N Lyon to Stokes, Risky run! Floated and outside off, Stokes walks forward and pushes it off the leading half of his bat to mid off. The fielder misses his shy at the bowler's end and they complete the single safely. 13 from the over and under 50 needed now by England. This is going right down to the wire.

N Lyon to Stokes, SIX! Innovation at its best! Stokes must be credited for pulling off such a stroke at this stage. A tossed up ball landing full around off, Stokes gets into the position early for the reverse slog and nails it over cover-point for a biggie. The crowd goes wild!

Lyon to Stokes, UP AND JUST OVER! It's a SIX! Loopy delivery, pitching full outside off, Stokes kneels and hammers it straight down the ground. Hazlewood moves across to his left from long off, tries his best to catch it with a leap but it goes over him. 56 needed more.

J Pattinson to Leach, Bouncer around leg, Leach sways away from the line. Safely negotiated the final ball.

Two slips and a gully in place. There is a bat-pad in place, standing really close to the batsman at short leg. A leg gully is also present.

J Pattinson to Stokes, Excellent running between the wickets. Short in length and wide outside off, Stokes reaches out and pushes it gently through cover-point. He straightaway calls for two and completes it with ease. The fielder has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. Nicely backed up.

20:00 (IST) Aug 25

Just a bit of a delay as Ben Stokes wants a different bat. Shane Warne on air says that this is the bat which was used in the World Cup final. Another heroic day coming up?

J Pattinson to Stokes, Wide! The plan from Australia is to keep it away from Stokes' hitting zone. But in the process, Pattinson sprays it a little too wide outside off. The umpire exercises his arms.
