    Here's how Harry Brook was dismissed.

  3. Eng 488-7published at 94 overs

    Lead by 171

    Jonny Bairstow keeps the strike with an inside edge into the leg side.

    It seems pretty sun at Old Trafford again by the way.

  4. Eng 487-7published at 93.3 overs

    Lead by 170

    Mark Wood is off the mark with a thick edge down to point.

    What does Jonny Bairstow do here? Play normally or swing?

    Very similar shot to how Woakes was dismissed. This is what Australia do, they're relentless with their line and length.

    Oooooh!

    Josh Hazlewood beats the outside edge of a prodding Mark Wood with the hat-trick ball.

    Josh Hazlewood is on a hat-trick...

    Mark Wood is the new batter. He is greeted to massive cheers.

    That's a sign that England won't mind seeing. It wasn't a bad ball and again the new ball is taking wickets, so I am going to go back to that question of why didn't they take it sooner?

    Woakes c Carey b Hazlewood 0 (Eng 486-7)

    First-ball duck for Chris Woakes.

    Lovely bowling from Josh Hazlewood as he finds a little bit of movement and draws Woakes into playing.

    There's a little bit of extra bounce and it flicks off the outside edge and through to Alex Carey.

  10. Eng 486-6published at 93 overs

    Lead by 169

    Streaky from Jonny Bairstow as an inside edge flies past the stumps and away for four.

    Good running and placement twice brings Bairstow a couple, before the England keeper flicks into the mid-wicket fence to end the over.

    12 from it. Good one for England.

    Australia got a wicket with the new ball, I just don't understand why they didn't take it sooner.

    England have paced it fairly well and I think they could have gone harder.

    Chris Woakes joins Jonny Bairstow in the middle.

    England's lead is 159 with 20 minutes left until lunch.

    Will we see a change of approach?

    It's a clean catch and a very good one.

    Brook c Starc b Hazlewood 61 (Eng 474-6)

    Another one goes! The new ball brings a wicket in the second over.

    Harry Brook comes down the track and looks to pull away. It comes off the top-edge of the bat and initially we thought it was going to land safe, but Mitchell Starc takes the catch at fine leg.

    There's a brief check of the catch, but Starc does well to avoid brushing the boundary sponges.

    Given that Australia are the number one team in the world it's astonishing to see that it's going this way.

    When the ball is swinging for Mitchell Starc, that's always a good sign.

  18. Eng 472-5published at 91 overs

    Lead by 155

    Just a single from the first over with the new cherry.

    There was a little bit of movement for Mitchell Starc.

    It's the first time Australia have taken the second new ball in this series.

    What difference will this new ball make? Wickets or runs?
