8.39pm Australia will bat again Warner and Harris sprint off the pitch, for a 17-over stint under the lights. Interesting decision, but maybe a night's rest for the quicks is prudent with two full days yet to come. And two more sunsets obviously.

And then, familiar carnage as Cameron Green unsettled Root, before Nathan Lyon provided a crucial old-ball threat with his offspin. Stokes and Woakes resisted up to a point, but the rest of England's batting was abject. This goose is cooked. How crispy do you want the skin? Alex will be here in a mo to find out.
