0.4 to DA Warner, caught behind! Five times for Broad! Warner trying to leave made his decision to late! Got a little outside edge before withdrawing the bat. Easy catch for Bairstow! It was a good length but way wide of off. It didn't shape away much. The tightness of the previous leave maybe caused doubt for Warner and he was too late to withdraw the bat!. 1/1
6.6 to MS Harris, huge LBW appeal and given! Harris reviews. The umpire took awhile and Harris took awhile to send it upstairs. It was a good length angled in, no bat, it nipped past the inside edge but hit the front pad above the knee roll. Ball tracking says it's hitting the bails! Umpire's call and it stays out! He was caught on the crease so height wasn't as big a factor. Good call from Dharmasena.. 28/2
48.4 to TM Head, LBW! Head talks to Smith but doesn't review. That looked pretty adjacent. Angled in on a fuller length, Head's eyes drifting outside the line, he drives hard down the wrong line and is hit flush on the knee roll infront of middle and leg. Height and angle maybe a query but he was on the crease. He didn't review.. 183/4

60.5 to MS Wade, length outside off, has a massive heave which goes miles up in the air... Root at mid-on watches it fly up, has enough time to set himself, roll up his sleeves, finish off his cup of tea and then pouch it. Brainless shot! Bit of a nothing ball from a negative angle, Wade hadn't got going at all and lost his patience, hoping to mow this over cow corner, and top-edged it straight up. 224/5
104.6 to PJ Cummins, edged and caught at slip! Sharp turn and an easy catch for Stokes. He didn't over step this time. Nice loop, drifting in outside off, it gripped and bounced, took the edge and Stokes took an easy catch, knee high at slip. 387/7
2838523.0313112030
39.2 to M Labuschagne, got 'im! Just full of a length, Labuschagne prods forward, the ball bursts through his defences off the seam, and nicks the top of off on the way through! Overton breaks the stand - a similar ball as the one that brought him his first Test wicket at Adelaide in 2017. Absolute beauty of a delivery. 144/3
101.1 to TD Paine, caught behind! What a peach! 74mph but a beautiful leg cutter! It was a scrambled seam angled in, perfect length, it bounces and seams away a touch, Paine gropes forward trying to defend, feathers an edge and Bairstow celebrates a simple catch.. 369/6
31802.66131000
603916.50164100
117.5 to SPD Smith, caught on the reverse sweep at backward point! He's finally out. He reverse sweeps hard and flat but straight to the man at backward point who finally holds on! It was a leg break from Root, he picked and smoked the reverse sweep but found Denly. 438/8

84.5 to JM Bairstow, through him! That could change things for Starc. Trademark dismissal. Good length delivery, swings back at Bairstow who goes for the drive and leaves a big gap. Loose shot against the new ball, but excellent bowling. 228/6
88.3 to BA Stokes, got 'im! Starc gets Stokes with a ripper, a bit of nibble away off the seam from over the wicket on a length, Stokes nibbles at it and his outside edge is well held by Smith at second slip! Massive, massive breakthrough for Australia. 243/7
101.5 to SCJ Broad, cleaned him up! Broad not in the same postcode as that one...full, swings back in at off stump, smashes into the timber. 283/9
2565742.281277001
11.3 to C Overton, edged and straight to Smith at second slip! Brilliant bowling. The perfect length angled in, fourth stump line, it hit the seam and straightened, caught the edge as he prodded forward, it flew at pace, waist high to Smith who pouched it very comfortably. 25/2
64.2 to RJ Burns, edged and taken at second slip! Finally some reward! Wobbling seam, pitching on off, on a good length, it nipped away, he defends from the crease, it catches a thick edge and flies knee high to Smith who claims the sharp chance to his left. Good bowling and good catching. 166/3
66.6 to JE Root, got 'im! Trapped in front, length ball, nips back off the seam and doesn't get up much off the pitch, hits Root flush on the pad and that looked stone dead. Root doesn't review, and off he trudges. 175/4
72.4 to JJ Roy, BOWLED 'IM! Jason Roy's middle stump goes flying back and Hazlewood roars in celebration. See ya later! Great ball, nip-backer that moves late off the seam, bursts through Roy's fairly nothing-y defensive prod and sends him back on his way. Crucial breakthrough with the new ball approaching, Hazlewood and Australia on a roll. 196/5
2466032.501196013
6.5 to JL Denly, gone! Brilliant catch at short leg! Length ball on off stump, Denly gets a little inside edge onto the pad, Wade snatches at it, it rebounds up off the chest and he snaffles the second chance diving forward with one hand! Denly's horror show is finally brought to an end, and Australia go wild in celebration. 10/1
92.6 to JC Archer, edged, and gone! This is a pretty poor shot, really. Length ball, just outside the off stump, which gets up well of the surface and nips away a touch, and his airy waft only succeeds in edging it behind. England in trouble!. 256/8
106.6 to JC Buttler, all over as Buttler aims to big shot down the ground, doesn't make contact and it strikes the off stump...hold on, they are checking the no-ball. It's tight, very but the third umpire rules fractionally okay - bit like the Malinga one during his four wickets in four balls!. 301/10

