    If ever Livingstone has needed to justify his position in the team it is now.

    Cummins has been excellent. He's hammering that heavy length with that occasional short, sharp ball or the cutter. He's only gone for 27.

  3. Eng 174-5

    Liam Livingstone into the fray. Pat Cummins is going to challenge him outside his off stump here.

    You can see how angry Ben Stokes is, he's left his bat on the boundary, his helmet, his gloves. He's walking up the tunnel to the changing rooms all on his own. He was just starting to tick, starting to purr.

    WICKET

    Stokes c Stoinis b Zampa 64 (Eng 169-5)

    For Pete's sake, Ben...Some of you might be using more industrial language than that.

    The England Test captain swivels to helps a delivery from Adam Zampa round the corner, but he's slightly off balance and not quite in control of the shot.

    "No" says Stokes knowing immediately he's slog swept the ball straight into the hands of Marcus Stoinis on the 45. Stokes looks skywards as he trudges off, willing divine intervention.

    A huge wicket for Australia. A massive psychological blow as well.

    If one of these batters can bat for the next 10 overs, a few cameos around them, then the game is probably England's.

  7. Geoff Lemon
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Minimal sort of shot, effortless, just lifted that elbow and away it flew.

  8. Eng 169-4

    Oh Moeen Ali, behave.

    Slightly full from Josh Hazlewood but the England left-hander crisply pierces the field with a Delicious cover drive.

    Quick clip that one up, guys...

    It even gets a smile and nod of approval from Ben Stokes who had the best seat in the house for that.

  9. How's stat?!

    England's win predictor has moved seven percentage points in the last five overs.

  10. Eng 163-4

    This is pure velvet from Moeen Ali.

    Timing us mere mortals can only dream of.

  11. Eng 162-4

    Moeen Ali gets over the top of a short ball from Marcus Stoinis and ruthlessly pulls it behind square for four.

    Stoinis is furious with his team-mates, his own bowling and life generally.

    Are the Aussies showing signs of cracking up here?

    FansGetty Images

    Pat Cummins wants to bowl Adam Zampa to stifle this England momentum, but the leggie has been off the field and the Australia skipper is told by the umpires he has to wait a little longer.

    Marcus Stoinis is thrown the ball instead and Moeen Ali brings up the half-century stand with Ben Stokes with a leg glance which runs away through third for four.

    Are the England fans so petty as to want to win to jeopardise Australia's chances of progression? Yes. Yes we are.

    Richard, Sheffield

  14. Eng 152-4

    England break this chase down into little manageable segments.

    A beautiful drive from Moeen Ali as he crisply stokes Josh Hazlewood down the ground for four. That's the 150 up for England.

  15. Eng 147-4

    It's been scratchy knock from Ben Stokes at times, but there have been a few touches of class in there as well.

    Australia say Mitchell Marsh will rejoin their squad on Monday after he returned to Perth for personal reasons.

    His grandfather passed away on Friday.

    He's like Vin Diesel. Stokes plays the same role all the time, but just looks a bit craggier. We know what the ending often is too...

    Stokes has decided it's time.

    And another! This time Travis Head is walloped over deep mid-wicket for six.

    Ben Stokes is on the march.
