  1. That was very nearly a brilliant take by Marnus Labuschagne, but the ball hit the turf before he could get his fingers completely around it.

  2. Eng 240-8

    Huge cheers go up as Ollie Robinson clubs a Josh Hazlewood short ball baseball-style and the ball flies back over Hazlewood's head for four.

    England's lead is 247 - breaching that 250 barrier would be a bit of a psychological boost you'd think.

    Stuart Broad told me the other day he is the most successful reviewer in world cricket - and fair play that's more evidence to him.

  5. Not out

    Actually it does. Broad got a glove on it.

    Sorry, Stuart.

  6. England review

    Stuart Broad is trapped in front trying to reverse-sweep Nathan Lyon.

    Broad instantly reviews. Though not sure if that tells us anything.

    Set them 282. Just for the sheer hell of it!

    Kevin, Leicester

    I'm sure England would love to have that option, Kevin.

  8. Eng 229-8

    Dropped just short!

    Josh Hazlewood bowls another vicious short ball that spits up to Stuart Broad, who fends it away off his glove and the ball lands just short of the diving Scott Boland at leg slip.

    Hazlewood has bowled brilliantly since coming back into the attack.

  9. Summon the Hawk.

    Here's Stuart Broad.

  10. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    That was well set up by Australia's bowlers. Moeen Ali got a little casual there, and that is another big wicket which means we are now into the England tail.

    Moeen c Carey B Hazlewood 19 (Eng 229-8)

    That is out though!

    Josh Hazlewood goes around the wicket to Moeen Ali, bangs it in short and Moeen gloves through to Alex Carey.

    You don't need me to tell you that the Hollies are not impressed with Marnus Labuschagne.

    "Same old Aussies, always cheating."

  13. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    It was a brute of a ball from Josh Hazlewood to Ollie Robinson.

  14. Not out

    Not out! Labuschagne got his hand to it but grounded the ball as he did so.

    The Hollies erupts. Robinson survives.

  15. Umpire review

    Marnus Labuschagne thinks he has taken a brilliant catch a short leg as Ollie Robinson fends off a vicious short ball.

    The umpires send it upstairs but Labuschagne looks confident.

  16. With impeccable timing, Steve. Josh Hazlewood is coming into the attack.

    Steve L: I think Hazlewood is injured, if not he's being massively underused with his quality. He's got to have felt it again...

    Moeen Ali has launched one it for six in the direction of the Hollies Stand. In among the unicorns, people dressed up as bishops and inflatables there's a cricket ball. There's a lot resting on Moeen Ali's shoulders here, you feel. England need 270 or 280 minimum I think.

  19. 6 runs

    Eng 228-7

    Lift off! Moeen Ali has gone for a huge slog-sweep from outside his off stump and has sent the ball clattering into the back of the Hollies Stand.

    Rachel T: Australia have burned through their reviews the way some England fans burn through hope. Keep the faith people!

    Alan McKnight: I have a horrible feeling that Nathan Lyon could be the difference all the way through this series.

    Loser92: This is real ‘Roy of the Rovers’ stuff from England. It would be a brave man indeed who would bet against England knocking down the Aussie wickets for less than 250.
