6.56pm Innings break England need 251 to win. There's going to be at least 24 minutes tonight if there is no rain. That could be six overs. Head has produced a blinder in really tough batting conditions to give Australia a chance. He controlled the strike, protected the tail and cleared the rope. But England will be pleased with their work overall. We're in for another rollercoaster chase.

Justin: "Very impressive innings from Head, but Australia about 50 runs short of a minimum target, England should win from here. " Highest score on the pitch so far is 263. Every innings has got gradually lower from there.

Aayush: "No way England are chasing this!" The counter is that this is a great chasing ground. Lots of 300 plus chases here in the last six years in first-class cricket and of course in Test cricket, including 2019.

Broad to Head, OUT, holes out to deep midwicket! Duckett holds his nerve! Full in the slot, Head got what he wanted but he got underneath it too much, hit it high but not long enough, Duckett camps under it and catches it very well!
