Pat Cummins 1-129(23 ov)
106.6
Cummins to Bairstow, FOUR, that almost goes the distance. Was a shorter delivery outside off and Bairstow stands tall and smashes it over cover, just lands before the cushions as Bairstow moves to 98* - he'll have to wait for some more time
106.5

106.4
Cummins to Bairstow, FOUR, short of a length outside off, Bairstow attempts a flashy cut, gets an underedge that has raced away to the third man boundary. Just a big hit away from the three-digit mark now
106.3
Cummins to Anderson, byes, 1 run, and they have stolen a bye right from the keeper's mitts. Anderson was beaten on this short of a length delivery, but Bairstow is quick to change ends, the keeper goes for an underarm throw, but fails to hit

104.6
Cummins to Bairstow, byes, FOUR, freebies! Australia are losing the plot here. Length delivery speared down leg, it keeps going away from Carey with the angle and he can't even get a glove on it. They keep Anderson on strike but at what cost?
104.5
Cummins to Bairstow, SIX, oh my word, he's mowed this! Full and right in the slot on middle, Bairstow clears his front-leg and smokes this for a huge six over deep mid-wicket. Stokes is left gaping after seeing that!
104.4
Cummins to Bairstow, no run, length delivery outside off, heaved down towards cow corner
104.3
Cummins to Bairstow, SIX, hammered over the boundary again! This isn't even very short, just short of a good length outside off, Bairstow is on the front-foot as he short-arm jabs this straight over the deep square leg ropes. Again it goes flat
104.2

83.1
Cummins to Stokes, out Bowled!! Labuschagne got out for 51, Mitch Marsh was dismissed for 51, and now Stokes departs for the same score. He's out for 51. This was angled into the left-hander by Cummins from round the wicket, and Stokes tried to flick this across the line. Through the gates, or probably off an inside edge and the stumps have been rattled. Playing such across the line shots in this format will eventually result in your downfall. A pretty handy knock by the England captain, nevertheless. Stokes b Cummins 51(74) [4s-5]
