7.3 to DA Warner, searing in at Warner and his stumps are toppled! It was the cross-seamer, like the previous ball, only it still manages to swing. Beats him for pace, beats him for movement and sends him back. Big strike for England, and what was the length?. 57/1 7.4 to SR Watson, it just had to happen, right? MCG, big, raucous crowd, Broad is in his element! Terrific length and the line is impeccable on off stump. Brings the batsman forward and jags the ball away, steals the outside edge and the keeper does the rest. England are right back in it!. 57/2 | ||||||||||
| Chris Woakes | 10 | 0 | 65 | 1 | 6.50 | 22 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
10.3 to SPD Smith, inswing! Beautiful inswing! Gets the inside edge, knocks into off stump and Smith is on his way. He was moving around the crease a touch too much and the fuller delivery cuts back in to fool his front-foot drive on the up and makes him hear a sound every batsman hates. 70/3 | ||||||||||
| Steven Finn | 10 | 0 | 71 | 5 | 7.10 | 28 | 8 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
38.1 to GJ Bailey, oh, he's gone now! Drags it on and England have got rid of the set batsmen. The fatal slice to point against a good length ball outside off ends up an inside edge to knock middle stump. Good, solid innings from Bailey. Australia needed that.. 228/5 45.1 to MR Marsh, length ball has done the trick! Marsh holes out at long-off! The crowd roars it Root's ears as he settles beneath the miscued forehand-slam from the batsman and takes it comfortably. 281/6 49.4 to BJ Haddin, swings and gets a thick outside edge that tests Broad at deep third man and he passes it with flying colours. Runs in, keeps his eyes all the way on it after Haddin looks for the boundary with a big slog as is necessary with only two balls left, he's played a little gem here. 342/7 49.5 to GJ Maxwell, skews it down the ground and Root has taken an absolute blinder! It was full and speared in at the batsman's legs, credit to Maxwell to powering it that far down the ground but Root has made this wicket. Races to his right from long-off, dives full length and grabs it low with both hands. Text-book awesomeness!. 342/8 49.6 to MG Johnson, at-trick for Finn, and a five- for! That's a third time a bowler has been two-in-two today and Finn is the only one to convert. It was back of a length, Johnson backed away and slapped it straight at mid-off. Has a wry smile on his face and the reason is that Australia have piled up 342!. 342/9 | ||||||||||

4.4 to MM Ali, tried to force one too many, didn't pick the right ball, didn't pick the right bowler. Starc's been generating some serious pace, and this shortish ball reaches Moeen a bit too quickly. A mistimed pull shot lands in mid-on's hands. 25/1 36.1 to SCJ Broad, first-baller and the stumps right up! Eight wickers down, all to the Mitches. And this was a yorker any fast bowler would he proud of! Ripped right through Broad's defences. 194/8 | ||||||||||
| Josh Hazlewood | 6.5 | 0 | 45 | 0 | 6.58 | 22 | 6 | 0 | 3 | 0 |
| Mitchell Johnson | 8 | 0 | 36 | 2 | 4.50 | 35 | 4 | 0 | 3 | 0 |
35.2 to CR Woakes, slower ball outside off, lifted a bit too high into the air and well, don't bother it's Smith under it having back-pedalled from mid-off. So it's bound to be taken. Beaten for the lack of pace and England's fiesty resistance seems to be at an end. 184/7 37.1 to ST Finn, Johnson v tailender... only one result! Vicious bouncer on middle, Finn appeared rooted, defends to protect himself and stared bemusedly at where the ball might have gone after it popped up off the splice. Mitch knew exactly where it was though as he runs up and takes the easiest of caught-and-bowleds. 195/9 | ||||||||||
| Mitchell Marsh | 9 | 0 | 33 | 5 | 3.66 | 33 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
9.4 to GS Ballance, trap set, trap sprung! It's a good length ball on middle, and it shapes in at him as well. Ballance can't help himself but go for a flick and he's picked out Finch at short midwicket. 49/2 13.4 to IR Bell, speaking of Mitches... This was a slower, length ball and Bell has decided it had to go. Got onto the front foot and slogged it quite well. Only he forgot to calculate for Starc lurking on the midwicket boundary there. 66/3 13.5 to JE Root, two in two! And Marsh is sure pulling his weight! Becomes the fourth man on a hat-trick today as he gets Root to top-edge a short ball that Haddin tracks down around fine leg. 66/4 17.6 to EJG Morgan, six balls, no runs, poor shot, Morgan's form appears to be like a mythical creature that just cannot be found. It's the slower short ball and he goes for a pull, can't adjust for the lack of pace, and gets a cue-end to Haddin, who dives to his left and forward as well to complete a spectacular grab. 73/5 21.2 to JC Buttler, Marsh has five, but this wicket is all Smith's! What a stunner at short cover! Forget Superman, just look at this guy leaping to his left and sticking out both hands that grapples a full-blooded bludgeon!. 92/6 | ||||||||||
