Fantastic catch by Stokes.

Australia with the small lead. Interesting day's cricket.

Tail wagged nicely. I thought they were done for at 170/6

Stuart Broad is retiring after this game

7 sixes in one over. Went for 48 with a no ball and 5 wides.

And the most annoying commentator since Danny Morrison picked up a mike.

I actually enjoy Danny's comms. So much better than Mel and Kevin.

That 3rd ball was close to a no-ball.

I honestly believed England were dead and buried in the Ashes, after going 2-0 down, but what a remarkable comeback?!!

Not really. It's almost certain he will be turning up as a commentator. So we will be hearing him for many years to come.

Yeah no way he quits now without a proper job in the pipeline

Half an hour to what promises to be one of the more exciting finishes to an Ashes series in the last 30 years. Australia coming in to chase 250 lead with ten wickets. Don't expect conditions to be as tame as yesterday, but this has been the case for Australia all series.

The game possible tipped in England's favour slightly with home ground advantage and overhead conditions as they are. Possibly rain in the day.

I'm in the lucky/unlucky position to be able to watch it ball by ball. Looking forward to it.

this ball change making the difference

As I said, the conditions definitely favour England. The ball change is adding an additional, slightly unfair aspect to it. I was amazed when the commentators all said it's an Australia win before the game started. Any poephol could see the conditions had changed.
