    When England get this down below 200 it might just start to make Australia a little bit nervous.

    Trail by 237

    A hearty lbw appeal against Joe Root as he plays back to Scott Boland, but that looked a bit too high and leg side to me.

    England are having to tick the overs off one by one and get through the tough passages of play.

    Two of their best batters are at the crease and despite Ben Stokes suffering a niggle and being in a fair bit of pain, he isn't one to give up.

    Ben Stokes lunges forward to Nathan Lyon and then instantly puts his hand gingerly to his side. It's hurting him.

    No. I have it written down in front of me. Can you do yesterday's scorecard?

    Honestly I am mind blown. That is the most extraordinary bit of radio I've ever been involved in because it was like you were reading it from a bit of paper.

    Have you just memorised the whole scorecard? That is extraordinary.

    Stokes 34, Root 20

    Good, calm cricket from Ben Stokes as he pushes an easy couple of runs down the ground off Mitchell Starc.

    That's a gimme from Starc, dropping short, and a grateful Stokes sends it for four with a hammer blow of a pull.

    Ben Stokes has kept his game so much more simple in this Test. He was trying to dance down the pitch in previous games.

  19. Eng 140-3published at 52 overs

    Ben Stokes gets into a mess as he tries to play some sort of shot to Cameron Green and ends up getting lightly clonked on the hip.
