Holding: "What a surprise. Another maiden from Hazlewood."
If only Siddle could bowl that well...
------------------------------------------
Lyon bowl's the last over before tea.
Holding: "Odd ball has spun. Nothing too alarming."
England 3/169 (52). Tea.
Fifth Ashes Test. The Oval.
Healy thinks Oz would be happy to escape with 6/280 at stumps, but he wants 7.
Healy: "That laziness ... has got to stop."
He says the decision to bowl was wrong, but the bowlers and fielders can get them out of that mistake.
-----------------------------
And who better to start things off after tea than Pat Cummins?
Holding on the "Winx" nickname of Cummins: "The difference is that he cannot do it all on his own ... and his fielders have let him down today."

A very lucky innings of 57 ends.
Marsh gets Bairstow LBW! But he reviews.
Is it going down leg? It was full and swinging in...
No, it's hitting! Three reds! England lose a review.
England 5/176 (59.4). Curran in.
Athers: "He's got the ball swinging more than anybody else."
Taylor: "Australia are back in the game."
Lisa: "The door is slightly ajar to knock England over."
Nasser tells us 12 outswingers in a row to Bairstow and then an inswinger. "And he nailed it first time."
Impressive from Marsh.

Curran hooks Cummins for 6.
Athers says the boundary there is shorter than it used to be.
Two balls later, LBW! It was full and on off, coming back. There's a no-ball check. It's very tight. No ball. Undisciplined...
(I wonder whether G. Baum is going to write baloney claiming Curran made Cummins bowl a no ball, as he claimed Smith made Leach do.)
Nasser: "He's always tight..."
Another LBW shout. Not out.
