Fifth Ashes Test. The Oval.

[K]

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.

[K]

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."

[K]

Lloyd: "Good pace from Mitchell Marsh... A surprise. High 80s."

They were suggesting previously that he's been faster than Siddle.

Holding: "A bit wide though."

[K]

Cummins bowls Root. Again! A very lucky innings of 57 ends.

England 4/170 (56.1). Buttler in.

Shades of last Test in that dismissal.

Taylor: "Just the one bye in 4.1 overs. ..."

Holding: "That front foot hasn't really gone anywhere..."

[K]

Big appeal for caught behind. Not out. They're interested... They review!

Not out. Review lost. (Again.)

Buttler survives. The bowler was Marsh.

Holding says Oz is operating at 20% in reviews.

[K]

Bairstow plays and misses.

Holding: "Can see though that the ball is swinging around a bit."

Another maiden from Cummins.

[K]

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.

[K]

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.

[K]

Marsh is getting it to swing a long way.

Athers: "He's bowling beautifully."

[K]

Marsh gets Curran, nicking a wide one to Smith.

England 6/199 (64).

This has been a mediocre day for Oz, but a very good day for Marsh, who has 3/31 and a catch, while his teammates have 3 dropped catches and a wicket-costing no ball.

Gower says 4 out of the 6 wickets have been the batsmen's fault.

[K]

Hazlewood returns.

Buttler drives the last ball of his over for 4 to bring up the England 200.

[K]

Marsh gets Woakes LBW! It was full and straight, and Woakes doesn't review.

England 7/205 (65.5). Archer in.

Marsh has 4 wickets now!

Should Marsh have played earlier in the series?!

Ball tracking confirms it was headed for the stumps.

[K]

Hazlewood hits Buttler.

Ponting: "He took his eyes off the ball."

[K]

Marsh continues after drinks.

Ponting reckons the yorker that got Woakes may have been accidental.

[K]

Hazlewood gets Archer caught behind.

England 8/226 (70.4).
