  1. Eng 140-3

    Oh, hello!

    Ben Stokes goes down on one knee and absolutely larrups a drive through the covers off Cameron Green. Lovely, lovely batting.

  3. Eng 136-3

    Mitchell Starc casts another grumpy look at the footholes. He hasn't been happy with it all match.

    It doesn't stop him whistling down a yorker that Joe Root jabs his bat down on, saving his toes from a bruising. Starc shakes his head as he finishes his over. Not a happy bunny.

  4. Get Involved

    Jack Tanner: I wonder if Australia will regret thinking 300 wasn't enough to beat England? A reachable target and England would likely have been 70-5 by now.

  5. Eng 135-3

    Root 19, Stokes 23

    There's a staggered slip cordon in place for Cameron Green as he bowls to Joe Root, but the England captain can't be tempted and it's a maiden.

    When you have a side strain you're like "does it still hurt?" every time you move. You make all these funny movements like wiggling your hips when you walk.

  7. Eng 135-3

    Ben Stokes moves from side to side, wincing, as he gets struck on the glove by Mitchell Starc.

  8. Eng 135-3

    Ben Stokes comes perilously close to edging behind next ball as he tries to flay another boundary off a short, wide Starc delivery.

    There was definitely a noise from something there...

    It was such an effortless stroke.

    Mitchell Starc is not happy with his foot holes.

    That is a magnificent blow from a player who is struggling with a side strain.

    Shot!

    Ben Stokes, despite only having one working side, leans back and hoicks Mitchell Starc over deep square leg for a six. Such easy power from Stokes.

    The fielder skidded quite a long way there - that is quite significant because it will make the ball softer until we get the new ball in 30 overs.

  13. Eng 129-3

    Mitchell Starc goes sliding along the ground to stop Joe Root flicking another boundary off his pads.

  14. Cameron Green is going to bowl from the other end.

    The floodlights are on and they are beaming down. In a way it isn't quite what England wanted on the final day, with cloud cover too. They'll have wanted the conditions that Khawaja was greeted with yesterday.

  16. Eng 122-3

    Solid from Joe Root, meeting Mitchell Starc's deliveries with the middle of his bat, before he sends a gorgeous cut flying away through deep third for a boundary.

  17. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    England will want to bat out the final day, rather than the rain affect it too much.

  18. Eng 122-3

    Joe Root cracks a shot off the back foot but it's well fielded by a tumbling Nathan Lyon, and there's no run.

  19. Mitchell Starc is going to bowl under what still look like pretty grim, grey skies to me.

  20. Right, let's do this.

    Here come the players.
