    Big, big wicket for England - and it's Ben Stokes who has taken it!

    Marsh was on the front-foot pull, didn't make the connection he wanted - not by a long shot - and the ball looked like it might not carry.

    However, Sam Curran threw himself forward and holds onto a very good, and crucial, catch.

    Marsh played well but falls just short of a half-century.

    Jordan has been expensive. He has bowled better in his second over.

    Target 179

    It's not going to plan for Chris Jordan with the ball so far today. His two overs have cost 25 runs.

    Will Buttler still turn to him in the death overs?

    Chris Jordan's bowling: 7% full, 60% good length and 33% short. 2 overs, 0 maidens, went for 25 runs, took 0 wickets with an economy of 12.50.

    Target 179

    Marsh gets hold of this one. Thumped back down the ground.

    There is an optimistic cry of "catch it, Stokesy!" but that was never one and even his diving effort is not enough to prevent a boundary.

    It looked like Jordan had something behind the line.

  6. Aus 108-4published at 13.3 overs

    Target 179

    Bemused faces from the England players as Jordan is called for a no-ball by the third umpire. The replays seemed to show there was something by the line - even the Aussie commentators think so - but it is a free hit.

    Just a single from it, though. It could have been much worse.

    England have been so good in the field.

  9. Aus 104-4published at 13 overs

    Target 179

    An overthrow gives Australia a helping hand after those two boundaries from David.

    The big man then pulls the ball leg side but it bounces just short of David Willey, who was sprinting in from deep mid-wicket.

    Rashid is done with the ball, 0-38 from his four overs.

    The worm shows Australia are one run ahead of England. Australia are 104 for 4 after 13 overs. At the same stage England were 103 for 4.

    Tim David has the capability of making this run-chase look really easy.

    Marsh 37, David 5

    Tim David didn't trouble the scorers in the last game but he is a very dangerous customer and shows as much with back-to-back boundaries off Rashid.

    The first is thumped through extra cover and the next is muscled down the ground off the back foot. He's got so much power.

    Exactly the sort of over that England needed. Partnership broken and only four runs from it.

    Absolutely fantastic from Sam Curran.

    Stoinis was looking good as well. Now there is a lot of pressure on Tim David. He got a duck in the last game.

    Curran yet again takes a wicket. He is such a crucial and underrated player for England.

    Well-struck pull shot but caught at deep mid-wicket.

    Stoinis was going very well but Sam Curran finds the breakthrough for England yet again. Another catch for Harry Brook, who had to dive forward to take it. Superbly done.

    Game on!

    When you think of Ben Stokes you think of all of the incredible things he has done on a cricket field and that is right up there.

    Stokes is being given a standing ovation and quite right too.

    Incredible effort.

    Wow. Just wow.

    Marsh launches the ball back down the ground, the ball is carrying over the rope but Ben Stokes sticks out a mitt, holds it and then, in mid-air, flicks the ball back into play as he tumbles over.

    They run two but that is four runs saved. Remarkable fielding.

    Five singles either side of that big six from Marsh to make it another good over for Australia.
