    A change from Australia.

    Mitchell Starc, who got Ben Duckett and Moeen Ali in his first spell, is back on.

    I can see the Yorkshire rose flying in the Western Terrace after those Harry Brook fours.

    Is Harry Brook tuned in? He's batting like he heard you mention the rain.

    Target 251

    Good stuff from Harry Brook.

    He's solidly in behind two forward defensives before working a single to third to keep the strike.

    That is a very elegant shot.

    He has got some work to do in terms of choosing the right deliveries to drive, but he has picked those two perfectly.

    Be done with time to spare, Dan!

    A half-volley from Scott Boland and Harry Brook drives to the boundary again.

    He's up to 16 off 18 balls.

    Keep focused, Harry.

  7. Eng 110-3published at 24.1 overs

    It might if Harry Brook keeps playing shots like this, Dan.

    He just pushes into a cover drive and it races away off the practice pitches for his second boundary.

    There is some rain due around three o'clock.

    This game isn't necessarily going to end today.

    Target 251

    Australia have got three slips for both Joe Root and Harry Brook but apart from that the field is pretty well spread.

    That allows the England pair to work four singles round Headingley.

    The first chants of “Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire!” from the increasingly, um, refreshed Western Terrace greet that booming drive from Harry Brook.

    Marnus Labuschagne is very annoyingly brilliant in the field.

    If that goes for four, it just relaxes Joe Root a little. They are keeping the pressure on him.

    Target 251

    Better from Joe Root as he waits for the ball to get to him before pushing a drive towards mid-off.

    Marnus Labuschagne does brilliantly to get across though and keep the England batter to a single.

    Earlier in the over Harry Brook was cut in half by an absolute beauty from Scott Boland, and even Alex Carey couldn't keep hold off because of the movement.

    They could still do it by seven.

    That's not far off, is it?

    I have got a lot of nervous energy.

    I was told my Michael Vaughan and Phil Tufnell that England were going to stroll to victory by nine wickets.

  16. Eng 100-3published at 22.1 overs

    Shot!

    A little uppish from Harry Brook but he times the straight drive so well that it flies past Scott Boland and races down the ground for four.

  17. How's stat?!published at 12:30 British Summer Time 9 July 2023

    There has been 40% more swing since the ball was changed, CricViz have told Sky Sports.

    Joe Root is not looking himself, he's quite frantic.

    Oh, that was a real heart-in-mouth moment.

    Target 251

    Joe Root does not look like himself at all.

    He's taken by surprise at one that bounces slightly from Mitch Marsh, before being completely squared up by the Aussie all-rounder.

    It takes the edge but it falls a fair bit of short of Usman Khawaja in the slip cordon.

    This 'new' ball is doing a fair bit.
