From round the wicket, angle in and rising on a short of length, Khawaja looks to take the bottom hand out of the ball's way, but it flicks the shoulder of the bat and the finger is up. Brydon Carse generating disconcerting bounce and Khawaja had no clue there. RTS shows a spike when ball is next to bat. England have their fourth and the Barmy Army are singing loudly. The seam came wobbling out of Carse's hand and it may have flicked the left bicep on the way to the keeper too. Khawaja was looking to sway away but couldn't in time.

This is angled in towards him, short of length and with his shuffle he plays at this, the thick outside-edge is found and flies to 2nd slip, Brook makes no mistake. Without the shuffle across outside off, Smith could have left that. Once it seams away, the outside-edge is in business. England on fire here and the game is moving at the rate of light here.

Brydon Carse to Labuschagne, no run, England lose a review. Some in the crowd - who are English supporters are not happy. Stokes has a chat with umpire Nitin Menon. Some murmurs on RTS but it's not significant says the third ump. It's a fine short of length delivery angled in, towards the fourth-stump line, Labuschagne misses the back foot block, close to the outside-edge but the right call made in the end. England were very confident and Stokes went for it

Brydon Carse to Smith, 1 run, rising short delivery at Smith, he is in a bad position, but fends at it, no short-leg and he gets away, off strike with that single
