Australia lead the series 3-1. Today's result has been great for the series. Three dead rubbers would have been too many in a series that already has one match too many. Peter English's bulletin has been updated. It definitely wasn't Australia's Day.

The next game is at the Gabba on January 30. Join us then. Cheers!

Lee makes room, and flays the ball over extra cover. Four runs but it's all futile now

full and wide outside off stump, Lee was making room and was then too far away from the ball to play a shot

48.5
2
Anderson to Lee, 2 runs

Lee swings with all he's got, and he mis-times it. The ball hangs in the air for ages and then falls safely

yorker. And a terrific one. Lee gets beaten and the ball blazes between stumps and body

full toss on leg stump, Smith should have hammered that but he failed to make proper contact

2
Tremlett to Smith, 2 runs

full ball and Smith blazes it towards deep cover where Morgan sprints to his right and dives to make the save. He ball slips out of his grasp as he is sliding but he keeps his calm to grab it again. Terrific effort and the throw back to Tremlett is top class. Tremlett broke the stumps and that was a close run out call. Why didn't anyone appeal? Smith looks short of his ground

47.5
Tremlett to Smith, no run

slower short ball, Smith swings hard and misses. Did I hear a groan as he didn't connect with anything?

Tremlett to Lee, 1 run

Lee flat bats another full ball down the ground towards long on

47.3

47.1
1
Tremlett to Lee, 1 run

short of a length ball and Lee mis-times the slog, the ball falls safely inside the circle near mid-off
