Aus 138-3published at 13 overs
Target 209
Slog-sweep from Stoinis and that's six more! Adil Rashid can't believe it but the big all-rounder has put him into the stands twice in the over and England are in a spot of bother.
Aus 130-3published at 12.3 overs
Target 209
Stoinis has struggled against Rashid over the years but he helps himself to six here. Just back of a length from the Englnd spinner and Stoinis heaves it over long on!

Aus 123-3published at 12.1 overs
Target 209
We've got another delay as Stoinis, sprinting through for a quick single, is whacked on the ankle as the fielder has a shy at the stumps.
That will sting.

Aus 122-3published at 12 overs
Target 209
Despite the three wickets, Australia are still keeping up with the rate and took 11 from that Stokes over.
Can England do anything to stem the flow of runs? Wickets are usually the best way but on this pitch, they're not easy to come by!

Aus 118-3published at 11.3 overs
Target 209
Lovely shot from Stoinis. He just opens the face and guides the ball between backward point and short third for four.
It was in the air and Mark Wood made a despairing dive but couldn't get to it. Close, but four.
Aus 111-3published at 11 overs
Marcus Stoinis is out there with Warner now, Tim David is being held back for later in the innings.
This match is still on a knife edge.
50 for David Warnerpublished at 10.5 overs
Aus 110-3
Lovely shot from David Warner, finding the gap on the leg side to bring up a 29-ball half-century.
He is now the key man in this chase. If he's there at the end, you fancy Australia will get over the line.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorThat's a brilliant piece of fielding in the deep from Sam Curran. Australia were banking on him spending more time running round the ball to throw it in with his stronger arm.
WICKETpublished at 10.3 overs
Finch run out (Curran/Buttler) 12 (Aus 105-3)
Gone! Superb from Sam Curran in the deep. The throw was right on target, Jos Buttler takes it in front of the stumps and takes the bails with Finch still an inch or two short of his ground.
Big wicket for England.

Umpire reviewpublished at 10.3 overs
Has Finch just thrown his wicket away? He has to dive to try and get back for a second but this is very tight.
Upstairs we go.

Aus 104-2published at 10.2 overs
Aaron Finch brings up the 100 for Australia in style! It's a lusty blow, launching Rashid over long on and a long way back into the stands.

Aus 96-2published at 10 overs
Target 209
Very good from Ben Stokes. Just seven runs from the over with six singles following a slightly harsh wide first up.
Time for drinks with the game still firmly in the balance. Who is winning it from here? Thumbs up for England, thumbs down for Australia.
