Stokes to Carey, 3 runs, Alex Carey has notched up a magnificent hundred under pressure, arriving at the crease at a testing moment after Australia lost a couple of wickets in quick succession. Calm yet assertive, he counterattacked with authority to wrest momentum back in the hosts’ favour. While Usman Khawaja was unfortunate to fall short of a century, Carey made sure there were no such regrets. He has raised his hundred to a standing ovation from the Adelaide crowd, with his teammates applauding warmly from the dressing room; a richly deserved reward for an innings defined by composure, intent, and class. Drives it through covers and takes three runs to get there. Removes his helmet to celebrate the moment as Starc gives him a hug. Replays confirm Carse did a fine job to save a boundary in the deep, flicked the ball back in play just before the cushions. An emotional moment in the stands as Carey’s wife, Eloise, is moved to tears while watching the milestone unfold..
71.3
Brydon Carse to Mitchell Starc, no ball, 2 runs, Brydon Carse goes short and Mitchell Starc pulls it over wide mid-on for a couple of runs. Didn't middle it but had enough to clear the fielder charging back. Also a no ball as the bowler has overstepped. 300 up for Australia!

Brydon Carse to Cummins, out Caught by Pope!! Caught at short leg. Up goes umpire Nitin Menon's finger but Cummins is quick to review. 137.1kph, back of a length delivery angling into the right-hander, Cummins hops to tuck and the ball goes to square leg off the batsman's thigh pad. Did the ball brush the inside edge before that? There's a big spike on Snicko. Clear inside edge onto the thigh before going into Pope's hands. The fielder at forward short did well to stay low and grab it with both hands. Australia lose their seventh wicket and a review as well in the process. Cummins c Pope b Brydon Carse 13(19) [4s-2]

Tongue to Josh Inglis, out Bowled!! That sharp angle from Tongue has got Josh Inglis. The Barmy Army are celebrating. No room to dab or defend this as this is a short of length delivery on middle-stump, Inglis looks to do just that, the thick inside-edge goes back on. Tongue always angles it in and this nips in to further cramp Inglis. Also bit of extra bounce there. Inglis looked in no trouble at all till now. Josh Inglis b Tongue 32(39) [4s-4]

Jofra Archer to Carey, no run, is that a chance for Carse at cover? Yes just about carried. Will go down as a very tough chance. Full outside off, Carey gets forward and lashes the drive on the rise, Carse dives to his left at cover and it hits the palms of the outstretched left hand and then bounces up, he had a go on the 2nd attempt, but can't hang on. Stokes appreciates that effort as he has a long admiring chat with Carse, would have been another stunner had he held on
52.1
Jofra Archer to Carey, no run, poor review. A nipbacker from Jofra Archer, on a short of length and Carey misses the nudge, rapped above the kneeroll on the front pad. Archer with a loud appeal for LBW, turned down, Stokes reviews and sees it going over the leg-stump. Ahsan Raza got that right

Will Jacks to Khawaja, out Caught by Tongue!! Khawaja falls to the sweep. He has thrown away a potential 100 here. When the conditions were easy for batting and with nothing happening. A wicket out of nowhere, Khawaja walks off bat-raised acknowledging the applause from the Adelaide Oval. It's on a length on off, turns away a tad, Khawaja nails the slogsweep but it's a flat chance, Tongue does so well at deep mid-wicket, slides forward and takes it. The partnership is broken with just 10 minutes left for tea. Maybe the previous delivery which beat him planted a seed of doubt in Khawaja's mind. Jacks fist-pumps to celebrate. Khawaja c Tongue b Will Jacks 82(126) [4s-10]

Jofra Archer to Green, out Caught by Brydon Carse!! My word. What a catch that is. This is electric stuff. England on fire. Carse on fire too. It's a gentle good length delivery on middle and leg, Green gets forward to flick and doesn't keep it down, Carse dives to his right at mid-wicket and goes two-handed and catches it. That is a good athletic effort and Green goes for a duck. The crowd who just must have had a heavy lunch are woken up from their slumber. They come alive. Carse went with two hands and then as he dove, he hung on with his left hand, that's what made it special. Another soft dismissal though. Green c Brydon Carse b Jofra Archer 0(2)
24.1
W
Jofra Archer to Labuschagne, out Caught by Brydon Carse!! What a start. Labuschagne goes first ball after lunch. A gentle short of length delivery just outside off, Labuschagne short-arm jabs and offers a dolly to mid-wicket. It looped to Carse who makes no mistake. Labuschagne didn't time that and sort of half-heartedly played that. Labuschagne can't believe he has found the man. England though are happy and can't believe their luck. A very soft dismissal it must be said as Jofra Archer bowled that at 134kph. Labuschagne c Brydon Carse b Jofra Archer 19(40) [4s-2]

15.5
Tongue to Khawaja, 1 run, dropped! Could have been the third wicket of the session. A full ball outside off and Khawaja is lured into the drive. Tries to chase it by playing away from his body and the outside edge flies towards Brook at second slip. He tries to grab towards his left side, but fails to hold onto the catch. Should have taken that. Was in a good position to take it, but probably lost his balance in the process

Stokes to Labuschagne, FOUR, much better! This was an overpitched delivery by Stokes and Labuschagne drills it through wide mid-off as the ball races away to the fence. That shall give the batteer a lot of confidence. Stokes isn't pleased with himself as he punches his left palm in frustration

Brydon Carse to Head, out Caught by Crawley!! Sharp catch and Australia lose both their openers inquick succession! 137.6kph, full delivery outside off, Head is drawn forward into a drive and he may have been a bit early into the stroke. The bottom hand comes off the bat handle. It dies on the fielder but Crawley shows great reflexes at shortish cover-point. Dives to his left and takes a superb low catch with his left hand inches above the turf. That's a stunning one-handed grab and England are elated. Head c Crawley b Brydon Carse 10(28) [4s-1]

Jofra Archer to Jake Weatherald, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! In the air and taken! 147.2kph, banged in short, keeps coming in with the angle at good pace. It's just below shoulder-high and Weatherald doesn't get into a good position as the ball hurries onto him. Plays the pull shot half-heartedly and the ball lobs up in the air off the top-edge. Jamie Smith comes in to complete a straightforward catch. Archer strikes for England! He passes the batter and then looks back to give him a stare.
