    Decent start this for Aus. Keeping calm and making life easier for themselves.

    15-0.

    England not finding anything too untoward in the pitch so far.

    Weatherald survives a wrong decision.

    Body language from the England team says it all. They know this one is slipping away from them.

    Game well and truly going Australia's way. 19 runs off the last 10 balls.

    Pressure now on Ben Stokes.

    Travis Head is making this look easy. Beautiful batting.

    27-0. Stokes has got nothing from his openers.

    Australia off to a flyer. 39-0 off eight overs.

    Incredible turn around in this game since lunch. Confident, clever Cricket by Australia.

    It feels like England's only chance in this Test now is for Ben Stokes to come on and get two or three quick wickets to crack the game back open.

    50 partnership up. Head going at more than a run a ball. Australia are striding towards the target.

    It's confident batting from Travis Head, but England were reckless

    Australia now 1/9 favourites to take a 1-0 lead. What a turn around! A comeback for the ages!

    England have blown this since they were 60-1. They look a ragged rabble.

    All the momentum now with Australia.

    That ball to Marnus was the first one that looks to have done much all innings.

    I was thinking the pitch had settled down - as per Atkinson and Carse doing well out there - but, maybe there's still a bit out there.

    Will the English media claim the moral victory?

    England need to get one of these two quickly.

    House of cards later with the likes of Usman, but Bus Change looks like he's finally remembered what the purpose is of the bat in his hands.

    Stokes into the attack is the big play.
