  1. Kim Hughes
    Former Australia captain on ABC

    Burns was confident right away, but you can understand why the Aussies gave it such a good appeal.

  2. There was a noise, but is it off the pad?

  3. England review

    Burns is given out caught behind off Green, but they review!

  4. Eng 56-2

    Burns 30, Root 5

    That ripper from Michael Neser didn't change the plan as here's Cameron Green in to Joe Root - and the first ball is bang on target and forcing the England captain to push t back to the bowler.

  5. Eng 55-2

    Burns 30, Root 5

    Rory Burns gets a leading edge off Nathan Lyon that loops worryingly into the off side, but it drops into space and they get a single.

  6. Eng 54-2

    Burns 29, Root 5

    Maybe Michael Neser is aware that Cameron Green's warming up, as he rips a beauty past Joe Root's outside edge!

  7. Mitchell Johnson
    Ex-Australia bowler on ABC

    Australia should bring Cameron Green on soon to see how Joe Root copes.

    Oh look - he's warming up! It's a really good idea to get him on, he's troubled Root throughout the series because of the extra bounce he gets.

  8. Eng 54-2

    Burns 29, Root 5

    Joe Root looks a bit frenetic as he tries to cut Neser, under edging it down onto the floor and up into Carey's gloves.

  9. Eng 52-2

    Burns 29, Root 3

    Root connects with a sweep off the last ball of Lyon's over; he's looking 'busy' already but how will that abdominal injury affect him?

  10. Eng 49-2

    Burns 28, Root 1

    Turn and bounce from Nathan Lyon! Joe Root sweeps but the ball goes over his top edge and into Alex Carey's gloves above the keeper's shoulder.

  11. Eng 49-2

    Burns 28, Root 1

    That's a good over from Michael Neser that just turns the screw on England a little bit more.

  12. Mitchell Johnson
    Ex-Australia bowler on ABC

    Root doesn't look comfortable at all. I'd be going with a few at the body, then trying full to nick him off or hit the pad.

  13. Eng 48-2

    So there was no lasting damage from the dropped catch, and now here's Joe Root.

  14. Mitchell Johnson
    Ex-Australia bowler on ABC

    That's a good decision. I would have been uncertain on the line. It was tight. Neser gets one by coming round the wicket. It nipped back just enough.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Malan lbw Neser 20 (Eng 48-2)

    Hitting the top of middle, and he's gone!

  16. Fair delivery, no edge, maybe high?

  17. England review

    Malan is given out lbw to Neser, but he reviews!

  18. Mitchell Johnson
    Ex-Australia bowler on ABC

    That's the extra bounce that Lyon gets. You're unsighted at first slip, so it's tough to take.

  19. dropped catch

    Malan dropped on 19

    Eng 48-1

    Dawid Malan edges Nathan Lyon past the keeper to Steve Smith at slip - and he spills it!

  20. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    In another life, Nathan Lyon used to help prepare the pitch at Adelaide Oval. If he’d prepared this one to suit his own bowling in the fourth innings, he’d have been happy enough.
