It was what, 86-4? Then Joe Root has lost the plot.
Khawaja skips into the eighties with a little paddle around the corner that the chasing fielder hauls in just before it reaches the rope.
You know, if someone is going to grind England into the dust, you don't mind it being Khawaja. A nice man who is very, very pleasing on the eye when it comes to his batting.

Australia are rushing towards the lead that they want.
What a shot!
Usman Khawaja drives Joe Root beautifully through the covers for four.

It is like a centre practice at the moment to be honest. They are doing it so comfortably.
Steve Smith is up in the dressing room spinning a ball about. Not sure I'd fancy being sat next to him.

An absolute bit of filth from Joe Root, and Usman Khawaja gives it the treatment.
Four!

It was pretty much a risk-free shot with just one fielder out. He nailed it.

Usman Khawaja has launched that. He was just waiting for a bit more flight and he said "you're outta here, son".
Big 'un!
Usman Khawaja larrups a slog sweep over mid-wicket and into the stands for a six.

England are trying to rattle through some overs so they can get back up with the over rate.
You fear that Australia are trying to get to 350 and then stick England in.
A single from Cameron Green takes Australia's lead to exactly 300 - a target which Engand have failed to reach on this tour so far.

You feel like this will be an important innings for Haseeb Hameed. England will hate to have dropped both openers in the series.
It will be a backwards step for Hameed and Ollie Pope to have fallen by the wayside on this trip.
Usman Khawja reverse sweeps - he plays that shot so, so well - and picks up a couple of runs as Jack Leach whirls his way through the over.

There is a little bit more rough for Jack Leach to work with to the left hander from this end.
Just a change of ends for Jack Leach, who replaces Stuart Broad.
In case you missed this news a little earlier and are wondering if we'll see Josh Hazlewood in Hobart, the answer is no.

My word, Joe Root absolutely races through an over.
Joe Root has replaced Jack Leach.
