Aus 78-3published at 29.4 overs
What a response from Moeen Ali! The off-spinner rips the next two deliveries past Travis Head's outside edge.
The first in particular was a beauty! The next one saw Head prod forward and beaten again.

Aus 78-3published at 29.2 overs
Top shot! Moeen Ali overpitches slightly and Travis Head thumps a drive through the gap to the cover boundary.
That went very quickly.

BBC Test Match SpecialIt was a poor shot from Warner. It suggested that he wanted to get on with it.
But there has been some timidity, and some intimidation. Yesterday they were just reacting to England's way of play, in terms of the field settings, but it's certainly felt that way with the batting this morning.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialI have been surprised at how passive Australia have been. They are usually the side who is more keen to get on the front foot.
Or is it just the way that the top four plays, apart from Warner?

Head 4, Khawaja 40
I'm not sure whether it is the ball change or Ben Stokes' action but the England captain is getting some handy lateral movement.
Usman Khawaja is dealing with it pretty well and pushes the last ball of the over past extra cover for two.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialI know we keep going on about the different styles of captaincy but it's fascinating.
After one boundary yesterday, Pat Cummins put a fielder out.
Travis Head has just swept for four, and Ben Stokes applauds it.

Trail by 321
Travis Head is not going to hang about here and shows his intent with a sweep shot, behind square and away for four.
Moeen Ali comes back well, though, and a bit of drifts helps him find the inside half of Head's bat.
Time for at least one more over before lunch.

Steve Smith just can't believe that he's missed one, look at him shaking his head.
He was set in for the day. But, we know Travis Head will not play like that - but that gives England a chance.

Captain fantastic does it again!
That angle from Ben Stokes does the trick, angling in and it's a delivery you're just used to seeing Steve Smith works away.
Instead, he's is squared up and this one beats the inside edge. Above the knee-roll but it's three reds!
Stokes roars in celebration! That is a massive wicket just before lunch!

Australia reviewpublished at 27 overs
Has Ben Stokes got Steve Smith?! England think so, the appeal is almost a plea and eventually, umpire Erasmus raises the finger.
This is a huge, huge moment.

Just got off the ferry at Lipsi, Greece to find that Australia are two down. Happy to jump on the next one if it brings more wickets.

When Moeen Ali after Jack Leach's injury, there was a lot of talk about whether he could do the role that the left-arm spinner had done in the past year.
Moeen is unlikely to ever be a bowler to hold down an end but he's been pretty accurate so far today and gets through a maiden to Steve Smith.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialAustralia aren't going to get lured in to England's tactics.
England are going to keep doing it whether they lose 5-0 or win 5-0. Australia will keep going their way too, but it'll be interesting to see that if things start to go England's way, whether they'll be tempted.
