Wade hooks Archer and top edges for 6!
It went comfortably into the crowd. I'm not sure how edgy that was... I need another replay.
Here it is. Well... I don't know.
Athers: "Before this OCS stand was built, it was a much bigger playing area..."
He says it would not have been 6 then. |

Leach around the wicket to Paine.
There is a fly or bug on the spidercam!
Athers: "A long way down for that beetle."
For Paine, they have a slip and a short leg.
Paine cuts and misses. |

Wade flashes and misses at Archer.
Athers: "That was a lazy shot. Wade was upset with himself for playing it."
They need Wade to go big and Paine to hang around. |

There were 16 dot balls in a row, but now Paine milks the single off Leach.
Oz are creeping towards 200, almost halfway to the target, with half their wickets left. |

Wade pulls Archer comfortably for 4, to bring up the Oz 200 and the 50 partnership. The target is now 199.
Archer has words for Wade.
There's a man out on the hook. Archer gives the stare.
Archer keeps bowling short. Wade and Archer have a staring contest. The crowd cheers.
Oz 5/200 (55). |

Big appeal for LBW. Dharmasena takes forever and give it out. Paine reviews.
No bat. It looks grim.
3 reds. Out.
Oz 6/200 (56). Cummins in.
Wade is beginning to run out of partners now. If only Smith could have hung around.
Taylor: "That was a strange shot." |

Nasser: "Ben Stokes is like a backstop to Jonny Bairstow."
3 men back on the hook. Gully.
Wade flirts and misses.
Nasser calls for the knuckle ball.
Cummins is hit but survives. |

1972 was the last time an Ashes series was drawn.
Around tea time, Wade had used his feet down the track 55% to Leach.
Nasser says this morning he was doing a lot of sweeping practice. |

Appeal for LBW against Cummins. Not out. |

Wade drives Archer for 4.
But then Archer hits him on the shoulder. Archer approaches and makes faces at Wade. It's a no ball.
Next ball, Wade glances for 4, after a stuff-up on the boundary. 95.6 mph.
Nasser: "Brilliant contest." |

Oz 6/211 (61).
Wade 88*, Cummins 0*.
Cries of "catch!" It falls safe on the pitch.
Leach beats Cummins.
Warne: "The pace is slower. ... It's down to 52. ... It has the chance to grip in the surface."
Cummins inside edges for 2. |

Wade gets a thick edge over gully for 4.
Archer goes for the cut and edges to ground and then slip.
Archer claps. He's carrying on like a pork chop.
Lloyd: "I think Wade has sucked England in."
Now Wade on drives for 4.
He moves to 96*. |

Broad is back.
Wade needs 4, but Oz need much more from him than that.
Wade gets a single.
Lloyd: "It's all you're getting from Pat Cummins. Just a forward block."
Gower: "Well, it's all that's needed."
There are oohs as Cummins leaves a ball.
Oz 6/222 (65). Drinks. |

Wade takes a very tight single. 99*.
Cummins also dived at the non-danger end, Lloyd says.
Lloyd: "He tripped in."
Gower: "More of a collapse." |
