Gets a bit nerve- wracking in this situation. Right now , England are "winning" on DL. But lose a wicket and they'd be fractionally behind.
Batsmen probably don't have a calculator out there with them ; so they just have to play naturally...and hope to stay on the right side of the equations either way...

A 2 wicket cushion for DL means England have to be 165 at the end of 25....... so not far away

famous last words but looking at the current radar we should have another couple of hours before the worst of the rain arrives

Cummins going for almost 8 per over and he's bowled a maiden

England nearly have a 3 wicket cushion, so these two are doing just fine as they are

stupid run out
at least with being so far ahead of the run rate there isn't as much pressure on the next batsman

At the risk of sounding like a Plunkett fanboy (I'm not), he normally is a superb catcher.

Seventy runs from 15 overs! Can just binary bat their way home. Shouldn't be any reverse swing.

Some un characteristically poor fielding from the Australians aiding England here. I guess it's not a great day for sighting the ball .
Starc bowled out and not a lot left of the other quicks ...going to need some magic from the spinners for Australia to pull this back. Scoring has slowed down lately but the RRR is well in hand so it's just wickets...

that 6 looked so effortless from Buttler and it went a mile
