    8.6 goodness me, he's cracked it to cover! Short and wide again, again Marsh doesn't keep it down and drives off the back foot almost straight to Bennett at cover. Neat catch, that was traveling. The captain has given it away 60/2

    1.5 dragged on! Evans strikes early. Just back of a length outside off. Head looking to play square through the off side, takes the bottom edge into the stumps. Cramped for room. That's four drag-ons in a row for Head following the Bangladesh Test series 10/1

    17.4 bowled him! Connolly walks off this time! Crazy over. Darted in towards middle, good length, Connolly stays leg side and plays for no turn and it just grips a touch to beat the outside edge and cannon into an exposed off stump! 107/4

    12.6 what a catch! A stunner from Taylor. Slip had come out, he had to do it himself. Round the wicket, full outside off, Inglis drives and gets a thick edge. Taylor dives full-stretch, low to his right, and holds a blinder. 83/3

    49.2 sends this high into the leg side, and it's taken by deep midwicket running in. Nyamhuri has his maiden five-wicket haul! It was a length ball outside off, Renshaw looks to clear the leg side but only gets elevation, not distance. Excellent innings 288/8

    42.6 oh no, he's trod on his stumps! Short of a length, Peake goes deep in his crease, and after making contact with the ball his momentum takes him too far back. The back foot knocks the stumps 254/6

    45.5 taken at cover! Short outside off, slower ball, Bartlett looks to clear the off side but can't get the elevation and it's neatly taken on the edge of the ring 269/7

    13.3 holes out to long-on! Brilliantly bowled. Taylor skipped down and Renshaw dragged the length back a touch, he wasn't to the pitch and miscued off the inside half of the bat and it floats to Bartlett running in off the rope 62/4

    30.3 what a beauty! Ellis is having a great day. Good length, pace on, to nip away late at Ervine, beats the outside edge and takes out off stump. That was a crackerjack delivery 160/5

    39.1 Given lbw! Madhevere reviews. He was trying to sweep a full ball drifting into middle. No bat involved and it straightened after pitching. This looks trouble for Madhevere. It hit low on the pad. Ball tracking says hitting middle! Plumb and a review lost 199/7

    44.4 top edge floats to Johnson at short third! Zampa knew the slog sweep was coming again, a straighter line with more topspin was delivered, the top edge floats to Johnson on the circle and he takes this easily 235/9

    43.1 an appeal for lbw given not out but Australia review. This looked to pitch outside leg. Back of a length, it thundered into the pad quite high as he tried to whip square. No bat. Height not an issue given Ellis' trajectory. It pitched in line and is hitting middle! Great review by Marsh. Ellis has four 227/8
