    I've got some bad news for you, Peter.

    Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow only lasted 5.3 overs this morning.

    This game won't see the 5th day. For England to win, they must win the next two sessions.

    Finally out of work meetings! How are Root and Bairstow getting on?

    Everyone going on about Mark Wood's unbelievable pace. Broad could bowl that quick if he didn't have Warner in his back pocket!

    You just have a sense that something has to happen with Mark Wood here.

    Oohs and aahs from the England slip cordon as Usman Khawaja is beaten by Chris Woakes.

    Less than 20 minutes until tea now. Will England get another wicket?

    Why doesn't Warner stay in the hutch & the Aussies just start at 1-1. It would speed up play.

    Just a single from Mark Wood's first over.

    You can't help but feel he's going to be key in this second innings.

    Here's a reminder of what Wood did yesterday.

    Slow start from Mark Wood.

    Just the 88mph and 89mph for the first two balls.

    Speed it up, Woody.

    I'm a massive Mark Wood fan so I think this is the right move.

    They are going to be very happy, Tom.

    Mark Wood, fresh from taking five wickets in the first innings and smashing 24 off eight balls, is coming on.

    The fans around me are already calling for Mark Wood to be brought into the attack.

    Where did that come from?! A completely uncontrolled stroke.

    "Catchhhh".

    Feel like Sam and I have both said that a lot today.

    A bit of bounce surprises Marnus Labuschagne and an edge loops up but it falls short of point.

    That's a huge touch of luck for Labuschagne.

    Want to watch England smacking Australia all round the ground?

    Here you go.

    England hit 95 runs in 10.2 overs after lunch. It was full of drama and quite remarkable shots, firstly from Mark Wood and then Ben Stokes.

    Re: 15:05. This Mike Atherton character certainly enjoyed getting out to the same bowlers!

    Jake

    'This Mike Atherton character'?! Please tell me you're joking, Jake?

    Also, to be fair to Mr Atherton, the bowlers he kept getting out to were pretty handy...

    Usman Khawaja takes a single from Stuart Broad's final ball to keep the strike.

    There's around half an hour till tea. England will want more wickets.

    Not only has Broad got Warner out in both innings of this Test, he's also scored more runs than him.

    I’ve just asked Glenn McGrath if he’s worried about Stuart Broad breaking one of his records.

    McGrath holds the record for times dismissing one batter, having got Michael Atherton out 19 times. Broad, meanwhile, has got David Warner out 17 times.

    Glenn’s response is he should have had 20, before proceeding to tell me about a lbw appeal he had turned down.

    Things feel a bit more sedate at the end that Chris Woakes is bowling from.

    I wonder how long it will be before we see Mark Wood?
