Callum Matthews and Tom Mallows

  1. Eng 591-9

    They have run another bye through to Alex Carey again! Jonny Bairstow on strike on 98.

    This is almost comedy cricket.

  2. Eng 590-9

    Lead by 273

    Jonny Bairstow creams it through the covers for another four - he moves to 98.

    The England balcony thought that was a six for a moment.

  3. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    This is so damaging for Australia, they're dazed and confused.

  4. Eng 586-9

    Lead by 269

    And now Jonny Bairstow had under-edged away for four!

    He moves to 94.

  5. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Carey's missed the stumps, it must've been a fluke at Lord's.

  6. Eng 582-9

    Lead by 265

    And now England have run another bye as the ball goes through to Alex Carey!

    This is carnage.

  7. Eng 581-9

    Lead by 264

    More ragged stuff from Pat Cummins as he fizzes another one way down leg side for four byes.

  8. Not now, Al.

    Raining in Trafford Park. Expect it soon.

    The England players all have their whites and caps on in the dressing room. You'd be a brave man to tell Jonny Bairstow you're pulling out now...

  11. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    It's the first time Australia's three top seamers have gone for more than 120 against England.

    This is all psychology from Stokes in terms of waiting to declare. The Aussies look so worn down and know they have a very difficult task ahead.

  13. Eng 577-9

    Lead by 260

    Cameron Green comes into the attack and bangs one into James Anderson, who fends the ball off just wide of short leg and England run a quick single.

    That only brings Jonny Bairstow on strike as he looks to continue his assault on the Australia field.

    He duly obliges, pulling a bouncer fine for four.

    Bairstow moves onto 90.

  14. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket writer at Old Trafford

    I've lost count of the amount of times Australia have set a field with nine men on the boundary in this series. "Right lads, spread out". More likely to have a cow corner than a third slip.

    I hope those saying Bairstow should be dropped for this Test have got their humble pie out of the freezer.

    Ollie, Hudds.

  16. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I can't believe that wasn't a wide.

  17. Eng 572-9

    Lead by 255

    Pat Cummins looks frazzled as he ends the over with four byes down the leg side and is lucky for it not to be called a wide.

  18. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a feeding frenzy in the crowd. Jonny Bairstow is putting on an unbelievable show here.

  19. 6 runs

    Eng 568-9

    Jonny Bairstow has nearly hit over the Pennines! That is a huge hit over mid-wicket for six.

    Ben Stokes' reaction to that was priceless.

    What superb hitting.

  20. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Wow, now that was some shot! That has gone flat to the boundary.
