woakes 6, Robinson 1

    The only way this could get worse for England would be if Ollie Robinson, their biggest plus from this match, gets himself injured while batting in a helpless cause. Here he almost ducks into a Cummins short ball.

    Robert Carter: Yet again, it is meek surrender from England. At least make Australia bowl great balls to get you out than just waft at wide ones

    Four to the Chris Woakes! Well he is called the Brummie Botham...

    You could see the pressure happening. Buttler likes to feel bat on ball. It's quality bowling.

    England are subsiding. Buttler didn't need to plat at that.

    Maybe England will not avoid an innings defeat...

    Jos Buttler, prodding when he doesn't need to, nicks one. The end is nigh.

  14. Eng 268-6published at 91 overs

    Buttler 23, Woakes 2

    Chris Woakes has a run. He does not look particularly keen to get into line but who can blame him? England should at least avoid an innings defeat with 10 runs the deficit.

    The Australians in the crowd now are baying for blood. The ball is propelled out of Josh Hazlewood's hand, leaping off the pitch like Buttler is batting on a trampoline and are going locals up for optimistic appeals.

    Stokes got himself into a real tangle. It probably bounced a little but more. It's the fist sign of life we've seen from the new ball.

    The new ball has finally taken a wicket. It's Cummins. No surprise there.
