Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialNew ball gets a wicket! England have got to try and get a couple more quickly here, get the run rate up and build some pressure.

Head c Salt b Jordan 69 (Aus 147-1)
Image source, Getty ImagesShort, smashed... but straight to the fielder at deep mid-wicket. That new ball does do the trick!
It was a well-directed bouncer by Chris Jordan, Travis Head couldn't get underneath it as much as he'd have liked and Phil Salt makes no mistake out on that short boundary.

The ball is going to be changed after that boundary, Australia have clearly whacked it out of shape.
England will be hoping the new one does a bit more for them.

Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialNow it's looking like the sort of wicket that a batsman would like to roll up and put in his pocket to roll out for every game. It's just coming onto the bat so nicely.

BBC Test Match SpecialThat was just like a golf swing!
Aus 144-0published at 19.1 overs
Off-cutter from Jordan and Head wallops it back over his head. One bounce for four.
At this stage of their innings, England were 97-4. All still to play for in Adelaide then.

Target 288
Despite that boundary, there were some positives for Dawson in that over.
He beat Head's cut shot twice, got the thick outside edge when he tried it a third time and then beats Warner as the batter pushed at the last.

Aus 139-0published at 18.4 overs
After playing and missing on the cut twice, Head changes tact and nails a sweep in front of square for four.
Pressure back on Dawson.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorI've got a controversial cricket opinion.
I saw that bit of fielding earlier from Ashton Agar and it was absolutely incredible. We see that kind of thing a lot now, and you look back at old cricket footage and see pieces of fielding which makes you really realise how much it has changed.
It made me think, do we need to reduce the averages for old cricketers?

Target 288
Good over from Chris Jordan. Again he mixes up his pace, going up and down the gears seamlessly.
Just four from it. The start of a famous comeback?

BBC Test Match Special commentatorThere's a boundary an over, sometimes more than one. It's really punishing England.
Aus 129-0published at 17 overs
Warner 66, Head 56
A boundary to start the over and a boundary to finish it.
The first a slog-sweep from Warner, the second lofted over extra cover by Head. England have no answer to this Aussie opening pair.
They'll have the drinks break to try and come up with one.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorIt's a ground Travis Head knows so well, just effortlessly flicked to the boundary. This opening stand continues to punish England.
50 for Travis Headpublished at 16 overs
Aus 118-0
Whipped over mid-wicket and bounces just short of the boundary cushion - that's a 46-ball half-century from Travis Head.
He's batted superbly on his home ground. It feels like it is just a matter of how quickly Australia want to get this game done now - and that's with them still needing another 170 to win.
