Khawaja has not looked comfortable against Leach.
Lead by 254
Usman Khawaja works for a single, before Cameron Green forces a back-foot punch through the covers for three. That was good fielding from Craig Overton - he went haring after it and hauled it back just in time.
We think there are about 18 minutes till tea. We're never sure these days with us making up time for all the rain we've had.

Mark Wood has put an absolute shift in.
Lead by 250
Oh! Lovely bowling again from Mark Wood. He half squares Cameron Green up and the Aussie all-rounder has a little prod but the ball beats the outside edge.
Wood has had a pretty luckless tour. He has bowled really well and it is absolutely fantastic to see his body holding up to the vigours of Test cricket.
Lead by 249
Banged in short from Mark Wood and it rises high above Usman Khawaja and over Ollie Pope and away to the boundary.
It is that high it is given as wides, rather than byes. It's a fair enough call.

I would love Leach to toss one up and tempt Green to come down the wicket.
Lead by 244
Cameron Green is itching at the moment. He comes down the track to Jack Leach but mis-times his shot.
Something has to give soon. Either Green will smash away a boundary or he'll be on his way.
Just a single from Leach's over. His figures are 2-42 from 13 overs.

That was just Cameron Green's fourth boundary of the series, and two of those have been off the edge.

Green was trying to withdraw the bat a little too late and it climbed on him. Stokes couldn't cut it off and he's holding his side again as well.
Lead by 243
Usman Khawaja picks up another boundary, with another pull. He's played that shot really well.
Cameron Green then joins in with the four hitting, but in slightly lucky fashion. He looks to leave, but it hits the outside edge and Ben Stokes misfields at slip and the ball runs away.
A good over for Australia. Nine from it.
Mark Wood is back on to replace Stuart Broad.
Wood has a couple of wickets in this innings.

Spicyturner: Ollie Pope during his time at Surrey will have been under Alec Stewart, Sanga & Ben Foakes and who knows who else they’ll have involved. I’m surprised, but equally not surprised at how well he’s kept wicket.
Lead by 234
Cameron Green picks up two more with an inside edge into the leg side. Maybe we'll see Australia go berserk after tea - there is no real intent at the moment.
Sam Billings is in Newcastle apparently and has about two hours left on his mammoth drive to join up with the England squad.

AJ Omega: Sleep issues aren't so bad when you wake up at 2am and get to listen to TMS under the covers. Especially when its Geoff Lemon & Alex Hartley on the mic making me giggle and smile a lot. Fancy a cuppa and a third Leach wicket, guys?
Geoff Lemon
Australian journalist on Test Match Special
It's a curious position from Australia. It feels like they're batting time, when they don't need to bat time.
Lead by 232
Another quiet over with Usman Khawaja picking up a couple off Stuart Broad.
I'll be honest, I can't tell you how, because I got up to put my dressing gown on. It's going cold.
Alex Hartley
England spinner on BBC Test Match Special
That's what happens when you bring your field in - you force the batter to take a risk and go for the big shot.
Lead by 230
That's not pretty from Cameron Green. He skips down the track and throws everything into a shot, looking to heave Jack Leach over long-on but the ball hits him on the hip. His brain is ticking. He's chuntering to himself.
A maiden from Leach. A rare one in this series.
Alex Hartley
England spinner on BBC Test Match Special
Green is trying to play himself in and feel more comfortable at the crease. He'll want 20 or 30 minutes to play himself in before he plays his shots.
Lead by 230
Cameron Green has had a difficult series with the bat. He's only scored 57 runs so far and you feel a score has to be around the corner or his place is under threat.
He works Stuart Broad for a couple on the on side before keeping the strike with a drop and run into the covers.
