AUS vs ENG Live Score, 2nd Ashes Test Day 4: England 241 all out; Australia need 65 runs to win Brisbane Test

Mitchell Starc to Zak Crawley, EDGED, FOUR! The runs have started to flow again as Zak Crawley decides to counterpunch. A short ball, outside off, Crawley throws his bat at it and gets a thick outside edge. The ball goes towards gully where Cameron Green is stationed and he leaps too - but the ball just goes over his leap to the deep third fence. The deficit is now 107.

Mitchell Starc to Ollie Pope, That's well struck by Pope. On a length around off, Ollie Pope strides closer to the pitch of the delivery and he drives this through the extra cover region for three. Travis Head does well to chase this from mid off and flick this back inside the playing area inches from the fence.

Scott Boland to Zak Crawley, Full and wide of off, Zak Crawley swings and misses.

Scott Boland to Zak Crawley, FOUR! Zak seems to be batting on a different deck altogether from his partner on the other end. Good length around middle and off, Zak Crawley gets right on top of the bounce and drives this past a diving mid on fielder to his left for four runs.

Scott Boland to Ollie Pope, Good length around off, Ollie Pope looks to block this around mid-wicket but the ball shoots a wee bit on him and he gets it edged towards cover for one.

Scott Boland to Ollie Pope, FOUR! This will make him breathe easy. A bit more confidence is reflected in this stroke. On a length around middle and off, Ollie Pope shuffles across and glances this towards the fine leg region for a boundary.

Scott Boland to Ollie Pope, Pitched up, wide of off, Ollie Pope offers a drive but mistimes this off the cue end of the bat. Gets is through extra cover though for a couple.

There is a bit of hammering going around the bowler's landing area.

Mitchell Starc to Zak Crawley, Good length wide of off, Zak Crawley does well by not chasing it and leaving it all alone.

5/1 in 4 overs post Dinner. Australia have focussed on landing the ball in the right areas and try to minimize the run flow. A bit of a surprise. He was looking a bit tired before Dinner, but Mitchell Starc has been denied some more rest. Here he comes back on. 3-0-25-0 so far.

Scott Boland to Ollie Pope, Another one, banged short, wide of off. Ollie Pope shoulders his arms at it.

Scott Boland to Ollie Pope, On a length around middle and off, Ollie Pope rolls this down to mid on.

Scott Boland to Ollie Pope, Short and wide of off, Ollie Pope leaves it all alone.

Scott Boland to Ollie Pope, The Aussies are right on top at the moment. Beating the bat and finding edges but the final product is around the corner, one feels. On a length around off, Ollie Pope strides across the stumps and goes for a front foot defensive punch. Gets beaten and the ball deflects off his pads to the keeper. Loud appeal of LBW but the umpire once again turns it down. Boland looks at his captain again and this time, he really seems interested. But Smith straightaway indicates that the impact was outside off and that is it as far as a review is concerned.

Scott Boland to Zak Crawley, Good length on the pads, Zak Crawley tucks this through square leg and hustles for a single. 50 UP FOR ENGLAND. Trail by 127.

Scott Boland to Zak Crawley, Another situation where the Aussies appeal for a caught behind but the umpire doesn't entertain it. Good length around off, Zak Crawley presses in front, gets outside the line of off and looks to punch this to mid off. The ball shapes back in and it misses the inside edge of Zak's bat. The ball then deflects off his pads and back to the keeper. Boland has a look at his captain but Smith and Labuschagne straightaway shake their heads, denying any inside edge.

Brendan Doggett to Ollie Pope, On a length around off, Ollie Pope pushes this back towards the bowler's right for no run.

Brendan Doggett to Ollie Pope, Pope is not feeling very confident out in the middle. Back of a length around off, Ollie Pope looks to nudge this around mid-wicket but gets late on closing his bat face this time. The ball catches the outside edge and lands short of cover. Pope is not reading the length as well, it seems, because this hit him high around the sticker of his bat, which means he was not in a position to flick it either.

