    Did you sneak a peak again Paul (14:48)?

    If anyone knows Paul's boss (14:48), can you give them a tip-off they need to keep an eye on him?

    WICKET

    Stokes lbw Cummins 43 (Eng 210-7)

    The skipper goes!

    It was a good delivery from Pat Cummins, just nipping into Ben Stokes who got stuck in his crease.

    The ball struck him on the knee roll but the replay showed it was going on to hit the stumps.

  4. Jason Gillespie
    Former Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    He has to review that. He's the last of the recognised batters.

  5. England review

    This is big. Australia think they have Ben Stokes lbw.

    Stokes has a chat with Moeen Ali before sending it upstairs.

    I think this is more in hope than expectation.

  6. Eng 209-6

    A lovely sweep shot from Ben Stokes races away to the square leg boundary before a cut through point brings two.

    Stokes grimaces slightly at the end of the over. Though doesn't he always look in pain when he is batting?

  7. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It hasn't been a gung-ho approach from Ben Stokes so far in this innings. He's very much given himself time to get in before thinking about playing some shots.

    Grrr.... At work & every time I sneak a peak at the score, Australia get a wicket

    Paul, Thatcham

    Give it a couple of hours or so before checking again, ey, Paul?

  9. Eng 201-6

    Lead by 208

    Edgbaston seems to take a collective pause for breath as Pat Cummins comes steaming in to Moeen Ali.

    Cummins bangs one in short that rises on Moeen, who gloves it fine past the diving Alex Carey and away for a rather fortuitous four.

  10. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket writer at Edgbaston

    I can see England batting another 15 overs maximum. If they go that long the lead will be about 300.

  11. This illustrates perfectly how Ben Stokes has flicked the switch post lunch.

    Pretending to get some work done today is the final boss of pretending to get some work done. Tense!

    Tom

    Stokes must surely be thinking about the declaration by now?

    Phil McMullen

    What are Australia without Nathan Lyon? He’s kept them in this Test match!

    From Australia's point of view that wicket was needed because it was becoming an annoying partnership. It was building up and they were looking to really move the game forward. How will Moeen Ali approach this, now?

  14. Eng 196-6

    Moeen Ali gets off the mark with a single to a ripple of nervous applause.

    You can feel the tension now.

  15. Moeen Ali strides out to the middle to join skipper Ben Stokes.

    England lead by 203.

    Where do we go from here?

  16. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at Edgbaston

    Every time a team looks like getting ahead in this match, the other strikes back.

    WICKET

    Bairstow lbw b Lyon 20 (196-6)

    No he hasn't! It pitches on leg and is going on to hit leg stump.

    Nathan Lyon makes a crucial breakthrough.

  18. Jason Gillespie
    Former Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Jonny Bairstow reviewed it straight away. Has he got a tickle on it?

  19. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Well, Marais Erasmus took a long time making that decision. Australia kept on appealing.

  20. England review

    Nathan Lyon traps Jonny Bairstow in front. Marais Erasmus waits an age before finally putting up the finger!

    Bairstow immediately reviews.

    A big moment.
