    It is all going on already.

    The ball again flicks off Jonny Bairstow, but this time it goes to Mitchell Starc at leg slip, but he spills it. Was there an edge? No, it was just off the thigh pad.

    He then picks up two through point, but the throw back in from Cameron Green was wild. A better throw may have seen a run-out opportunity.

    Scott Boland is going to replace Mitchell Starc as the final hour begins.

    Can Australia find these three England wickets to take a 4-0 series lead?

    Will England draw this Test?

    Thumbs up for yes. Thumbs down for no.

    Drinks breakpublished at 06:37 Greenwich Mean Time 9 January 2022

    The players are taking drinks at this point and when we resume the final hour will begin.

    That means Australia will have a minimum of 15 overs - they are allowed to bowl more within the hour if they can - to find these three England wickets.

    Bairstow has got a big job to do, and he knows it. He will want to be facing as much of the bowling as he can.

  8. Eng 223-7published at 86.3 overs

    Oh! Jonny Bairstow gloves Pat Cummins between Alex Carey and leg slip and away to the boundary.

    It was signalled as leg byes, but it definitely came off the glove and would have been out on review.

    The England bottom four is the thing that would have kept the Australia bowlers going. If they get to Broad, how will he play? He likes to have a go at the short stuff.

  10. Eng 219-7published at 86.1 overs

    Jack Leach eases Pat Cummins' first delivery back down the ground for a single.

    Back to you, Jonny Bairstow.

    Elliott: That is a simply stunning over from Pat Cummins. Unbelievable bowling.

    A maiden.

    Jack Leach will be on strike to Pat Cummins.

    Good luck.

    I can't believe I've seen that. It's not his first drop, but he's pouched most of them

    Bairstow dropped on 28published at 85.3 overs

    OH!

    Jonny Bairstow goes for a big booming drive but gets a healthy nick to Steve Smith at second slip.

    It is dipping on Smith, and does end up pretty low, and the Australia vice captain can't hold on.

    There are still 17 overs left.

    Jack Leach has joined Jonny Bairstow, who you would think will have to face the vast majority of those overs.

    Stuart Broad and James Anderson remain.

    That ends a poor match for Buttler and it's probably the end of the series for him.

    This is excellent from Cummins. Fast, straight and full. Australia are on their way now.

    Wood lbw b Cummins 0 (Eng 218-7)

    What a delivery. Mark Wood goes second ball.

    It was a superb, in-swinging yorker from Pat Cummins and it hit Wood flush on the boot and he ended up on his knees in the crease.

    This could all happen rather quickly now.

    Mark Wood is walking off.

  20. England reviewpublished at 85 overs

    Uh oh. Mark Wood has been given out lbw to Pat Cummins after a superb yorker, which flattened him.

    He sends it upstairs at the last second.
