    Bairstow c Labuschagne b Boland 41 (Eng 237-8)

    The big one!

    Scott Boland literally can't do anything wrong. Jonny Bairstow edges into his pads and the ball loops up to Marnus Labuschagne at silly mid-off, who takes a smart catch above his head.

    Australia need two wickets to go 4-0 up.

    Ramsgate Raider: Explain to a non-cricket fan why Jonny Bairstow is refusing to run and Australia are urging the ball to roll over the boundary for four.

    Jack Leach has a little fiddle and then looks to withdraw the bat. Most importantly, he survives.

    England need to negotiate 66 more balls for the draw.

    Jonny Bairstow pinches a single into mid-wicket.

    Scott Boland was slow off the mark there.

    Here's how Pat Cummins removed Jos Buttler and Mark Wood.

    What a bowler.

    Hmmm. Pat Cummins has taken himself off.

    Cameron Green is going to have a bowl.

    That's a waste that review was. It always looked like it had gone past the outside edge.

    Jack Leach survives.

    England have seen off three overs in the final hour - there are 12 overs to go. 72 balls to survive.

    Jack Leach survives.

    There's no HotSpot or Snicko.

    That is a waste from Australia. Could they come to rue it? They have one left now.

    Labuschagne said he heard a noise.

    Has Jack Leach nicked behind?

    Rod Tucker says no, but Pat Cummins, after a chat, sends it upstairs.

    Marnus Labuschagne says "I heard a noise". I mean, that means it isn't out.

  14. Eng 232-7published at 89.3 overs

    Jack Leach has seen off the first three balls of the over.

    What is it about Leach and Ashes Tests?

    Jon Hollis: The run-rate required is now nearly 12 an over, so the plan to lull Australia into a false sense of security is surely complete. England now need to hurry up if they’re going to win this.

    Australia have catchers in place for the start of the over, then take them out for a ring field, so they can bowl at Leach as much as possible.

  17. Eng 232-7published at 89 overs

    Jonny Bairstow is able to find a single in this over, but he does find the boundary with an upper cut to end the over.

    Jack Leach will be on strike with 13 overs to go.

    Glen: Regardless of result, England's batting has a lot more grit this Test. The Graham Thorpe impact. Who let’s remember as a kid - a right hander - made himself a left handed player so he could confuse and score more against his brothers. That win logic most welcome.

    Oh!

    Jack Leach is beaten through the gate by Scott Boland, but it misses off stump by a couple of inches.

    One more over ticked off.

    This is funny! Pat Cummins is laughing.

    Jonny Bairstow pushes the ball down the ground, through mid-on, and he sets off to take a single but has he hit it too well?

    Nathan Lyon is happy to let it trickle towards the boundary but it stops a yard in front. Perfectly judged.
