But Starc bowls Bairstow! 89.2mph.

England 6/228. (84.5). Buttler in.

Nasser: "One that went across, followed by the big inswinger."

Starc draws level with Merv on 212 Test wickets.

Isa says she'd like to see his hand position that got that late swing.

---------------------------------------

They show the wicket ball and the previous side by side.
Nasser thinks it was natural variation, and the one that came back was a better wrist position.

Stokes hooks the Hazlewood bouncer. It skews in the air over Paine for 4.

Then 4 lb.

Buttler hits on the up not too far away from mid off for 4

Gower: "So often he plays that shot. He might time it sweetly, but it does go in the air."

They show his Headingley dismissal.

Starc gets Stokes nicking to slip! :smile:

Gower: "This is a beauty. Starc today is not the same bowler as yesterday."

England 7/243 (88.2). Archer in.

Taylor: "This is the Mitchell Starc we hoped to find. ... Today he's bowling beautifully."

Lisa: "And it's late swing."

Gower: "That carries at pretty much the ideal height."

-----------------------------------

Buttler cover drives a 4.

Gower: "Slightly too full..."

Holding: "We're just beginning to see inconsistent bounce. And that's why Australia are targetting the stumps."

Wade is having a lot to say.

We're told Archer has 6 half-centuries in county cricket.
Gower: "All statistics come with ... caution, I would say."

Short extra cover is in now for Buttler, for those lofted cover drives.

Starc beats him. It was close to off stump!

Buttler edges to ground and wide of second slip for runs.
Holding is not pleased there are only two slips.

England 7/250.

Gower: "That formation is a rather strange one."

4 byes now.

Big appeal for LBW. No shot played to Lyon. Not out. They talk. They review.

Still not out. It always looked too high. Last review burnt.

Quoted for accuracy - just missed Leach because he was given not out when clearly lbw. Just amateurish stuff - from the Australians and from the umpire concerned.

Cummins gets Spudler, bowled. All out 301. Australia lead by 196 and could be at least 200 in front by the time Broad gets Warner.

No, I spoke too soon. Warner lbw to Broad for a duck. Time for a spell of T20s for Davey, I think.
