Trail by 132
Alex Carey is booed out onto the field. He must be getting used to that by now.
The left-hander sees off the last couple of balls of the over but it's a good one for England and Jimmy Anderson.
Anderson is 10 away from 700 Tests wickets. There are still 15 for England to get in this match... No? Fair enough.

BBC Sport at The OvalLook at Jimmy Anderson's smile.
If you're not smiling too you're heartless.
The crowd bursts into a rendition of his song.

Marsh b Anderson 16 (Aus 151-5)
BOWLED 'IM!
Jimmy Anderson has his wicket and it's a big one - Mitch Marsh is gone.
There had been a bit of nip and swing for Anderson and maybe that causes the indecision from Marsh.
The ball did very little but Marsh prodded tentatively outside off and the ball ricocheted off his inside edge and cannoned into leg stump!

It's a double bowling change. Jimmy Anderson is back into the attack, hoping to find some of that swing we've seen since lunch.
Aus 150-4published at 60 overs
Marsh 16, Smith 24
Four from Joe Root's first over. It's a tidy one bar one delivery that looks to slip out of his hand and down leg.
Steve Smith just about catches up with it and hits it fine for two.

The ball might be swinging more than it has in this match but Ben Stokes wants to see a bit of spin.
Here comes Joe Root.

Another bruising shot from Mitch Marsh in that last over after he launched Stuart Broad for six now long ago...

Belted back down the ground for four by Mitch Marsh to end the over. It's another superb shot from the big all-rounder.

Former England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialWe've had all sorts of lengths bowled in this Test, but Broad has stuck at the same orthodox and traditional length.
Aus 139-4published at 58 overs
Just a couple of singles from Stuart Broad's latest.
The floodlights are still on but it is looking that bit brighter now at The Oval. There is still some movement to assist the seamers, though.

How good is this set-up from Stuart Broad to end Usman Khawaja's vigil?

BBC Sport at The OvalThe crowd is more into this Test now than they have been at any time previously. There are ooohs and ahhhs as Chris Woakes beats the bat.
Stuart Broad has been responding to some shouts of encouragement from the crowd down in front of the press box.
Aus 137-4published at 57 overs
Maiden over from Chris Woakes - and a good one from the England seamer.
Steve Smith was beaten twice in a row. The first nipped away off the seam to beat the edge, the next swings late to beat it again.
Close but Smith survives and you'd think he remains the key wicket.

Cricket statistician on Test Match SpecialStuart Broad has become the first bowler to reach 20 wickets in this series. It's the fifth Ashes series where he has taken 20 or more wickets. Only Shane Warne has done that in more series, doing it six times.
Broad has taken 20 or more in the last four Ashes series in England, plus the 2013-14 series in Australia. Players who have taken 20 or more in four series are Glenn McGrath, Dennis Lillee, and the great 1930s spinner Bill O'Reilly.
For England, four players have three 20 wicket Ashes series, Broad now has five. The English bowlers to do it three times are Ian Botham and Bob Willis, before that, Bobby Peel and Tom Richardson.

Here is the second of Stuart Broad's two wickets since lunch. A beauty to get a feather of an edge from Travis Head through to Jonny Bairstow...
Aus 137-4published at 56 overs
The end of an entertaining over and we've just seen the ball-tracking of that lbw appeal against Mitch Marsh.
It was straight enough but just a touch too high. Umpire's call. It would've stayed with the not out decision even if England had gone upstairs.
