Australia have actually bowled very well as there’s nothing in this wicket. Malan’s doing very well here. The Stoneman wicket was ludicrous, a disgraceful decision.
230/4 at drinks, I can actually see England scoring 400 here.
It was a beast of a delivery from Starc to Stoneman. Stoneman did have a bit of a guilty look in fairness, but he was given not out and in the absence of conclusive DRS evidence, it was a wrong decision.
267/4 after 80 overs. Malan 92 n.o. Barirstow 55 n.o.
New ball not taken.
Dawid Malan moves onto 102. First English century of the series. 290/4. Fifth wicket stand of 159.
England 305/4 at stumps on Day 1. Malan 110 n.o, Bairstow 75 n.o. Terrific revival from 131/4.

Lyon breaks the 5th wicket partnership at 237 with Malan departing on 140. 368/5
Moeen Ali wretched series continues. Out second ball for a duck. 372/6. Different dynamic now with Australia into the tail.
Ali gone for a duck 372-6
Woakes departs 389/7
Starc clean bowls Bairstow. 389/8. England will do well to make 400 now.
Overton departs 393/9
A mammoth 6 from Stuart Broad to move England to 402/9
England all out for 403
Two quick wickets for the excellent Craig Overton.
Both openers gone. 55/2.
203-3 at the close. England have left them right back in it with the latest batting collapse.
Rain seems to be a certainty for Sunday afternoon and parts if Monday, so every chance it will be rainaffected
410/4.a hiding on the cards.
Whilst captain marvel will rightly get the laurels i think Khawajas 50 was crucial to this.
