Simon: Unlucky Joe Root - you can’t captain, lead, motivate and inspire when those around you are getting blown away like autumnal leaves. Rest up, regroup and come back stronger.

James Gulleford: Root’s series ends with a whimper. He’s lost the amazing form he was in. Time to resign and focus on batting Joe.

The wicket of Joe Root is significant. With the batter in and the ones to come, you feel he had to anchor this innings.

Eng 101-5published at 33 overs

Ouch! Pat Cummins bangs on it and it is well-directed and smashes a swaying Ollie Pope on the back shoulder. Pope has dislocated both his shoulders while fielding, so I doubt they are the strongest.

A maiden from Cummins. Pressure.

England were 68-0, they are now 101-5.

That's all.

That would have bowled anyone. It would have bowled Don Bradman on 200.

Sam Billings' first ball bounces a bit more and an outside edge drops short of gully.

There are still 70 minutes left in the day. Will England even survive the day?

Joe Root would need to stick a bat on the bottom of his other bat to make contact. He's smiling at the ludicrousness of that ball.

Root is saying that kept low. He's not happy at all. He walks off and he's muttering. He looks very disappointed as well. It's a stinker. Unplayable.

Drinks are over and Joe Root, new bat in hand, is facing up to Scott Boland again.

Here's Ben Stokes getting out...

Soft.

Scott Boland is going to replace Mitchell Starc. Boland hasn't even taken a wicket in this innings yet - he's bound to get in on the act at some stage.

Joe Root has broke his bat and needs a new one, so the umpires wisely opt to call for drinks mid-over, just two minutes earlier than scheduled.

Scott Boland is absolutely the new crowd favourite. He’s at fine leg, getting constant declarations of love over the fence, and enormous cheers every time he does a routine bit of fielding.

Arjun: Well, that’s just abject from Stokes.

Phil Court: I used to have a theory that England would lose a wicket as soon as I switch the telly on. I know now it has nothing to do with that...

Ollie Pope and Joe Root exchange singles - they really need to build a partnership. Ideally they'd still be together at close in 80 minutes time.

It is going to be a challenge, though. Pat Cummins' final ball stays a bit low and has Pope over balancing in the crease.

We've said it before - it is down to that first innings. England let it slip and allowed Australia to post a commanding total on this pitch.

Good over for England.

Joe Root picks up four down the ground, via a bang average piece of fielding at mid-off, before getting a couple down to fine leg.

He has now scored 5,000 Test runs while being England captain. The focus on whether he continues as skipper will come back into focus in the next few days, you would imagine.

We did anticipate a fightback from Australia. The ball is certainly doing enough for the bowlers to be causing some problems.

Ollie Pope plays out a maiden from Pat Cummins.

We'll be playing until 11:30 GMT by the way, so there is still plenty of time for his game to ebb and flow one way and another.

England have lost four wickets for 24 runs by the way.

They love a collapse.
