  1. Aus 276-8

    The set-up was good from Ollie Robinson who follows up the chin music with a yorker. Pat Cummins backs away and is able to dig it out, somehow.

  2. Aus 276-8

    It's three short balls in a row from Ollie Robinson but Pat Cummins takes evasive action, like a boxer rolling with punches, ducking and weaving.

  3. Aus 276-8

    Ollie Robinson takes a deep breath and bounces Pat Cummins who was shaping up to slash at it, but readjusts and instead lets it go through to the wicketkeeper.

    Five to win still for the Aussies.

  4. 'A genie from the bottle needed'

    Ben Stokes has to come up with the genie from the bottle here.

  5. Another meeting of England's senior players. It looks like a change of bowling? Maybe not. Ollie Robinson continues.
