Tim David moved across his stumps and Curran snuck it behind his legs with a superbly executed yorker on middle and leg. Fantastic bowling.
David batted very well and that is a big blow for the home side.

Chris Camm: One thing that is missing from the live reporting on the website is the run-rate. It’s good to know how much is needed to win, it’s even better to know if they are on track to do it.
We do have worms, though...

Target 179
A decent finish to the over from Jordan, at least. Just a single from it.
That does mean Tim David will keep strike, though, which is less than ideal for England.
Australia need 34 from 18 balls.

David has smashed that as hard as anyone can hit a cricket ball.

Target 179
Hammered over wide long-off for six! What a shot from Tim David!
England under pressure, Jordan is struggling.
Aus 138-5published at 16.4 overs
Target 179
Great effort from Sam Curran in the deep, diving to flick the ball back after David heaved it leg-side.
However, it just rolled back to where the boundary cushion had been before David Willey, over to help him out, could pick it up. Four runs.

Chris Jordan will bowl the 17th over for England. Can he pull it back after a couple of expensive overs?

Target 179
Image source, Getty ImagesNot a bad over from Topley but it still costs 11 runs. Both of these Aussies batters can cause England problems but David is the key wicket right now.
Australia need 48 from 24 balls.

Former Australia fast bowler on Test Match SpecialThat is just beautiful hands through the ball. David doesn't swing the bat hard but it has cracked off the bat.
Aus 127-5published at 15.3 overs
David 24, Wade 2
That's the power of Tim David. A wide half-volley from Topley as he misses his yorker and David crashes it through the covers.
It's not far away from the man out there sweeping but he's got no chance.

Image source, Getty ImagesMark Burt: Starting to worry about Rashid’s form. Looked vulnerable in Pakistan and isn’t pulling up any trees in Australia. He’s such an important cog in the side and without him firing, England are hugely weakened.

Target 179
Five overs to go, Tim David and Matthew Wade at the crease for Australia with another 59 needed for victory.
This one could go right down to the wire.

Target 179
Stokes is frustrated with himself as his gets the line of his slower ball bouncer wrong, allowing David to swivel on it and get four past short fine leg.
Nicely put away by the Singapore-born batter.
