Lyon dropped on threepublished at 83.2 overs
Ben Stokes is planning to give Stuart Broad the new ball, but gives him a few balls with the old ball to get himself loose.
Nathan Lyon hooks a bouncer from Broad to Stokes at square leg and despite a brilliant one-handed dive the England captain is not quite able to cling on.
Stokes got a hand to it, almost got it at the second attempt with two hands. But then spilled it on landing.
His head is in his hands.

Pat Cummins is trying to win this game basically by himself.

And another.
Pat Cummins opens his shoulders and wallops Joe Root back over his head for another maximum.

Here's that quite brilliant reaction from Joe Root to dismiss Alex Carey caught and bowled.

What's the latest play will go on for today? Is 7pm the absolute cut off?
Oliver from Cambridge
Nope, they'll play until the overs are bowled unless bad light or rain prevents it.
Aus 229-8published at 81.2 overs
A bouncer from Ben Stokes to Pat Cummins sees the Aussie skipper fall backwards to the ground on to his back. He gives Stokes a broad toothy grin.

Image source, PA MediaSerious props to Joe Root with the ball today. He may only be a part-timer but with England's actual spinner injured he's stepped up and delivered at the back end of this innings. Add in his batting and if England do take this home he has to be PotM.

The Hollies stands serenades Joe Root after that over. A vital, vital wicket.
Having seen the replay, Joe Root dropped it briefly but managed to just keep it within his grasp.
