So Lyon finishes with four wickets, while Cummins, Marsh and Siddle took two apiece. England will be pretty happy with their efforts in that innings, underpinned by Denly's 94, and need ten wickets to seal the first drawn Ashes series since 1972.

Lyon to Leach, OUT, tossed up on off stump, Leach tries to follow Broad's lead with a big mow over midwicket but top-edges it up, up, up.... and into the hands of the off-balance Hazlewood running round from mid-on. Australia need 399 to win!

94.6

Cummins to Broad, no run, length ball, and finally an orthodox bit of cricket as Broad is drawn forward on the defensive and is beaten outside the off stump
94.5
0
Cummins to Broad, no run, fuller, on fourth stump or thereabouts, Broad hurtles outside his leg stump again, has a flash at it and gets nowhere near it!
94.4
6
Cummins to Broad, SIX, length ball on leg stump, Broad clears the front leg, and gives it the big ol' heave-ho over midwicket for another six! There is nothing, I repeat nothing better in Test cricket than watching Stuart Broad bat when he's in this ridiculous mood
94.3
0
Cummins to Broad, no run, short ball, has another swat at it, and misses it again

Bizarre field now, Smith is at long-stop right behind Paine, and there are four out deep on the leg side

94.2
0
Cummins to Broad, no run, short ball, Broad jumps outside his leg stump like he's got an errand to run at square leg, Cummins follows him, he tries to upper cut and misses it completely!
94.1
6
Cummins to Broad, SIX, bosh! Length ball, Broad steps outside leg and thuds this for a maximum over midwicket! Not timed sweetly by any means, but enough on it to evade Siddle's reach on the fence

Adam Sadler: "Who is Bancroft on for?" Harris, who split the webbing in his hand yesterday. We're not sure yet if he'll be OK to open the batting, but will keep you up to date.

Lyon to Leach, no run, fullish on off stump, popped out into the off side, and Leach sets off for a single and is sent back

Thomas Corcoran: "I'm always afraid to post on Cricinfo, because my parents might find out that I'm following the cricket instead of doing homework!" Mr and Mrs Corcoran, I have some bad news for you.

Cummins to Broad, no run, short ball to start, and a jumping defensive shot off the back foot that flies away into nomansland

This should be fun - time for England's new number 11, Stuart Broad

A nothing dismissal really, just a little strangle down the leg side and brushed the glove on the way through. Archer is a pretty useful number eight in first-class cricket but has been dire with the bat in international cricket so far!

92.3
W
Cummins to Archer, OUT, length ball, slightly down the leg side, 85mph/137kph, looks to flick to leg and misses out. Paine appeals, and is convinced by this one so reviews... Looks like this has just skimmed the underside of the glove. Yep, decision overturned! Stop press: Tim Paine has successfully reviewed!