Brendan Doggett to Ollie Pope, Brendan Doggett comes in the line of the stumps and bowls it on a hard length around off. Ollie Pope gets right behind the line of it and blocks.

Scott Boland to Ollie Pope, Almost the second for Big Scott. On a length around middle and off, Ollie Pope steps across and goes for a flick. Closes the bat face early and gets it edged in front of the bowler. 

Ollie Pope walks in next, at number 3, replacing Ben Duckett. He too, is on a pair.

Scott Boland to Ben Duckett, OUT! PLAYED ON! That's just so unlucky for Ben Duckett and he has a hard look at the pitch and then at Crawley, before trudging off. Scott Boland strikes in his first over. Comes around the stumps and bowls it on that nagging length around middle and off, angling it back into the batter. Duckett doesn't lean low and just looks to punch this standing upright. However, unfortunately for him, the ball doesn't bounce much and it strikes the toe end of his bat. It then bounces right back past him and hits the stumps! Boland and Australia will not mind. Duckett departs for 15 and the quickfire opening stand of 48 is broken. ENGLAND TRAIL BY 129.

Scott Boland to Zak Crawley, On a length around middle and off, Zak Crawley gets it away off the inside of his bat to deep square leg for one.

Scott Boland to Zak Crawley, Good length, down the leg. Zak Crawley goes for the flick but misses out. Alex Carey glides to his left and gathers this behind the stumps.

Scott Boland to Ben Duckett, Good length around off, Ben Duckett flicks this through mid-wicket for a single. 

Good start from Doggett. There was some movement on display, more than what we saw in the entire phase before Dinner. Should be Scott Boland from this end. Indeed. 1/87 in 19 overs in the first innings. So another box ticked by England. No wickets against the new ball.

Brendan Doggett to Zak Crawley, Loud appeal for LBW from the Aussies but the umpire shrugs it away. Good length around middle and leg, shaping back into the batter. Zak Crawley gets beaten on the inside and the ball hits Zak high on the front pad. Doggett has a look at Steve Smith who straightaway indicates that it was a bit too high.

Brendan Doggett to Ben Duckett, Brendan Doggett starts the final session of the day with a short one, on off. Ben Duckett dabs this around silly point.

Welcome back. An exciting phase of play beckons. It is night time, and the pink ball does move around under the lights, but England have got all their 10 wickets intact with their confidence sky high. It will be interesting to see whether and how the Aussies adapt now, given the barrage of runs scored. Brendan Doggett gets the opportunity to start the session. 1/81 in 15.2 overs in the first dig. Duckett to face. Let's resume!

... DAY 3, FINAL SESSION ...

Two boxes ticked for England. First, deny the early wicket to Starc. Second, stay unscathed till the break. If the pitch was looking good during the day, it has gotten even better to bat under the lights. Having said that, Australia will not mind this break. This gives them a chance to regroup and work on their lengths, especially with the ball not swinging. That short span earlier perhaps put them under more pressure, to try and take a wicket or two, but now with the next session slated for two-and-a-half hours easily, they might want to settle down a bit. From England's point of view, imagine where would they be if they continue to go at this rate. Back on parity by Stumps? Join us back by 9 am GMT for the final session. 37 overs scheduled.

28 minutes is usually too less to pick up a wicket or two but one just got the feeling that Australia were a bit too desperate for strikes with the new ball. They were overeager to take wickets with the ball swinging, because as has been seen in this game, once the ball stops swinging, there is barely anything for the bowlers. And in that approach, they bowled way too many freebies and allowed England to rattle along at 7.5 an over.

This is some way to start the innings trailing behind by a mammoth 177. Having been on the field for nearly 2 sessions of the day, braving the heat and frustration, the English openers have just come out and Bazballed a chunk of the deficit in next to no time.

Michael Neser to Zak Crawley, Outside off, pushed towards cover. DINNER ON DAY 3, ENGLAND 45/0, TRAIL BY 132!

Michael Neser to Zak Crawley, Full, around off, defended solidly.
