WICKET! England 160-6 (Brook 52)
Harry Brook is gone – and Brendan Doggett has his first wicket in Test match cricket!
It’s a cheap one. Brook swings at a short one and gloves it behind to Alex Carey. Oddly, Carey was the only one to appeal, but Australia reviewed and then immediately, Brook started walking off!
Snicko confirmed the clear glove. A big blow for England…

England 160-5 (Smith 28, Brook 52)
Smith is going quickly here. In no time at all, he’s up to 28 runs off just 17 balls.

FIFTY FOR BROOK! England 152-5
Smith follows Brook’s lead with a lovely front-foot drive down the ground for four before another four to the leg-side.
And then comes Harry Brook’s half-century, pulling downwards to the leg-side for a single. Five fours, one six off 58 balls. It’s been just what England needed…
Smith concludes the over with another four down to fine-leg. 14 from that Starc over!

England 138-5 (Smith 9, Brook 49)
Smith finds the gap for four, before a smashing shot from Brook somehow doesn’t find the rope, but they run 4!
He blocks the final Boland ball, one short of a half-century.

England 129-5 (Smith 4, Brook 45)
Brook takes Starc on, first through the off-side and then down the ground with two fours in a row.
Starc shakes things up – first with a short ball and then with a wide yorker. The pair smile at each other…

England 121-5 (Overs 26)
Indeed, hawkeye shows the ball missing leg stump. Review lost – both teams now have two apiece.
Boland didn’t seem too bothered – it was Smith who pushed it!
Jamie Smith rubs it in by claiming four runs down to third man to finish the over.

REVIEW!
Australia review for lbw.
Boland on Smith, given not out. Probably sliding down leg I think…

England 115-5 (Overs 25)
Smith survives, blocking well.
But another terrific over from the Australian bowler. He’s been the man of the moment so far…

WICKET! England 115-5 (Stokes 6)
Another beauty from Mitchell Starc – right through the gate as Stokes swings wildly to no avail, with the ball crashing into off-stump!
That’s Starc’s fourth of the day! England in trouble again…
