    I don't think we will see that again in our lifetime.

  2. Henry Moeran

    I am not sure we will see another wicket like that in 2022.

  3. Aus 84-4

    I can't wait for you to all see that Marnus Labuschagne wicket. The way his feet get tangled and he falls to the ground - wow! Extraordinary.

    New batter, Cameron Green, gets off the mark with a flick through square leg. Stuart Broad punches his other hand in frustration, but it might not be a bad thing that Green is on strike in the final over before the interval.

  4. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    What an extraordinary way to go. It is almost as if Labuschagne's foot slides across the grass. He gets himself in a complete tangle. He has been bowled around his legs middle stump.

    WICKET

    Labuschagne b Broad 44 (Aus 83-4)

    Bowled round his legs! Extraordinary!

    This is so ridiculous. Marnus Labuschagne shuffles outside off stump - well outside - and slips over. He ends up pretty much flat on his face, and he misses with a flick and the balls crashes into middle and leg stump.

    England needed that. What a breakthrough with lunch just five minutes away.

    James Gulleford: This is where Root’s captaincy is so poor, as soon as the pressure goes on he’s like a rabbit in the headlights. The field will go back now which means singles everywhere. Can’t blame Wood when he’s played and bowled too much

  7. Aus 83-3

    England just can't stop the flow of runs at the moment.

    Having bowled seven maidens in the first 12 overs runs are just leaking everywhere at the moment.

    Travis Head picks up another boundary with an edgy drive through point. He's up to 31 off 30 balls. He has already counter-attacked and taken a game away from England once in his series - can he do it again?

    Tom: If I was Cummins I'd declare.

  9. England have got their wish - the ball is going to be changed.

    It has taken some whack in the last 45 minutes and the outfield is probably a bit damp from the earlier rain, which saw us have a 30-minute delay at the start of the day.

  10. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Labuschagne has tried to Happy Gilmore that towards us.

  11. Aus 79-3

    What a bizarre moment. Marnus Labuschagne takes a couple of paces down the track and tries to heave - almost golf drive - Stuart Broad straight back down the ground.

    He doesn't connect at all, and the ball trickles back to Broad, who throws it towards the stumps.

    It hits the legs of Labuschagne and he then takes a couple of intimidating steps back towards the England bowler.

    Careful Marnus, I'd fancy Stuart in a scrap.

  12. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    After what was looking like being firmly England's session this counter-attack has been fantastic from Australia. It has been quite a masterful exhibition of how to counteract these conditions.

  13. Aus 77-3

    Marnus Labuschagne picks up his ninth boundary with a flamboyant, one-legged, flick over mid-wicket. He's picked up 36 of his 42 runs in boundaries and has battled through a spell of being dropped and playing and missing on numerous occasions.

    England try to get the ball changed but the umpires tell them no. Joe Root is looking worried. Or very very angry. Certainly one of them.

    Damien Fitton: We're letting them off the hook here. The way this series has gone Australia will make 200 and we'll be 12-3 ourselves and all out for 50.

  15. Aus 71-3

    Unsurprisingly, considering Mark Wood had conceded 31 in three overs, Joe Root makes a change and calls Stuart Broad back.

    He brings an element of control, conceding just three.

    England would love to break this partnership before lunch at 06:30 GMT.

  16. It could have been even better for England though...

  17. In case your alarm has just gone off and you're just joining us for the first time today England have taken three wickets this morning.

    They reduced Australia to 12-3 but Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head have shared a half century with a counter-attacking partnership.

    Here are the wickets to fall...

  18. Aus 68-3

    Slightly better from Chris Woakes, conceding just three through mid-wicket.

    He finds the outside edge of Marnus Labuschagne, but it is well short of the slip cordon.

    He earns some boos from the Hobart crowd, who are watching a men's Ashes Test for the first time don't forget, as he collects the ball in his follow through and hits Labuschagne with a throw.

    Eddie: Scrap that. We're blowing this. Awful cricket all of a sudden...

  20. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Mark Wood has either been too short or too full and Woakes has been too full since he came on.

    In three overs Wood has 0-31.
