    “It’s going to get tasty!” says a man just along from me. It feels that way.

    Anyone hoping for a serene England chase is likely to be very disappointed.

  2. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    That was the first maiden of the innings.

  3. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    That was not a nice shot from Brook. It was a horrible hack to mid-on.

    He didn't look comfortable against the short ball at Lord's, but not many did - there were so many of them.

  4. Eng 94-3

    Target 251

    Good over from Scott Boland. He's just honing in on an area and testing out Harry Brook.

    The England batter tries to cross-bat the one short ball away but mis-times it horribly to mid-on.

    There's a nervous hum around Headingley at the moment.

    Zak Crawley is just James Vince for the Tik Tok generation. If you play nothing but cover drives you will occasionally make the odd good score... And more often you won't.

    Josh in Plymouth.

    Zak Crawley is the most predictable batsmen. He's a bowlers dream. 5th stump and he will Nick off at some point. Preparing for the old classic England capitulation.

    Rich

    What a perfect microcosm of Zak Crawley. Liability.

    Luke in London

  6. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    What a moment for Harry Brook on his home ground.

  7. Eng 94-3

    Target 251

    Harry Brook, who has been demoted from three to five in this innings, is the new batter.

    He's off the mark with a clip off his hips out to deep square leg.

    Lunch is at 13:15 BST today. It feels like the next 55 minutes could go a long way to deciding this game either way.

  8. Right, a little sense check.

    England need another 158 runs to win. Australia need seven wickets.

    An England win makes it 2-1 and keeps the Ashes alive.

    An Australia win sees them go 3-0 up and they win the Ashes. It will be their first win in England since 2001.

  9. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    He is very angry with himself, you can see him swinging his bat around.

    Zak Crawley played a few gorgeous shots but has just tried one too many. It was ever so slightly straighter from Mitchell Marsh, not quite there to drive.

    Oh dear… here we go again!!

    Jens, Kent

  11. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    He's trying to repeat the shot. It was a real ambitious swish outside the off stump.

    WICKET

    Crawley c Carey b Marsh 44 (Eng 93-3)

    Four and out.

    Poor shot? Clever bowling? Maybe a little bit of both.

    This one isn't quite there for the drive, it's a bit shorter and tighter to Crawley, but he goes for it anyway.

    It gets a little big on him too, and an edge, from near the top of the bat, goes through to Alex Carey.

    Australia are just chipping away.

  13. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    That is a handsome stroke. A shot of real authority from Zak Crawley.

  14. Eng 93-2

    Zak Crawley!

    A bit of width from Mitch Marsh and the England opener crunches a drive to the cover boundary.

    Superb shot.

  15. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Joe Root is lucky there. It's a thick outside edge and you can see him look behind him as soon as he hit it, because he's nervous.

    It may not have carried anyway, but it's lucky.

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Joe Root has been very busy with his running between the wickets, as he so often is.

    He's played some lovely shots but some ugly ones too.

  17. Eng 86-2

    Target 251

    Four runs to the Engeerrrlanndddd.

    It comes off the edge of Joe Root's bat but he is playing with soft hands and it goes down, and through the slip cordon, before running away to the boundary.

    Another 165 needed, folks.

  18. We're going to have a change of ball.

    A chunk of leather is sticking up between the seam and the umpires want to change it rather than snip it off.

  19. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Joe Root was a long way down. It was a bit high actually, even if it was straight enough.

  20. Eng 82-2

    Big shout from Scott Boland from lbw against Joe Root.

    He likes it a lot, but he has practically no support from any of his team-mates and Australia don't even contemplate the review.
