Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett, On a good length, around off, angling away, Ben Duckett punches it towards cover.

Mitchell Starc to Harry Brook, Full, outside off, hint of inswing, Harry Brook defends it stoutly back to Starc. Excellent over from Starc, despite the no ball. Just 2 runs and a wicket from it. His figures read 3-0-21-1.

Mitchell Starc to Harry Brook, Full again, a bit wider outside off this time, pushed into the off side.

Mitchell Starc to Harry Brook, Full and just outside off, watchfully defended.

The local lad, skipper Harry Brook walks in at number 4, replacing Will Jacks. The first Yorkshireman to captain England in an ODI at Headingley.

Mitchell Starc to Will Jacks, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Starc strikes now. Full, outside off, Will Jacks plays a loose drive, away from his body. The ball moves away, takes the outside edge and flies behind. Matthew Short redeems himself after that drop of Salt early on, as he flings himself to his right at second slip and takes the catch with both hands. Jacks gets a golden duck and England lose 2/2 in 4 balls. Need another 243 from 273 balls.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, Excellent delivery. Yorker, around leg stump, Ben can only squeeze it towards fine leg for a single.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, WIDE. Full and down the leg side, Duckett misses the flick. Oh, hang on. The third umpire informs the onfield umpire that Starc has overstepped. So overwrite the wide to a NO BALL. FREE HIT LOADING!

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, On a good length, just outside off, moving away, Ben Duckett pushes but misses.

Will Jacks walks in at number 3, replacing Phil Salt.

Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! No review needed for this one. Australia have an early strike. It almost looked like an action replay of all the balls bowled by Hazlewood to Salt in this innings, barring that one edgy shot that went for a boundary. As mentioned earlier, this machine with a 100-year warranty does not care who is batting and how is the batting. Just keeps honing on a good length, just outside off. This one nips back in as well and as always, Salt tries to force it through the line. Gets cramped for room once more and this time, nicks it to Alex Carey, the keeper. Salt departs for 12 (14), England are 26/1 and need another 245 from 276 balls.

Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt, More frustration for Hazlewood. He lands this on a length just outside off, nipping back in, PS looks to punch but misses again.

Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt, That is a beauty. Full, outside off, Phil looks to push but is beaten by the lack of pace and some late away movement.

Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt, On a good length, outside off, punched to the off side.

Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt, FOUR! Fortuitous. A length ball, outside off, Salt comes down the track, looking to alter Hazlewood's length. As always, the machine with a 100-year warranty does not swerve from his length or line and gets it on a good length just outside off. Generates extra bounce as well which cramps Salt for room as he goes hard at it. The outside edge is generated but it is wide of slip and to the left of deep third.

Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt, On a good length, outside off, perhaps a slower ball. Phil Salt looked to defend but the ball seemed to lift again, taking him by surprise. Tried to take his hand off the willow but got late. Gets beaten.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, Full and on the pads, BD misses his tuck and is hit on the pads. End of a 9-ball and 11-run over.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, A short ball, outside off, Ben pulls it wide of mid on. Travis Head dives to his left and parries it away, allowing the batters to double the single. 249 more needed from 283 balls.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, WIDE. Third of the over. Another one down the leg side and Duckett cannot connect with his flick.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, Gets it right this time, does Starc and as soon as he does, causes problems. Full and just outside off, Ben Duckett looks to drive it back down the ground but is beaten by the late movement.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, WIDE AGAIN. Overcorrection from Starc. He tries to go away from the leg stump, goes away from the off instead. And too far outside off. BD thinks about going after it but lets it be.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, WIDE. Starc struggling with his line now, slips this down the leg side. Ben cannot connect with his flick.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Excellent from Duckett. There is no swing on this occasion and Starc gets too straight. Very full again and Ben Duckett just thumps it through mid-wicket, with a strong bottom-hand punch.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, Little bit of outswing on this occasion, full outside off, Duckett pushes it back to the bowler.

Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, Yorker, outside off, Ben Duckett squeezes it through the covers for a couple. 258 more needed from 287 balls.

Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt, EDGED, DROPPED! Well, Ponting questions - why isn't Steven Smith at second slip? Hazlewood maintains that channel outside off, on a good length and makes Salt feel for it. The outside edge is generated this time and it flies towards first slip but dips on its way. Matthew Short takes the decision to go to his left from second slip, gets his left hand to it but the ball does not stick. An eventful over.

Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt, Huge appeal for caught behind! Carey is excited, so is the slip cordon but Hazlewood seemed to join the bandwagon a bit late. Salt seems unfazed. Marsh reviews. It was a good-length ball, just outside off, nipping back in. Phil Salt looked to defend but the ball suddenly generated extra bounce and whizzed past. There seemed to be a noise when the ball went past and the ring of fielders between cover and point came steaming in, excited that they heard something. However, UltraEdge detects nothing and Australia lose a review.

Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett, On a good length, around middle, BD looks to dab it towards deep third but gets a bit of an outside edge. The ball lands in front of gully where Steven Smith dives to his left and makes a half stop. The ball deflects away and the openers cross.

Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett, Length ball, just around off, Ben thinks about playing at it, then thinks better of it, but is late in taking his bat away and is beaten.

Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett, On a good length again, this time outside off, Duckett punches this back down the ground. Bisects mid on and mid off but Marnus Labuschagne from mid off gets to the ball, slides near the ropes and drags it back in. Two runs taken.

Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett, On a good length, around middle, angling away, Ben Duckett looks to punch it through the line but mistimes it back to the bowler.

Should be Josh Hazlewood from the other end with the second new ball. It is.

Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, Half volley outside off, PS crunches the square drive but finds Travis Head at point. Good start for England.

Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, This one is on a straighter seam and goes on with the arm across the right hander, Phil drives it back to the bowler who mimes a throw back. Excites the crowd.

Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, FOUR! Not a bad ball but it will be four more! Cross-seam delivery, pretty full, outside off, Phil Salt squeezes it between cover and point and finds the gap and the ropes.

Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, FOUR! HANDSOME! Salt starts the chase with a boundary. Starc searches for swing and gets it too. Perhaps the line was a bit wide this time. Outside off and Salt gives it the treatment. Nothing extravagant, just covering the line, reaching the ball and driving it through the covers.

Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, Around off, on a length, Salt eases it towards point.

Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, Some swing on offer. Full and outside off, swinging in pretty late, Phil Salt looks to drive but is beaten by the late movement.

Welcome back. Punctuality at its best as the players are back onto the field. The Aussies swarm the arena with Mitchell Starc taking the first new ball. Phil Salt and Ben Duckett will be the openers for England. Starc to Salt first up. 

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Elsewhere, in Berlin, there is an interesting tennis tournament going on, called the Laver Cup, a contest between two legends - Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe - only with the two as coaches. It is called Team Europe vs Team World with the two legends coaching the teams respectively. It is almost similar to the Davis Cup, consisting of singles, doubles, then reverse singles etc. The tournament features stars like Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Grigor Dimitrov, Daniil Medvedev and Francis Tiafoe to boot. Lasting for only three days, today is the second day and as of now, World leads by 4 games to 2.

Ravichandran Ashwin is spinning the first Test against Bangladesh in India's way with 3 wickets from the 4 that have fallen. Chasing a mammoth 515 to win, the visitors find themselves at 158/4, with the top 3 departing after starts. Once Ashwin gets the ball to talk, he rarely allows anyone else to speak. With due respect to Bangladesh, one does feel that this game will not see a second session on Sunday.

As per the broadcast, the run chase is scheduled to begin at 1.50 pm GMT. So there is not much time to take a break. Tell you what, let's look at what's happening elsewhere in the field of sports or cricket.

Whose side are you on then? Too early to say, aye? We will have to watch a few balls in the second innings to get a better judgement. The first innings seemed like batting was a monumental ask, with the balls not quite coming onto the bat nicely. There was a tinge of grass but the surface looked dry underneath, assisting turn. If this surface stays the same, then England will definitely have a handful, against the likes of Hazlewood, Hardie and Zampa. But, as we often see in England, the pitches tend to get flatter in the second innings. If that is the case, England might just romp home inside 40 overs.

Carse's figures read an expensive 10-0-75-3, but we need to split it into spells. His first spell read 4-0-40-1, but of those, 20 came in one over alone. Add to it, he was the one to dismiss Travis Head and give the first breakthrough. The second spell of Carse was perhaps the most ordinary, reading 2-0-23-0. But then, that divine moment came when Carse was brought on in the 36th over. Australia were galloping after Drinks and on comes Carse, picking up 2 wickets in 2 balls and breaking the backbone of Australia. His final spell of 4-0-12-2 was the most decisive and perhaps could be credited for swinging the game England's way.

England would be very pleased with this bowling display, but will also understand that they allowed things to slip away. They were excellent to start with the new balls, but then let a few loose ones. Then they got back in through the middle overs but two counter-attacking stands stalled them. And having gotten rid of those two partnerships, they would have been really frustrated at bowling only 11 balls to Josh Hazlewood, in a stand of 49 deliveries. Nearly everyone bowled well at different stages but perhaps the pick was Brydon Carse's third spell.

This definitely does not look the best of pitches to bat on but Australia have got reasons to be upset. As many as 5 batters got in and then got out - with 4 of those scoring between 15 and 30. Only two batters crossed 50, Marsh being one of them, but given the touch he looked in, he definitely missed out on a century. Unfortunately for Carey, he looked in sublime touch, but could not quite play his natural innings for long. He found an able ally in Hardie but once that stand was broken, it was all about shepherding Hazlewood. His innings of 74 reminds everyone why Australia never give up, despite being down and out.

The reason one feels both teams missed out on opportunities is because Australia weathered the new ball, got to 46 inside the 9th over, but then slipped to 89/3. Then Marsh and Labuschagne revived the innings with a 56-run stand for the 4th wicket, only to see the team slipping from 145/3 to 161/6. And just when it seemed Australia would showcase their batting depth through Hardie and Carey's 55-run stand for the 7th wicket, the Kangaroos slipped again, from 216/6 to 221/9, before Carey single-handedly led a rearguard effort.

End of a bizarre first innings with both teams failing to grab opportunities and hence, both looking happy at this point in time. From 221/9, to get to 270 is a massive boost for Australia but if you ask this English team what is the score they prefer to chase, the answer would be anything less than 400. So, both parties satisfied.

Olly Stone to Alex Carey, OUT! CAUGHT! England break the frustrating last-wicket partnership at last on 49. A length ball, outside off, coming in with the angle from around the wicket, Alex Carey predictably looks to go off side, backing away and punches it over cover. But he cannot quite get enough on it to clear Phil Salt at sweeper cover who makes no mistake, running in. AUSTRALIA ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 270 WITH 32 BALLS LEFT UNUSED!
