    Stuart Broad manages to squirt a full ball through point for a single. The bluff that. Broad was expecting the short ball so he's done well to get his bat down on it.

    Prashant: Playing in Australia & after losing the Ashes, coming back with this performance is remarkable! Irrespective of the result, England have shown the fight. That too without a significant contribution form Joe Root. Well done! This is why Test cricket is brilliant!

    Prashant: If Marnus Labuschagne is allowed to decide on whether to review or not, Australia would lose their reviews in under 10 overs! Probably even sooner!

    That was some catch from Labuschagne, fielding so close at silly point.

    Scott Boland can do no wrong. He creates pressure. Bairstow had done so well. Now we are well and truly into the tail.
