Well played, Stuart Broad.
He rides the bounce well and pushes the ball into the turf.

Another boundary.
Stuart Broad backs away and drives Pat Cummins over cover and once it clears the fielder it's a boundary on this outfield.

BBC Test Match SpecialThis is the danger, particularly if Starc bowls short Stokes will be able to dispatch it for four or six.

Sir Alastair Cook
Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialAustralia will be absolutely desperate to get these two out. England will want to get as close as possible or get a lead.

Ben Stokes is going to go hard!
He tries to shank Mitchell Starc through mid-wicket but picks out the fielder.
The England captain then nurdles round the corner for four, before smashing a pull to the fence too.

Sir Alastair Cook
Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialYou feel like Stokes has to get his feet on the accelerator but I don't know if he can. He'll try to dominate the partnership from now, but can he do it?

Ben Stokes is the best in the world at keeping and using the strike while batting with the tail... just need the tail to play ball and let him do his thing to make some sort of dent in this total.

Ben Ellis: So the plan is: Biff it around and see what happens! Settle for a deficit of around 80! Bowl Australia out for around 200! Chase down 280 - 300! 2-1 with 2 to play! Simple.
Eng 168-8published at 44 overs

Pat Cummins fires the final ball of the over down the leg side so Ben Stokes can't reach it.
That means Stuart Broad will be on strike to Mitchell Starc.

BBC Test Match SpecialIt was sweet and quick. Some will call that a cameo from Wood. It must be the fastest 24!
