Mitchell Starc to Jamie Smith, out Caught by Green!! Jamie Smith had to take on the bowling and he perishes as a result. Length delivery on off and middle, Jamie Smith actually times the heave, but picks out deep square-leg. Green takes it easily on the reverse-cup. Again these big boundaries and it's not easy to clear them. Green like Marnus is well in from the fence and catches it. Australia just one wicket away now from bowling England out. Jamie Smith c Green b Mitchell Starc 33(22) [4s-6]

Mitchell Starc to Jamie Smith, FOUR, excellent effort from Boland at fine-leg but it slips away to touch the ropes. A big chunk of the turf taken off by Boland as he dove. A short of length delivery down leg, Jamie Smith swings and the ball runs fine, Boland dug his knee into the turf and immediately he is off, Neser on. Costly over that - three boundaries in that

Mitchell Starc to Jamie Smith, FOUR, now Jamie Smith with a beautiful straight drive. We saw Brook play that last over. It's full on off, a tad too full, Jamie Smith gets forward and shows the full face of the bat to drive it wide of the stumps at the other end. Again the high elbow and the middle of the bat is found

Boland to Jamie Smith, FOUR, soft hands and wide of gully. On a short of length just outside off, Jamie Smith goes on the back foot to defend, the soft hands helps, the ball dies down and runs away into the gap between 3rd slip and gully
25.5
Boland to Jamie Smith, no run, Australia review for a lbw. Smith has a chat with Boland and a few others of his mates. He has a second thought about it but challenges the decision just before the timer runs out. Looked like going down leg in real time. Was a fuller length delivery that angled in sharply from around off, Jamie Smith tries to flick it across but is pinged on the pads. Snicko shows a gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it's missing the leg-stump. Australia lose a review. Didn't look like a good review in real time
