Drinks are being taken. I think we all need a breather - although England might be quite keen to get on it!

Cummins c Stokes c Moeen 9 (Aus 294-8)
Eight down!
It's a wild swipe from Pat Cummins! Slightly too short from Moeen Ali, the batter tries to heave it leg side and gets an under edge onto his pad.
The ball loops up and Ben Stokes makes up the ground from leg slip to get rid of the Australia skipper.
Two to go for England...

I'm with Cook, take the new ball, we took it too late previously, take it now while they still need over 90 and let Broad bowl them over!

Target 384
The end of the eighth over of Chris Woakes' spell. Might that be it for him?
What chance a little Stuart Broad burst to wrap it up for England?
For now, Moeen Ali will continue.

I live just around the corner from The Oval. Listening to the coverage online, annoyingly I'm hearing the roars from the crowd. Sat here like a nervous wreck, wondering whether it's a 'wicket roar' or a 'ohh that was close roar'.

Need another 93 to win
England decide against taking the new ball, at least for now, and Pat Cummins guides the first ball of Chris Woakes' over wide of the slips for four.

Sir Alastair Cook
Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialI would take the new ball, I think it's a positive option. I do think the new ball should seam more, it might not swing as much.

If it's Alex Carey who wins this after everything that happened at Lord's it would be quite the story.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialWhat a session of play for England, this is not over. Pat Cummins is a very dangerous batter here.
I'm really excited, this Test series has been brilliant.
Aus 288-7published at 80 overs
Target 384
Risky from Alex Carey. He's on the sweep again, gets a big top-edge and - for a moment - it looks as though Chris Woakes is in the game, two thirds of the way back at deep backward square.
It lands safely and they run two. The runs required are down into double digits for Australia but the second new ball is available.

Want to watch England take four Australia wickets in four overs?
You're in the right place.
Tuck in.
Aus 284-7published at 79 overs
Target 384
Chris Woakes snakes another delivery past Pat Cummins' outside edge. This has been some spell from the England bowler.
Ben Stokes has got a big decision to make shortly. The second new ball is available after one more over but the home side have just taken four quick wickets with the old one.

Woakes by far the player of the series. He is the Master of English Conditions!
