  1. Eng 268-8published at 98 overs

    What an innings Jack Leach is playing.

    He drives the final ball of the over to the mid-off boundary in beautiful fashion. So elegant.

    WinViz has Australia at 27% now. It was 60% earlier.

  2. Eng 263-8published at 97.4 overs

    Aarrrgh! Heart in mouth moment.

    Pat Cummins follows a backing away Stuart Broad and the ball ricochets high off the bat but well short of gully.

    Broad tells himself off.

  4. Eng 263-8published at 97.2 overs

    The Australia fielders keep shouting "he fancies you, Pat" because of the three that Jack Leach took in the last over.

    Leach flicks the Australia captain through mid-wicket for three more. The left-hander has 20 now.

    The two umpires are chatting to Stuart Broad and Jack Leach in between the overs.

    I don't think the England batters are too happy with the light.

    The umpires set a precedent not going off in the gloom last night.

    A change for Australia again.

    Pat Cummins has turned to the spin of Nathan Lyon.

    There are nine close catchers round the bat. Jack Leach is surrounded.

    The light is not good. The floodlights are taking over the natural light.

    Here's how Jonny Bairstow was out.

    Ruth: I'm missing my hotel breakfast to see this game through. Not that I could eat anything, I'm far too nervous. C'mon England!

  14. Eng 257-8published at 96 overs

    Stuart Broad is down, but he's not out!

    He does well to sway a Pat Cummins bouncer, and it causes him to topple backwards and end up flat on his back. He has a little giggle.

    There are 36 balls left. Can England escape with a draw?

  15. Eng 257-8published at 95.3 overs

    Stuart Broad has survived the first three balls.

    It is getting gloomy at the SCG and Broad has enquired about the light, but has been told to get on with it by umpire Rod Tucker.

    Pat Cummins did this in his previous spell.

    Pat Cummins is bringing himself back on.

    Uh oh.

    Considering Alyssa's husband is bowling, I'm sure it can be arranged...

  19. Eng 257-8published at 95 overs

    Jack Leach picks up two more through point to end the over.

    England have 42 more balls to survive. How are you all feeling?

  20. Eng 255-8published at 94.5 overs

    Jack Leach!

    He flicks Mitchell Starc away through square leg for four. Lovely shot.

    He's up to 12 off 19 balls.
