    Target 179

    Very good from Curran. Short ball into the body and Wade can only pull for one as he is cramped for room.

    England are almost there. Australia need 12 from two balls. What has Cummins got?

    Now it is on the shoulders of Matthew Wade...

  3. Aus 166-6published at 19.3 overs

    Target 179

    Just a single to long on, Cummins missed out and then Australia miss out on a second run after a wild throw.

    Australia need 13 from three balls. Wade on strike...

  4. Aus 165-6published at 19.2 overs

    Target 179

    Two from the next. 14 from four balls.

    It will be Sam Curran to bowl the last over. England have not bowled their overs in time so there is an extra fielder inside the circle.

    The six by Chris Jordan off the last ball of England's innings makes a massive difference.

  10. Aus 157-6published at 19 overs

    Target 179

    Superb from Topley with a single from the fifth ball and just two for Wade off the last.

    It's down to 22 from the final over to prevent England from sealing the series win.

    This ball has to go to the fence for Australia to have any chance...

  12. Aus 154-6published at 18.4 overs

    Target 179

    Two more to Cummins, this time out to long on.

    Australia need 25 from eight balls.

  13. Aus 152-6published at 18.3 overs

    Target 179

    Two for Cummins as he heaves the ball leg-side. Topley is doing what he needs to do so far.

  14. Aus 150-6published at 18.2 overs

    Again just a single as Wade pushes a yorker from Topley to mid-off.

    Australia need 29 from 10 balls.

    Australia have got to get it into the mid-teens for the final over, I reckon.

  16. Aus 149-6published at 18.1 overs

    Target 179

    Cummins pulls the first ball of Topley's over away for a single.

    Australia need 30 from 11 balls.

    What about Sam Curran. What an over that was.

  18. Aus 148-6published at 18 overs

    Target 179

    Magnificent over from Sam Curran. A wicket and only three runs from the over - and one of those was a leg bye.

    If England win this game, this over will be the one they look at as key to it.

  19. Aus 145-6published at 17.3 overs

    Target 179

    A dot ball from Curran to Pat Cummins, who can't connect with the slower ball.

    Australia need 34 from 15 balls.

    If this was a poker game Curran pushed all of his chips in. The field said Curran had to bowl wide of off stump but he went for the leg stump yorker.

    It is a good, gutsy piece of bowling.
