Foakes 17, Brook 68
Nauman Ali continues after the drinks break and Harry Brook helps himself to single with a dab into the covers. Ben Foakes does the same with a push to mid-on.
This match feels back in the balance.

There's not much encouragement for Abrar Ahmed out there as Ben Foakes blocks out another maiden.
Foakes hasn't played a lot of cricket lately but will need to play a supporting role here to allow Harry Brook to do his stuff at the other end.

The Barmy Army trumpeter has kicked into action, a sign that things have settled down a bit after that Ben Stokes run out.
The England fans who have made the trip have certainly enjoyed themselves.

Whenever Abrar Ahmed drops too short he is punished. Harry Brook is onto it in a flash again and pulls the ball away to the boundary.
England are playing sensible cricket here. Punishing the bad balls but not taking too many risks. Proving that there's more to Bazball than aggressive hitting.

Alastair Cook is an out and out winner. He walks into any England team. He'd be perfect for this side. Set a base whilst the other players slap it round.

Australia beat South Africa inside two dayspublished at 08:30 Greenwich Mean Time 18 December 2022
Image source, Getty ImagesIt was absolute carnage in Brisbane earlier this morning as Australia claimed victory over South Africa inside two days of the first Test as 19 wickets fell on the second day's play.
Resuming on 145-5, Australia were bowled out for 218, before dismissing South Africa for just 99.
Captain Pat Cummins took 5-42 and Mitchell Starc 2-26 to leave Australia needing 34 runs to win.
The hosts chased down their target in 7.5 overs, despite pace bowler Kagiso Rabada's 4-13 on a green pitch.
It is the first two-day Test in Australia for 91 years.

Former England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's not easy to score at the moment, even for Brook who has a half-century.
Eng 171-5published at 41 overs
That's a good question.
Cook is not an obvious fit for 'Bazball' but the best players are able to adapt their game, so would he not be able to do so?
Meanwhile, Harry Brook has played two delicious drives off Mohammad Wasim Jnr for four. He is looking in great touch.

Not outpublished at 39.6 overs
That's a bit of a shocker by umpire Joel Wilson. Ben Foakes got nowhere near the ball before it hit the pad and looped up to short leg. The ball was not going on to hit the stumps either so there's no lbw.
An easy decision to overturn for third umpire Marais Erasmus.
England reviewpublished at 39.6 overs
Ben Foakes has been given out caught at short leg - but Foakes is convinced he hasn't hit it and immediately reviews.
Eng 163-5published at 39.3 overs
That is well timed, though.
It is too short again from Abrar Ahmed and it keeps very low, with Ben Foakes pushing the ball through the covers and away for four.

Not the cleanest of shots but England will take it. Ben Foakes opens the face and guides the ball down to third man with just enough power to get it over the rope.
England slowly rebuilding at the moment.
