Bruce : "As usual, the tail has wagged" That's what makes England such a difficult side to beat these days. We'll be back in 40 minutes or so, and Andrew will tell you all about it.

Hazlewood to Woakes, 2 runs, shorter from him to end. Slapped to long-on and Woakes calls Rashid back for another two, and they finish with 302. That's an excellent effort given they had the specialist batsmen all gone by the death, and lost the first over off the first two balls. England the happier side going in, but this is a fantastic wicket for batting. We've got a phenomenal chase coming up.

Hazlewood to Woakes, 2 runs, slower ball, smeared down to cow corner for two. 50 for Woakes, off just 38. Such a clever innings, and how these runs might matter in three hours or so

Hazlewood to Woakes, FOUR, poor bowling. Full and wide, and that one was punished as it should have been. Carved through the gap past backward point and Woakes is one away from a priceless half-century

Hazlewood to Woakes, 2 runs, lobs it over cover, and a diving stop from Labuschagne prevents what looks a certain boundary

Hazlewood to Woakes, no run, charged down the track but the change of pace bests him

Hazlewood to Woakes, FOUR, that's a ridiculous shot. Went across and initially appeared like he'd lap it to fine leg, but opens the face and squeezes it fine of short third instead. Brilliant thinking
Jhabin: "It's more fun to read then watch.. " Why thank you

Starc to Rashid, no run, moved across and Starc responds with a bouncer. Rashid tried to smear it anyway, but he's beaten. Eventful over, that

Starc to Woakes, 1 run, the full toss was carved down to the cover boundary
Khabin: "Can they linger for 300?" Perhaps they can and I was wrong after all.
Starc gives Rashid a warning. Doesn't Mankad him, but let him know

Starc to Rashid, 1 run, helicopter shot from him this time. Whips it down to long-on and gets a single

Starc to Rashid, SIX, Ho ho ho! That was as premeditated as they come. Rashid moves across and shows all three stumps, but smashes it over square leg. That came cleanly out of the middle, and he's joined in the fun

Starc to Woakes, 1 run, this one was a bit too wide, which meant Woakes couldn't quite middle it. Flew up off the bottom edge, but as has happened so often today, it lands safely
