54.6
Green to Bairstow, 1 run, this time there's a thick top-edge as Bairstow pulls. Lands safely to the left of deep midwicket. Don't think it was short enough to pull, resulting in the miscue

32.6
Green to Stokes, no run, back of a length on off, blocked from the crease

30.2
Green to Stokes, no run, full into the stumps, Stokes works it to mid-on
30.1
Green to Stokes, no run, what's happened here? Stokes shoulders arms to a ball that nips in sharply. There's a big deflection. Did that hit the pad or the off stump? Finger goes up from the umpire for LBW and Stokes reviews promptly. Oh this is so bizarre. That's actually smashed into the side of off stump, nowhere near the pad. How has the bail not been dislodged? The LBW decision will be overturned and Stokes gets away. He has a big laugh about it and why won't he
21.6
Green to Bairstow, no run, sprays it down leg and Bairstow leaves
21.5
Green to Malan, out Caught by Khawaja!! Off the glove and taken at leg slip. What a field placement this from Australia. Green gets the deserved wicket in this spell. He smashed Malan on the glove twice in the over before. So Malan was so worried in his back foot defence. There's Uz Khawaja staring at him at leg slip. So anything short and at the ribs is uncomfortable. Malan fends in hope, but the fielder was perfectly placed fine enough for it to carry off the glove. Khawaja stays low and completes the catch to make it 36/4. Off they go for a tasty lunch! Malan c Khawaja b Green 3(39)
21.4
Green to Malan, no run, oh nooo! On the bottom glove again and Malan is jumping and flinging the hand on pain. This is painful to watch. Australia absolutely hammering England. Shortish and jumping at the batter, Malan tried to defend, the bounce meant the couldn't meet with the bat

19.4
Green to Malan, no run, appeal for LBW. Not out says Tucker and rightly so. Looked high. Green is bowling really well. Got this to cut back in from good length, Malan pinned on the crease and missed the defence. Ball-tracker confirms ball bouncing over leg stump
