And so we are down to the final innings of this Ashes. England will need 271 to make it 3-1. Still odds on that Australia make it 4-0 (and it could happen today) but there is the smallest of glimmer of Joe Root's team. Fantastic effort from Mark Wood and well supported by Stuart Broad. Don't go anywhere, the next passage of play will be very lively. I'll be back in a few minutes

Wood to Cummins, OUT, cleaned up! A career-best six-wicket haul by Wood. A length delivery at the stumps, Cummins has a huge swing to the leg side and misses

PJ Cummins b Wood 13 (50m 33b 1x4 0x6) SR: 39.39

Wood to Cummins, no run, is that a glove down the leg side? Nope. The appeal is aborted. Cummins going for the pull

Praveen Kumar: "At this stage do you think english bowlers have done enough to call this even at this stage? Or do you think its still advantage Australia." Massively advantage Australia

Broad to Carey, OUT, edged, caught behind! No half century for Carey. Round the wicket, wide outside off, he reaches out for it and gets a thin inside edge. He had some luck, but important runs from Carey

Kalindu: "That highest total at Hobart could have ended up with a SL win with several records broken. Sangakkara was given out incorrectly by umpire Rudi Koertzen when he was in 192. Still pains me even to think about it. "
