Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialAs Stokes looks to celebrate he drops the catch. It's such a difficult one to call because he knew and that's why he didn't want to review. He has lost control of the ball there.

Sir Alastair Cook
Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialAbsolutely the right decision from the umpires, he didn't have it under control to have the catch.
That is a moment.

No. No. No.
Ben Stokes has dropped it!!
The England captain takes a superb one-handed catch above his head but as he comes down, and celebrates, the ball comes out of his hand. Does he hit his thigh on the way down?
It was Steve Smith. A massive moment.
It's England's Mitchell Starc at Lord's moment.

It's definitely hit the glove.
We're now just checking the catch.

This may have come off the glove.

Have England got Steve Smith?
There's a lot of confusion.
Is he caught at leg slip? Is it lbw?

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThis period now, an hour since the last wicket, it's in Australia's favour.
Aus 237-3published at 65 overs
Travis Head doesn't fancy taking it on at the moment.
Jonny Bairstow has a bit of a chat with Joel Wilson at the end of the over. It seems to be about Bairstow moving from off-side to leg-side and back and forth during the run-up from Mark Wood.

Target 384
With less than five minutes till lunch Harry Brook is encouraging Travis Head to take the short ball on.
There's a little giggle from Brook after.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialMoeen has to be braver and throw the ball wider into the rough.
Aus 236-3published at 64 overs
Target 384
A little bit of drift for Moeen Ali but it allows Steve Smith to nudge round the corner to the short boundary.
England have conceded a lot of runs down there - largely off Usman Khawaja yesterday - in this innings.
Australia need 148 more runs. England seven wickets.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialWhen you think of the Australian batting to come, Mitch Marsh can also take the game away from you.

Target 384
Steve Smith looks in ominous touch. He wants to guide Australia to their first series win in England since 2001.
He picks up four more with an emphatic drive through the vacant mid-off and moves to 32.
The crowd are doing their best to lift Mark Wood but he looks very tired and sore.

Travis Head and Steve Smith are threatening to take this game away from England again.
Aus 225-3published at 62 overs
Target 384
Two singles from Moeen Ali's over.
There's a little bit of spin there but nothing too drastic for the England spinner at the moment.
Lunch is at 13:25 BST today by the way, as we make up time lost to the rain yesterday and the 10-minute delay this morning.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialI find it amazing the different positions Head gets into for the short ball yet he still manages to get runs.
