1
Stokes to Starc, 1 run, edged but short!
Matt Roller has this: "Australian comms have been getting stuck into Archer all session, particularly after he turned up to the ground holding a pillow earlier on. Michael Hayden called it a 'shocking look' and Ricky Ponting has made clear that he's unimpressed too."
91.4
0
Stokes to Starc, no run, beaten on the inside, Stokes holds his hands to his head. Nibble back from a length, and the ball just clears off stump
91.3
0
Stokes to Starc, no run, pitched up and Starc looks to tee off, plinks it off the inside half of the bat to mid-on
91.2
0
Stokes to Starc, no run, round the wicket, back of a length on the hip, 133kph/82mph. Glanced fine but again Starc will stay on strike
91.1
0
Stokes to Starc, no run, fired in straight and worked to leg, no run
Stokes brings himself back on
END OF OVER:91 | 1 Run | AUS: 426/8
- Mitchell Starc28 (62b)
- Scott Boland1 (12b)
- Brydon Carse21-1-133-3
- Jofra Archer25-3-87-1
"Must say England look cooked here. Might not make it to the 4th day." That is absolutely 100% a possibility here, Ram
90.6
1
Carse to Starc, 1 run, swiped off the top edge - doesn't carry! Maybe even off the toe of the bat, as Starc looked to pull. Archer took a couple of steps forward from mid-off before realising it wasn't going to reach him
90.5
0
Carse to Starc, no run, short of a length in the channel, swerving away from the diving Smith as Starc leaves iut be
90.4
0
Carse to Starc, no run, into the body and worked to midwicket
90.3
0
Carse to Starc, no run, dug in short again, flying through as Starc puts up the dukes
And that's it, they've shaken hands on the draw in Christchurch! I hope the Barmy Army trumpeter is playing "The Great Escape"...
90.2
0
Carse to Starc, no run, fiery bumper, just outside the eyeline, Starc shrugs it through
"A lot for the Bazballers to learn from double-centurion Justin Greaves over east in Christchurch." Not many England team innings last for 388 balls, MC
90.1
0
Carse to Starc, no run, banged into the deck, 136kph/84mph and defended down towards his toes
Brydon Carse is back on for Atkinson
END OF OVER:90 | (maiden) | AUS: 425/8
- Scott Boland1 (12b)
- Mitchell Starc27 (56b)
- Jofra Archer25-3-87-1
- Gus Atkinson23-6-85-1
89.6
0
Archer to Boland, no run, goes straight through him, Archer appeals desperately for... something, anything! Umpire Holdstock isn't interested, and there's no review forthcoming. Looks like it beat Boland's inside edge and then flicked the back leg through to Smith. Bouncing over the stumps
89.5
0
Archer to Boland, no run, shorter, rising up around off stump, again Boland rides it well
"Based on England's recent performances Australia nearly have enough," says Chris, ominously
89.4
0
Archer to Boland, no run, length again, 138kph over the top of off, defended softly
89.3
0
Archer to Boland, no run, length ball outside off, 138kph/86mph and this one is left alone
89.2
0
Archer to Boland, no run, banged in again, off-stump line and Boland is up on his toes to block
89.1
0
Archer to Boland, no run, hard length on the stumps, defended back to the bowler
END OF OVER:89 | (maiden) | AUS: 425/8
- Mitchell Starc27 (56b)
- Scott Boland1 (6b)
- Gus Atkinson23-6-85-1
- Jofra Archer24-2-87-1
So he'll get another crack at Boland
88.6
0
Atkinson to Starc, no run, full and driven, a crisp punch from Starc... but Archer does brilliantly well at mid-off to not only cut it off with a dive but also prevent a run
