    This shows you what extreme pace does to people, it really puts you on edge.

    How often do you see 100 in a session and then a collapse?

  3. Aus 258-9published at 59.1 overs

    Four for Todd Murphy.

    An under-edge just evades the stumps and Jonny Bairstow and runs away to the boundary.

    Can you imagine what would have been if England had a fully fit and available Mark Wood over the years? Rapid…

    Scott Boland survives.

    Headingley applauds Mark Wood.

    Mark Wood is terrorising Australia here with his pace and bounce.

  7. Aus 254-9published at 58.3 overs

    Wow!

    Mark Wood beats Scott Boland with an absolute beauty that moves away and just evades the outside edge.

    Superb bowling. Wood has been excellent.

    Mark Wood has got 4-34 now.

    He's got number 11 Scott Boland in his sights.

    There are four balls left in the over...

    Australia's innings are fading here. I don't think that was the right option for Alex Carey, perhaps the blow on the helmet unsettled him a bit.

    Carey c Woakes b Wood 8 (Aus 254-9)

    Carey's gone! First ball after being hit on the helmet.

    The Australia wicketkeeper backs away and just shanks it to Chris Woakes in the covers.

    Australia have lost five wickets for 14 runs in 6.2 overs. Chaos.

    While we wait for play to get started again, you might as well watch Mark Wood bowl Mitchell Starc too.

    Here's how Mark Wood dismissed Pat Cummins.

    It's just out.

  13. ouch!

    Aus 254-8published at 58.1 overs

    Oh!

    Mark Wood has hit Alex Carey on the back of the helmet.

    The Australia physio is coming out. We'll have a delay while Carey has a concussion check.

  14. View from the press boxpublished at 16:30 British Summer Time 6 July 2023

    Daily Mail's Lawrence Booth on Twitter: Mark Wood's pace ruffling Australia's lower order. Suspect England could have done with it in the dying stages at Edgbaston. From 240 for 4, Australia are 254 for 8.

  15. Aus 254-8published at 58 overs

    Alex Carey takes a single off the fifth ball and will take the strike for Mark Wood's next over.

    Pain and then joy for Joe Root.

    He dropped Alex Carey and then held onto Travis Head the following ball.

    That was the start of three wickets for four runs after tea.

    Huge reception for Mark Wood from the England fans as he makes his way to his fielding position on the boundary. He responds with a very polite doff of the cap.

    Chris Woakes goes short and Alex Carey loses it and ends up copping one on the right shoulder.

    Cheers from the Western Terrace.

    Chris Woakes has replaced Moeen Ali.
