22:20 (IST) Aug 22

Umpire Joel Wilson isn't a popular man anyway and now he is seen checking the light meter. The crowd starts to boo. Marnus Labuschagne is just ready to head off but nooo, Wilson decides that it's good enough to carry on. Boos turn into cheers and Joel wins a few fans here. Keep playing...

S Broad to Head, OUT! What a sight for a fast bowler! Kissing the top of off stump. A duck for Travis Head. Spectacular delivery by Broad. Told you, outswingers close to off stump from 'round the wicket line are very tough to negotiate. Stuart has dished it out in the line of the off stump and gets it to move just enough to beat the outside edge of Head's bat. The southpaw didn't cover the line too well there. Could have done better. But he got squared up while playing the trajectory of the ball. The ball clips the top of off stump and Head hears the death rattle loud and clear. Broad is up and running in joy. The crowd rejoice. Two quick wickets have brought England back in the contest again.

S Broad to Labuschagne, Short in length on off, Marnus pulls it with the angle to deep square leg for a run. Interestingly, there is a sweeper in the deep on the leg side. Plan is to bounce him out?

J Archer to Warner, OUT! Caught behind! No review this time. A legal delivery. A wicket at last. Nelson, surprisingly, has struck for England this time. The partnership was worth 111 and had taken just 137 balls before this one and was rocking the run rate up. Archer brings the crowd back to life. How similar are Warner and Harris when they bat? Very. Stance, stroke-making, footwork, running, you name it. And who dismisses both? One man - Jofra Archer. Mode of dismissal, both identical. Both jaffas. The Harris one had some extra bounce. This one did not have that much bounce but plenty of movement. On a length outside off, Warner stays back to defend. The ball comes in with the angle but then straightens a touch, to square the opener up. Takes the outside edge and Jonny Bairstow does the rest. No century for Warner again. He looked in the mood tonight. But England are up and running. Is a collapse around the corner now? They check for the overstepping but the West Indian is fine.

J Archer to Labuschagne, Nicely done by Jos Buttler. My colleague was asking four hours ago (how time flies), where is Jos Buttler? There he is. Full and around off, Labuschagne flicks it through mid-wicket. Jos Buttler gives it a chase from short mid-wicket and dives full length to pull the ball back in. Three runs taken. The stand moves to 111 from 135 balls.
