    We've had 12 balls and seen three examples of the challenge England face: two shooting up and one going along the ground.

  2. Eng 35-0

    Runs!

    A leg bye and Haseeb Hameed single is followed by a good-looking three through square leg for Zak Crawley.

    There is a very healthy cloud covering at the SCG. These are far from pleasant batting conditions.

  3. David, I admire your optimism if you think England can afford to lose "a few quick wickets" and still get out of this Test with a draw.

    A reminder, England haven't made 300 in this series. They don't exactly have a great track record with the bat.

    David: Let's at least start out trying to win this please. That means trying to get a decent run rate from the get go. If we do lose a few quick wickets - well we can then go defensive.

  5. It will be Australia captain Pat Cummins from the other end.

    That ball had no business doing that. That's what England are facing - that ball that jumps out of nowhere.

  7. Eng 30-0

    Eeek! Signs of uneven bounce already. One rears at Haseeb Hameed, as he comes forward to defend, and it flicks off his glove and goes into his body.

    The final ball of the over also raps Hameed on the glove. Scott Boland only bowls at 83mph - imagine what Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc might do.

    One gone. 97 more overs for England to survive, boys and girls.

    Tim Ford: I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe.

  9. Eng 30-0

    There's a half-hearted appeal from Australia first up as the ball rolls up Haseeb Hameed's pad and is gathered by Marcus Harris at short leg. There was no edge, though.

  10. It will be Scott Boland with the ball first up for Australia.

    Haseeb Hameed, who has eight to his name, will be facing up.

  11. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match Special

    Both Crawley and Hameed like to drive but they both fell to fairly airy drives in the first inning. They need to be wary of that.

  12. The players are starting to make their way out to the middle.

    A reminder, England will be resuming on 30-0. Their target is 388.

    WinViz is giving them a 0% chance of winning. Australia are at 37%.

    Charlie Gordon: No rain please. This England team deserves no weather help. Do it yourselves.

  15. We're not the only Test cricket in town today either.

    The second and final Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh in Christchurch started at 22:00 GMT too. The hosts are batting first, after the tourists memorably won the first Test. You can follow the scorecard for that game.

    Ireland have also just been beat by West Indies in their first ODI too. Check out the scorecard.

    Someone like Haseeb Hameed, who has had hand problems in the past, has reinforcement on that bit of the glove and then tape underneath it. I've been hit a few times and it takes ages for the swelling to go down.

    BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match Special

    Usman Khawaja has got a lot of strapping on his left hand. He got a couple of really nasty knocks at the start of his innings yesterday. It's like a boxer, strapped up before he pulls his gloves on. It shows what the batters are subjected to.

  18. In case you missed any of yesterday's action you can catch up with the highlights below to bring you bang up to speed before day five starts.

    If you want a longer watch, there is also the day four highlights programme on BBC iPlayer.

    I was just following Ben Stokes around downstairs and he was heading to the nets. He was moving well. He seemed to be preparing himself for playing some cricket today.
