Brydon Carse to Smith, out Caught by Brook!! Edged and gone. Brydon Carse runs away to his mates to celebrate. Smith was getting squared up all innings and now he falls. This is angled in towards him, short of length and with his shuffle he plays at this, the thick outside-edge is found and flies to 2nd slip, Brook makes no mistake. Without the shuffle across outside off, Smith could have left that. Once it seams away, the outside-edge is in business. England on fire here and the game is moving at the rate of light here. Smith c Brook b Brydon Carse 17(49) [4s-2]

Stokes to Head, out Caught by Brydon Carse!! The English skipper strikes and he is cock-a-hoop! It's a really soft dismissal to be honest. That's an important wicket for England as we all know the superlative ability of Head to take games away from the opposition from difficult situations. Short of a length delivery angling in towards off from round the wicket, Head hops and whips it and doesn't bother to keep it down. Carse at mid-on takes a simple catch. That's what a consistent period of disciplined bowling can do to the opposition. Head was particularly looking susceptible with his footwork and never quite looked settled out there. Head has thrown his wicket away. Head c Brydon Carse b Stokes 21(35) [4s-1]

Stokes to Head, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Stokes to Mitchell Starc, out Caught by Brydon Carse!! Third wicket for Stokes. Reckless shot from Starc. There was no need to play the big shot. But that's the beauty of counterattacking cricket - you live by the sword and die by it. Fullish delivery and Starc's eyes lit up, Mitchell Starc c Brydon Carse b Stokes 12(12)
