    Ohh!

    Mark Wood beats a prodding Mitch Marsh.

    Headingley rises. There are "oohs" as the replay is shown too.

    No, we've got time for one more.

    Mark Wood to Travis Head.

    Get ready.

  3. Aus 89-4published at 25 overs

    Ah. Mitch Marsh drives Stuart Broad to the cover fence.

    Will that end England's hopes of another over?

    The crowd was in near silence as they waited for that DRS decision, followed by the biggest roar of the day so far.

    Stuart Broad is sprinting back to his mark as England look to get another over in before lunch.

    We know Marsh can be an aggressive batter but with the ball bouncing we don't know what could happen but this is a good opportunity for him to prove himself in Test cricket.

    Mitch Marsh, who hasn't played a Test since the 2019 Ashes, is the new batter.

    Broad and the Headingley crowd are up for this.

    Broad is winding them up again.

    England needed that after a few fumbles! Smith can't believe it. He's shaking his head as he's going off.

    Smith c Bairstow b Broad 22 (Aus 85-4)

    Stuart Broad has got Steve Smith!

    The technology shows a clear inside edge as Broad gets one to snake back in.

    Smith can't believe it. He's looking at his bat and shaking his head as he strolls off.

    What a morning this has been for England now!

  10. Australia reviewpublished at 24.2 overs

    England have got Steve Smith caught behind!

    Well they think so, and so does Kumar Dharmasena.

    Smith sends it upstairs immediately.

    Here's the first chance that Jonny Bairstow dropped.

    Should he have done better?

    Bairstow has muffed two today and this has been a big problem for England throughout the series.

    Jonny Bairstow should still be taking that to be completely honest. Head has gloved it.

    Head dropped on 9published at 23.4 overs

    Jonny Bairstow has dropped another!

    It's down the leg side from Mark Wood but Travis Head chases it.

    It comes off the face of the bat, near the sticker, and Bairstow, despite getting two hands to it, spills it.

    It's given as a bye by the umpire but the technology shows a clear spike.

    Got my wish but just the wrong end. I'd much prefer Mark Wood to go down the hill.

    Here we go.

    Mark Wood is back on.

    This is what he did earlier...

    Glenn is less impressed by the cake (see 12:40 BST). “It’s OK…”

  18. Aus 80-3published at 23 overs

    England are going to continue targeting Travis Head with the short ball.

    He's able to ride the bounce and push back into the pitch, before a rising one whistles just past the gloves.

    England are definitely in the game with Head.

    Stuart Broad, who removed David Warner in his first over, is back on.

    He replaces Ollie Robinson.
