nearly bowls bancroft but they get a bye

Any sizeable lead here could be handy with lyon!

9 off ali's first over but a lot of turn in the pitch

broad to bowl his fifth

A bat pad and a silly mid off in now for broad

broad completes his 5th over

he's been a bit looser this innings so far

bancroft out to ali caught at short leg

Bancroft gone.. soft dismissal. 

That is me done..off to bed.

ah thats a real shame

Australia really needed to dig deep and survive 10 overs here and couldn't do it

Warner out trying to leave, fair enough. That was a bad wicket though from bancroft...

long way back from here

when your facing a team a bowler down its criminal to give away a soft dismissal with the match on the line!

edged and just short

6 and a wicket off that over

loose ball from broad and khawaja whips him for 4

loose short ball hip height down leg side gets pulled for 4

back to back boundaries

wide followed by half volley on the pads

looser over so far from broad

13 off broads 6th over. At least he's starting to tire

Ali bowling well changes the equation mind you...

khawaja looking more comfortable against spin than I'm used to

Ali bowling a nice slow 50mph

4 down legside

6 off that over and its drinks

I'm guessing woakes to bowl at the other end. Probably get 3-4 good overs out of him so another tricky period

Morning all. I missed all the action up till now.

Seems like Australia is hitting out, which isn't the worst idea.

I see Bairstow failed again. And Ali too...

Woakes unbeaten - as per.

No Anderson is a huge blow for England. 

some signs of fatigue from the bowlers already

if we were none down here Australia are probably ahead of the match given the bowling should deteriorate

There have been so many times in this match where I felt "survive a couple more overs and there will be joy" but we haven't been good enough

still time to change things

What's the word on Anderson? Is he gone, or could he bowl tomorrow?

smith hit in the groin first ball

England appeal for lbw but way too high, aiming for the wrong middle stump I think....

Even if he can bowl tomorrow he has to wait a while since he has been off the field right?

very good over from woakes, drew a couple of edges but smith survives and gets off strike

key period here

probably 2-3 more good overs from woakes before he tires

leg slip and silly mid on against smith

commentators think the silly mid on is to annoy smith

worked against haydos

ooo good ball well left

pitch up on middle moving away

full face of the bat from khawaja covering the small movement

starting to look a touch organized here

Woakes pace just dropping a fraction here

survive that over from woakes

hopefully he starts to loosen slightly
