  • Australia survive, 4-0 at the close.
  • Australia 98-6 at lunch, a lead of 140. Green and the cheat Smith at the crease for the start of the afternoon session, England desperate to keep any chase down to the minimum, but they have to do it without Atkinson who is off the field with a hamstring issue.
  • Australia all out for 132, England need 175 to win.
  • Duckett goes for a quick-fire 34; 51-1. A bit of a surprise, Carse in at 3.
  • Carse goes for just 6, 65-2.

    77-2 at tea, 98 more needed.
  • Crawley goes for 37, and burns a review when he was plumb lbw. 112-3, 63 more needed.

    Bethell goes for a lively 40 off 46 deliveries; 137-4, 38 more needed.
  • Root goes for 15, given lbw and the ball was just clipping when he reviewed it. 158-5, 17 more needed as Stokes joins Brook in the middle.
  • Stokes goes for just 2, 165-6, 10 more runs needed.
  • 178-6, England win by 4 wickets, a first victory in Australia in 15 years ending a winless streak of 18 matches. Yay.
  • Ridiculous 4 tests completed in 13 days.
  • This one so short almost entirely down to pitch preparation, and will cost Cricket Australia millions of dollars. A degree of karma for letting the cheat Smith captain them again.
  • Atkinson, as expected, ruled out of the final Test after injuring his hamstring on the morning of day 2 at the 4th Test, with Matthew Potts expected to take his place.
  • England win the toss and will bat.
  • Duckett goes for 27, 35-1.
  • Crawley out lbw for 16, given on field, and umpire's call on the review can't save him. 51-2.
  • Now Bethell goes for just 10, 57-3.
  • A slight recovery with Root and Brook at the crease, 114-3 at lunch.
  • 211-3 as rain and bad light restrict the day's play to just 45 overs, but a good recovery ftom 57-3.
  • Brook goes early on day 2 for 84, 226-4.
  • Stokes goes for a duck thanks to another non-lined up spike on Snicko when the Aussies reviewed it. 229-5
  • Ton up for Root, his second of the series.
  • Jamie Smith gets a life, he's caught but it's a no-ball.
  • Smith goes when the Aussies put on a part time bowler, a shocker just before lunch. 323-6.
  • 336-6 at lunch.
  • England make 384 with Root out for 160; Australia reach 166-2 by the close.

    England finally get a wicket, after dropping Head when he was on 121, as they get the nightwatchman; 234-3. We've buned all our reviews already as well.

    Jacks drops Head again just before lunch, a tough chance off his own bowling rather than the relatively easy chance on the boundary he put down earlier. The cheat Smith also got a life as well just before that, England have dropped far too many chances all series.

    Australia 281-3 at lunch.
  • Bethell gets Head lbw, 288-4.
