    I think Buttler has the worst injury and Bairstow might have had an injection to numb the pain.

    Marnus Labuschagne is coming on to bowl what we will generously describe as leg spin.

    Bairstow is a bit restricted. He is an aggressive player who is usually always looking for runs.

  4. Eng 163-4published at 63 overs

    Jonny Bairstow is ripping his bottom hand off his bat at every opportunity.

    He gets lucky as he goes prodding outside off stump against Scott Boland and it bounces just past Steve Smith at second slip.

    Tom: The last pair Australia will want to see at the crease are Stokes and Leach together!

    England's last four would keep me going as the fielding captain. That could happen really quickly so I wouldn't be calling the game off too quickly.

  7. Eng 162-4published at 62 overs

    Nathan Lyon whizzes through his latest over.

    That was an identical ball to the one that Root edged - the same line, the same length. This guy is extraordinary. He is just there all the time.

    41 overs left

    The tireless Scott Boland finds the edge of Jonny Bairstow's bat before zipping the next delivery just past it, much to the agony of the crowd.

    Another maiden. Boland has the frankly ridiculous figures of 16-7-17-2.

    Nathan Lyon might be bowling a little bit too quick.

  12. Eng 162-4published at 60 overs

    Ben Stokes gets a thick inside edge past his stumps, leaving Nathan Lyon with his hands on his head at the other end.

    Jack Rule: Here we go everyone! This is either going to be something special or not pretty at all.

  14. Eng 160-4published at 59 overs

    43 overs remaining

    You'd have got good odds on Scott Boland taking more wickets than Pat Cummins in this series.

    Scott Boland is 13-104 in his two Tests in 45.2 overs. His average is exactly eight and he is taking a wicket every 21 balls on average.

    He has got Joe Root out three times for 28 runs in 56 balls. That probably wasn't something England had factored in before the series.

    Has Joe Root been caught behind on all eight innings on this tour?

    Jonny Bairstow, who only has one working thumb, is the new batter.

    Joe Root looks like a man that is in so much trouble and pain. He looks mentally exhausted and you do feel for him.

    Now things start to get much more difficult for England.

    Root c Carey b Boland 24 (Eng 156-4)

    Ah.

    Joe Root can't believe what he's done. He pushes forward in defense to the metronomic Scott Boland and gets a healthy nick that flies through to Alex Carey behind the stumps. Root stands there, disconsolate, head down, before almost crawling off the pitch.

  20. How's stat?!published at 04:07 Greenwich Mean Time 9 January 2022

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Joe Root and Ben Stokes have shared 50-plus 12 times in Test cricket now.

    Their average partnership is 34.7 and out of the 12 players that Root has had 12 or more Test partnerships with, it is the second lowest average stand.