1445423.85627010
0.6 to DA Warner, given lbw! Broad's done it again! A straighter delivery, good length, spears into the pads and Warner is trapped deep in the crease. A pair for Warner, his first in Tests and three ducks in a row. 0/1
6.1 to MS Harris, huge appeal and given lbw! Harris has called the review. Similar to the first innings, round the wicket, takes him on the knee roll. No inside edge, just a question of the stumps...and it's three reds on hitting leg stump. 16/2
1424533.21647001
9.3 to M Labuschagne, big shout and gone! Labuschagne reviews, looked out to the naked eye. Quite full, and very straight, Labuschagne was looking to defend... ooh there might have been a little inside edge here... nope, no bat involved... clipping the bail between middle and leg and Archer has his man! Marnus is spitting and gives some chat in the general direction of England's huddle, only to be waved off on his way. 24/3
13.6 to TM Head, tiiiiimber! Archer wins the battle! Ooh, another look at the front foot... he's pushing the line, but there's a fraction of the boot behind the line. Little bit of movement in from around the wicket, full and straight, Head is trying to defend but this rips through him and pings middle stump out of the ground!. 44/4
39.2 to MS Wade, gone! Great catch by Bairstow! Length outside off, Wade looks to slash it away through the covers, gets a thick edge and Bairstow - at full stretch - sticks out a hopeful left hand and it nestles in his glove. Archer wins the battle with Wade. 158/6
5.512203.77231020
905816.44257000
38.1 to SPD Smith, length outside off, Smith shimmies down the track and belts this miles up in the air, Stokes moves round to his left from long-off, set himself... and snaffles it! Smith falls for his lowest score of the series, would you believe, after a quite remarkable innings. 149/5

BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB

0.3 to RJ Burns, leading edge, and gone! Full of a length and straight, Burns looks to work it into the leg side, gets a leading edge, and it floats up to wide mid-off/short cover! Head takes a pretty straightforward, knee-high, and that is exactly the start that Australia would have wanted. 0/1
0.4 to JE Root, BOWLED 'IM! Absolute ripper from Cummins, England are in disarray! This is more or less the perfect delivery for a right-arm seamer to a right-hander. On a length, nips away off the seam, kisses the top of the off stump past Root's defences, and Cummins wheels away in celebration. What a start for Australia!. 0/2
24.6 to JJ Roy, bowled through the gate. There's the opening Australia were seeking since the morning, and it's Pat Cummins - again - who has delivered it. Roy has been pushing forward through his innings, and been vulnerable to the incoming delivery. Cummins gets the length and movement perfect and rearranges the stumps, with a big gap left between bat and pad.. 66/3
30.2 to BA Stokes, Stokes is walking - what a massive moment! This was a corker of a delivery, bowled on the stumps, back of a length, insistently pushing Stokes on the back foot and so close to his body that he had to play at it. He realised too late that wearing the blow on his body might be better and was taking the bat out of the way. It must have got a tickle through - as soon as Paine moves to his right to gather it, he was celebrating, Cummins was appealing. And then Stokes was walking, even though the umpire hadn't indicated anything.. 74/4
17.353121.77893000
74.2 to JC Buttler, left alone and it's hit off stump! That's the moment for Australia. Hazlewood has made this old ball hoop and this one bends in from outside off, Buttler leaves it alone and pays the price. Memories of Jones to Clarke on this ground in 2005. Brilliant form Hazlewood, ends a superb innings from Buttler. 172/7
91.3 to C Overton, rapped on the pads and the finger goes up! Of course Overton will review, but I think he's a goner here. Length ball, nipping back in, don't think he read that, and it hits him on the knee roll, in front of the stumps. And it's three reds. Australia will retain the Ashes. It was a fantastic fight by Overton, and England, but Australia relentlessly kept at it and broke through in the last hour. What a match. What a finish.. 197/10
29125121.751414000
39.2 to JL Denly, there it is for Lyon! The extra bounce does the trick, this is back of a length outside off, jumps at Denly who can only fend it off the glove to short leg. 93/5
75.5 to JC Archer, scoots through low and it's gone! Not much Archer could do about that one, back of a length in the footmarks, grubs through and he's on the back foot. Might have gone under the stumps. 173/8
1624612.87766000
53.1 to JM Bairstow, strikes first ball back! Bairstow given lbw but he's gone for a review. Caught on the crease to a length ball, bowled from around the wicket and nipping back into him. He didn't account for the movement and the ball goes past his inside edge to strike the knee roll. DRS shows two reds and umpire's call on hitting the stumps. Bairstow's resistance is done, and Starc has broken through. 138/6
41912.25170000
89.5 to MJ Leach, caught by short leg! What a move by Paine to bring on the leggie! Ripped one into the rough on a length outside off, and it rears up at Leach, who fends it off from near his stomach, but it takes his gloves and pops up to the fielder stationed there. End of a great resistance by Leach. 196/9
