    Mark Wood is bowling his heart out here.

    Mitch Marsh is off the mark with a single down to fine leg.

    Mark Wood and Chris Woakes have taken a combined 23 wickets at an average of 17 since coming back into the side at Headingley.

    They are dragging England back into the Ashes.

    Mitch Marsh is the new batter.

    There are 20 minutes until stumps.

    Old Trafford is really buzzing again.

    Head will have a long and successful Test career but he is going to get a lot more bouncers from now on.

    Head didn't see it and my word Mark Wood is such a good bowler. He causes so many problems.

    MARK WOOD!!! You're making yourself an Ashes hero!

    Travis Head gets in a right tangle, seeming to be confused that a short ball is coming for his body.

    He seems to lose sight of it momentarily but his bat is just sticking out and he pops up a simple catch for Ben Duckett at gully.

    Wood has 3-15.

    England are convinced they're going to nail Head with the short ball.

    Marnus Labuschagne is rather irritatingly looking good.

    He picks up four more with a gorgeous flick through mid-wicket.

    Ominous for England.

    Mark Hollings: Don’t underestimate the Jimmy Anderson spell with that Mark Wood wicket. Got it reversing, a little unlucky not to get a wicket or two and went for hardly any runs. Mentally Smith went for a hook you would never see him play normally. Good team play.

    Arghhh. England have been taking their short leg in and out throughout this innings but this would have popped straight up for them.

    Marnus Labuschagne gets into a tangle, trying to play a short one from Mark Wood, but the ball just lands safely.

    Harry Brook immediately goes in but no other concerns for the Aussie number three in the over.

    I've got a feeling you're all going to want to watch this wicket a few times!

    Here's Mark Wood getting Steve Smith.

    Keep an eye on Ben Stokes celebrating at the end of the video too. Loves it.

    Jonny Bairstow has just dropped his helmet that's been passed to him.

    Chris Woakes been absolutely superb in this Test again. That short ball really surprised Marnus Labuschagne.

    The Aussies are wrapped up in hoodies and hats on the changing room balcony.

    Rachel T: Friday evening, Woody galloping in, Aussies on the ropes. LIFE IS GOOD.

  17. Aus 98-3published at 33.4 overs

    Catchhhh ittt.

    No.

    There's cries as Marnus Labuschagne looks to pull away and the ball loops up but it is over Jonny Bairstow.

    It definitely hits the helmet, but does it catch the edge of the way through? It's hard to tell.

    Labuschagne is fine to continue after a quick concussion check.

    Chris Woakes is coming back on.

    He got David Warner earlier.

    Australia are in a little bit of potential bother here.

    Travis Head is the new batter. Unsurprisingly Wood starts with a short ball but Head ducks under it.

    A reminder the scheduled close is 18:13 BST tonight and we can play until 18:43 to make up the overs. There are still 18 left in the day so we definitely will be.
