Mitchell Starc to Jamie Smith, Full and at the stumps, pushed towards mid on.

21:01 (IST) Sep 21

England can actually play this very smartly from here on. Just 12 overs of pace will be left after this over, considering that Mitchell Marsh does not bowl these days. That means, he will be forced to use plenty of spin and that's where the hosts can pounce, if they don't give their wickets to the speedsters.

Spin finally comes on. Adam Zampa it shall be to bowl the first over of spin. Will the England batters look to put him under pressure or just milk him around?

Mitchell Starc to Jamie Smith, Full and outside off, a bit wide, slower in pace, Jamie Smith reaches out and drives it uppishly, but wide of cover. A single taken.

20:51 (IST) Sep 21

No spin yet. Marsh continues rotating his speedsters, looking for that 6th wicket. Mitchell Starc is back on. 5-0-35-2 so far. Might not be a bad idea to have pace and spin at opposite ends, just so that the batters don't get used to the pace.

Josh Hazlewood to Jamie Smith, On a good length, around off, coming in, well defended.

20:43 (IST) Sep 21

For some reason, Aaron Hardie is off the field. Jake Fraser-McGurk is on as a substitute. Not sure why, the camera pans on him and he is just sipping a drink. In the recently concluded first ODI between Afghanistan and South Africa, the umpires had prevented AM Ghazanfar to leave the field after his spell, even for relaxing. That is good discipline, as long as it is consistent across the globe.

20:38 (IST) Sep 21

DRINKS BREAK. Well, the scorecard will say that Australia are well on top but we all know pretty well not to write off any team these days. England have looked positive right from the start and even though they have lost wickets, the shots have kept coming. Smith and Bethell have got a start, taking their partnership to 23 and there are Carse and Rashid to follow as well, who are no slouches with the bat. So the hosts will believe that if they just keep wickets in hand, be positive, the required rate will not be a worry, as it is just around 5. Australia though, will hope for 5 deliveries that hit the mark and give them a 2-0 series lead. Will be interesting to see when does spin come on and who comes on first. Will it be Zampa or one of Maxwell, Short or Head, given that a left-hander is on strike? For now, it is Hazlewood to continue.

Aaron Hardie to Jamie Smith, DROPPED! But a wonderful effort. A maiden for Hardie, and with a bit of luck, could have had a wicket. A length ball, outside off, Smith comes forward and whips it across the line. The ball flies through mid-wicket and so does Matthew Short in that area. Flings himself to his left but cannot hang on. Saves the boundary, by parrying the ball towards mid on.

Josh Hazlewood to Jacob Bethell, ANOTHER WIDE. Hazlewood is looking rattled or frustrated. One of the two. Nearly opens a can of lollypops for England. Bowls this miles outside leg, comfortably going past Bethell's flick and the ball swerves further away after pitching. Credit to Alex Carey who dives to his right to stop the boundary. FREE HIT continues...
