    A colleague has just said if they were at home they would be have started to nervously pace around the living room.

    How are you coping with the tension?

    Joe Root into another over to Usman Khawaja, who defends two balls before a gentle cross-batted pull for one to a straight ball which brings the new batter Alex Carey on strike.

    Game on!!! Can we wrap this up by 6 please I need to head out while it's still sunny.

    Mike

    I get the feeling one more wicket could trigger a collapse like the one in the first innings.

    Chris, Birmingham

    Every time I leave the room away from the TMS commentary we take a wicket. Should I recuse myself from listening to the rest of the match?

    Ed in Suffolk

    You know the answer to that, Ed!

    Green b Robinson 28 (Aus 192-6)

    Dragged on!

    It's full-ish from Ollie Robinson and Cameron Green hangs is bat outside off stump, attempting to guide it fine perhaps? It's a nothing shot and he chops it on to his own stumps.

    There was a bit of nip. Robinson spins around holding his arms aloft.

  10. Aus 192-5published at 63.2 overs

    Ollie Robinson, silver chain below the sweat band on his left hand jangling as he runs in, looks purposeful on his way to the crease.

    England are searching for wickets here.

    I was part of a team bowled out for 36 and then bowled them out for 32. It’s cricket - anything can happen. Keep the faith.

    The England fans weren't being very complimentary about Usman Khawaja's batting approach before tea.

    Some were singing a variation of the Harry Maguire song with the words changed to call him boring.

    That's the ball that England are looking for.

  14. Aus 192-5published at 63 overs

    Joe Root, collar turned up, for the time being. He revs his arms in attempt to get the crowd going. Root's second ball, to Usman Khawaja, grips into the surface and spins away to beat the Aussie batter's outside edge.

    Hands on heads all round. That was close.

    Ben Stokes has got to have a go. He is one of those golden arm bowlers who makes things happen.

  16. Aus 189-5published at 62 overs

    Ben Stokes bowls the ball to Stuart Broad, who is stationed at mid-on. It cannot be long before we see the England captain turn his arm over, surely?

    Usman Khawaja has obviously said to himself 'if I'm here at the end, we win the game' so has dropped anchor.

  18. Aus 189-5published at 61.2 overs

    A bouncer from Ollie Robinson briefly unsettles Usman Khawaja, who ducks out the way. Next ball is a yorker from Robinson but it slips harmlessly down leg side.

    England have bowled very full to Usman Khawaja at times today.

    But the Australia opener has barely looked to drive down the ground, instead waiting for the shorter stuff to score behind square.

    The left-handed Usman Khawaja happy to step right across his stumps as Joe Root spins the ball away from him out of the rough from the bowler's footmarks.

    Khawaja waits until the penultimate ball of Root's over to nudge a straighter one off his shins and into a gap for a single.

    Australia need 92 to win.
