  1. Eng 27-0published at 10 overs

    Despite a heroic effort from Crawley, we're going to squeeze one more over in.

  2. Eng 27-0published at 9.5 overs

    Zak Crawley is doing his absolute timewasting best. Gardening, gesturing at the sightscreen, the lot.

    That's flown from nowhere. It completely took off.

  4. Eng 27-0published at 9.1 overs

    And right on cue, a lifter from Scott Boland takes off, hitting the very top of Zak Crawley's bat and just about avoiding his fingers, and the ball loops over the slip cordon for four.

  5. Eng 23-0published at 9 overs

    Pat Cummins replaces Mitchell Starc and bowls a tidy but relatively non-threatening over.

    It's all rather flat, which is good for England. Australia haven't really done anything too outrageous.

    It's gloomy. We wouldn't be playing without the floodlights.

  7. Eng 21-0published at 8 overs

    Hameed scampers a single.

    10 minutes to go. The floodlights are on.

  8. Eng 20-0published at 7.2 overs

    Close!

    Haseeb Hameed pushes at Scott Boland and he's lucky that it goes on the bounce to Steve Smith at second slip. Soft hands might have saved Hameed.

  10. Eng 20-0published at 7 overs

    A very grouchy Mitchell Starc sends down a full bunger that Hameed clonks on the ground to a nearby fielder.

    Starc's not happy with the footholes as he bowls, I think. He's even less happy as Zak Crawley flicks a tasty delivery off his pads for four.

    How do you know that?

    It's raining in Liverpool, which is a part of Sydney.

  14. Eng 15-0published at 6 overs

    Boland gets a delivery to burst off the pitch but it's too wide to trouble Crawley, and Alex Crarey takes a good, leaping take behind the stumps.

    Twenty minutes negotiated, another twenty to go.

    Here's Australian national hero Scott Boland.

    Scott Boland is warming up. He's the man that has made everything happen in the last two Tests.

  17. Eng 15-0published at 5 overs

    Target 388

    Nice from Haseeb Hameed, driving through square to pick up his first runs of the innings.

    Look at the skies when Australia walked off...

  19. Eng 12-0published at 4 overs

    Zak Crawley picks up a couple of runs, this time a little more edgily, as he pushes forward to Pat Cummins.

  20. Eng 7-0published at 3.2 overs

    See? There's always hope.

    Zak Crawley plays a sumptuous off-drive to hit Pat Cummins for the first four of the innings.
