Fifth Ashes Test. The Oval.

[K]

Buttler marks his guard. He crouches down and stretches a bit.
...

Leach edges Marsh for 4.

[K]

Cummins bowls Buttler! He swung across the line and played it on. 70 (98 ).

England 9/294 (86.1). Broad in.

[Donny]

A Michelle for Marsh.

All out 294.

[K]

Oz finally get Leach out, playing on. They've struggled to dislodge him this series.

[Pies4shaw]

Mitch Marsh with 5/48. They really can’t bat, can they?

[K]

Moment of truth for Warner. He won't get better batting conditions than this.

[K]

Warner thick edges Archer, coming around the wicket, for 4, just wide of gully.
...

Warner flashes a cut and misses. Appeal. Not out. They review.

Waiting forever for Ultra Edge...

Spike. Out.

Picking Warner for this Test was trying to throw away the series.

Oz 1/5 (1.5). Marnus in.

Gower says the spike is a little out of synch with the picture...

Hmm...

[K]

Big appeal for LBW by Broad against Marnus. Not out. No review.

Marnus gets 2. They review for run out. He's safe.

Meanwhile, debate rages about that Ultra Edge overturn. (Well, maybe not: maybe everyone agrees there was enough doubt not to overturn.)

[K]

Archer from around the wicket beats Harris's outside edge.

Oz's opening partnership this series has averaged 7.44, the lowest in history. I guess a miraculous big second innings could move it above the 8.50 Oz averaged in 1888.

[K]

Archer gets Harris, nicking to Stokes at second slip.

Oz 2/14 (5.5). Smith in.

Again, everything depends on these two...

[K]

Marnus on drives Broad for 4.

Nasser, Warne & Ponting discuss Warner's dismissal. Their eyes tell them not out. The only justification for the decision is pop psychology. They reckon Warner did not look too angry walking off.

That's very dangerous... If you use pop psych. like that, then disgraces like Roy get rewarded for their bad behaviour.

[K]

Archer beats Smith outside off. Second time today.

Warne: "Decked off the pitch like a legbreak."

Ponting says Smith looks on edge. He says the bowlers have to wear him down, keeping it outside off.

[K]

Curran now. He's 21. He looks like he's 12.

He starts with a full wide ball, but Marnus cannot pierce the field.

Ponting on Marnus: "If he does have a technical issue, it's that he commits quite early on the front foot."
Ponting says he had the same issue.

But Marnus drives for 4.

Now an appeal for caught behind. Not out. THe clock runs down... No review. It looks like the bat hit the ground.

[K]

Ultra Edge shows something for an early Marnus flirt down the legside off Broad. England did not really appeal, and did not review. Nasser says he may have got away with one.

[K]

Curran beats Smith.
His hands go to his face.

Meanwhile, I have no idea who this new commentator is, paired with Lloyd... His diction is a bit mushy.

Smith moves across his stumps very early and very far, and drives for 4.

Mystery commentator: "There's no footwork there, just hand-eye coordination."
