    Lead by 28

    Moeen Ali flashes outside his off stump and sends a thick edge through the backward point region for four, but Pat Cummins responds with five dots.

    Cummins has been superb in this spell. England will be relieved if they can see him off without losing any more wickets.

    Not sure what Marnus is chirping about…there’s only one of them with a golden in Ashes cricket.

    Stevo, Cheltenham

    That is the worst review in the history of cricket. And it was their last one!

    Andrew, Woking

    England have to get to 260-270 and take a couple of wickets tonight. Batting will be much tougher tomorrow, and if Australia are 100-2 overnight we have a fighting chance. 100-3 and I'd back us to win.

    Chris, Beaconsfield

    Moeen Ali is a numbers man. One, two, three dots and then a big swing.

    Steady, Mo!

    Moeen Ali gives himself a couple of sighters from Nathan Lyon before going or a huge swing and a miss

    If he had connected the ball would have probably ended up out of the ground.

    Paul (14:48) I'm having the exact same effect on the England batters it seems. I'm switching attention between Cam Norrie's match at Queen's and the cricket. Every single time I've switched back, a wicket falls. Sorry lads! Australia have just chipped away.

    Ben

    Don't think you want to risk missing anymore of that Cam Norrie match, Ben...

    Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes were building a decent partnership but fell in quick succession.

    The fans in the Hollies are cheering "Howzaaat!" every delivery after that awful review.

    After yet another thrilling hour we all pause for a drink.

    Australia really do need to take Marnus Labuschagne out of any review conversations.

    The Telegraph's Will Macpherson: That is some way to blow your last review. Never listen to Marnus.

    What a terrible review that was. The ball was miles away from everything.

    Could that cost Australia further down the line?

  12. Australia reviewpublished at 50.2 overs

    Australia only have one review left but they have gone for it in the hope Ollie Robinson has feathered through to Alex Carey as he looks move out of the way of a short Pat Cummins delivery.

    England have rocketed along, but losing wickets at the same time. They need to find another 40 or 50 runs. There's been just a few dismissals which have made me scratch my head - especially Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root.

    Moeen Ali not helping England supporters' nerves as he skews an uppish drive towards backward point.

    Jason Gillespie just said 'Game on!' - what he meant to say was 'Game over'

    Iain, London

    Well, that will be that then. I'm sorry but 220 odd is just no way near enough.

    Have a sinking feeling we’re going to be 100 short…

    The Age's chief sports columnist Greg Baum: Bazball has so messed with thinking that for a team either not to score or not take wickets for a period of time must mean that they’re doing something wrong.

    Pat Cummins knows as the leader of his team that now is the time to personally stand up and take the lead for this Australia side.

  20. Eng 210-7published at 49 overs

    To nobody's surprise, Pat Cummins goes short to Ollie Robinson, who actually plays it quite nicely into the on side.

    Another bouncer follows and Robinson ducks underneath it. Cummins then comes up with a brilliant inswinging yorker but Robinson does really well to dig it out.

    A few Aussie players are chirping away at the new England batter.

    Classic Ashes cricket.
