Alex gone

Stokes to Carey, OUT

would you believe it?! Carey has ramped this straight to deep third. A short ball from round the wicket, angling in at Carey, he gave himself some room and upper cut over the slips, picking out the fielder on the rope

Stokes to Boland, OUT

edged, has it carried? England celebrated and Stokes has five! Umpires are going to check this. Short of a length around off stump, regulation edge from Boland but it was dying to Brook. But it's cleanly taken.

Scott Boland c Brook b Stokes 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

Korrie: "As I said before and I hate repeating myself, this will be a 3 day game" Might not make day three!

Brook cookie you beauty

What a remarkable moment on a remarkable day. Stokes salutes the crowd with the ball. Starc was doing that a few hours ago.

One more wicket go. There are still more overs to go. If Australia gets out, will England start their second innings and loose couple of wickets today?

Done for the day
