Fat lady is warming up.
England need 78 for the last wicket.
England have shown some fight & spirit in this 4th innings but left themselves with far too much to do getting all out for 67 in their first innings. Brain-dead giving away of his wicket by Bairstow. 4 for 48 since lunch.

Credit to Australia who have bowled well throughout this game.

Some batting by a very tired Stokes since I wrote that. 350-9 up. 9 runs or 1 wicket to win.

[ACT Crusader]

Leach on strike. 8 to win and 2 balls remaining in this over.

[ACT Crusader]

Leach survives a short one.

[sparky]

Cummins wastes it with a bouncer.

[ACT Crusader]

Leach survives half a shout for LBW. Looked down leg side for me. Oz reviewing.

[ACT Crusader]

Not out and over.
