00:00Well, two and a half years build-up for both teams and just six action-packed days.
00:15Australia feel like they will almost have a hand firmly on those little Asher's urn.
00:21And England, they are fighting for their cricketing lives.
00:26We're all set to go. It's Archer, Travis Head.
00:30Oh, it's a steeple first up.
00:33Well, this is a really big spell for Joffre Archer.
00:37Four on this occasion and nicely tucked to the leg side.
00:40Wetherill opens his account and he opens it with a boundary.
00:45Big roar, big crowd.
00:48Short, wide, punished.
00:53That's not a good delivery from Kass and Travis Head.
00:57He's going to dine out on that all day.
01:02That's another poor delivery and it's punished by Wetherill.
01:06Gets in on the act.
01:07This is poor. It really is.
01:09Oh, again.
01:14No, this is not good for England at all.
01:18Wetherill is up to the task.
01:21I will happily accept these gifts.
01:26Gloria Stroke.
01:28It's three in the over for Jake Wetherill.
01:32It's gone in the air.
01:38Has he caught some of it?
01:39Yes, he has.
01:40Joffre is in the game.
01:42In the ninth over.
01:46Wetherill is gone.
01:48The first wicket down at 33.
01:5018 from 27.
01:51England strike.
01:52Oh, it's a grab.
01:57England, their second in two overs.
02:02It's Crawley.
02:05Well, we've seen some stunning catches throughout this series already.
02:08Travis Head will have to trudge back at his home ground.
02:12He's out for 10.
02:14Two for 33.
02:14And they get it fine.
02:19Runs away down.
02:21So, slightly breaking the shackles.
02:23Like leg buys.
02:25No.
02:25Nope.
02:26It's called off the glove.
02:29Full.
02:30Beautifully driven.
02:31Text book from Marnus.
02:39There it is.
02:41And it's dropped.
02:41They did everything.
02:43They built the three overs.
02:44They tempted Khawaja.
02:47And Brooke spills it.
02:48Opportunity missed.
02:52Into the pads.
02:53Nice whip from Khawaja.
02:56Just straight a touch there, Tongue.
02:59Rise, Stokes.
03:01Heaved to the leg side by Khawaja.
03:04And he's going to get four runs for that stroke.
03:08So, just a little bit of flow coming for Usman now.
03:11Big shout, Stokes pleading.
03:17No.
03:19They were really interested behind the wicket.
03:22They're just saying, was there a double noise?
03:24Oh, it's too wide there.
03:29Arch at the back from Khawaja.
03:31Pretty easy pickings, that.
03:37Beautifully put away by Marnus.
03:40Chase on.
03:41John Root does really well.
03:43I'll get back for a third.
03:44Gretchen.
03:47Gretchen.
03:51Yes.
03:52Swept fine.
03:57Goes all the way.
03:59Marnus.
04:00Khawaja.
04:01Getting some fluency now.
04:05Yes.
04:06Tied to the leg side.
04:08He's going to benefit with another boundary.
04:09That's five fours for Khawaja in the last six overs.
04:16Chipped in the air.
04:17And straight to the field.
04:19A first ball.
04:20Joffre Archer.
04:21After the break.
04:23And that was a gift.
04:26The third wicket's down.
04:2894 on the board.
04:30England come back.
04:31Immediately after the luncheon break.
04:35In the air.
04:37Has he got him?
04:37He has.
04:38Two in the over.
04:40England are right in this.
04:47Cut away.
04:49With gusto.
04:51Take that, says Carey.
04:58Beautiful punch.
04:59Jeez, confidence is sky high, Alex Carey.
05:03And they'll check that.
05:06They'll have a close look at that.
05:08Just wonder if Stokes' momentum carried his foot into the rope as he touched the ball.
05:14We'll find out more.
05:16And that is not what Glenn Stokes was hoping for.
05:23Nor any other England cricketer or fan.
05:26Alex Carey says, thank you.
05:28And again.
05:29And again.
05:31Not good enough from England.
05:4150 for Kawaja.
05:4344th time in Test cricket.
05:46He's got to that milestone.
05:50A man that wasn't expecting to play today.
05:53He was told yesterday he was out of the playing 11.
05:56Turned up.
05:57Received a nice surprise gift.
06:00And he's making the most of the opportunity.
06:02Nice touch.
06:07Worked for Ben Duckett.
06:08Too fast.
06:09All the men on the leg creates gaps on the offside.
06:18And they're just racing along now.
06:22Australia.
06:22It's not the same fire.
06:25Into out.
06:26He uses his feet.
06:27Kawaja.
06:29Four.
06:36He's gone up and over.
06:37Well, it's the plan set for Ben Stokes.
06:40The odd short one.
06:43He's managed to get that away for four, Kerry.
06:46Stokes to Kawaja.
06:48Cuts and cuts nicely.
06:50Save your legs, Usman.
06:51Four more.
06:52He moves to 80.
07:00Taking the catch.
07:01Kawaja on the sweep.
07:03Tongue takes it.
07:04Jax gets the wicket.
07:05And England come back into the test match.
07:15Kawaja departs for a fine 82.
07:22Gee whiz.
07:23Didn't get all of that.
07:25Hung in the air momentarily.
07:27England thought they were a chance.
07:30English opens his account.
07:35Gentle touch from Kerry.
07:38He is a sweepologist.
07:41Very good player of spin.
07:43And that will bring him 50.
07:45Alex Kerry.
07:48He's looked good once again.
07:50The 15th time he's crossed 50.
07:53And a lot of appreciation from his home crowd.
07:56Oh, what a shot that is.
08:02These players these days, they play all around the ground.
08:06Help yourself, says Inglis.
08:08And he plays that like a cover drive.
08:13Josh Inglis.
08:15Gars hurrying around to his right.
08:17He's just been moved a bit further backwards.
08:19And Josh Inglis playing with him.
08:25Works nicely.
08:26Josh Archer almost fell on that one.
08:29Whipped for four.
08:31Lovely wrists from Kerry.
08:32Oh, there's some good cricket.
08:38Inglis takes it on.
08:40And he gets a boundary.
08:42Probably didn't quite get it as cleanly as he might have liked.
08:44But it's another four to the total they're scoring at.
08:48Four runs and overs.
08:51Goes the aerial route.
08:53This is Kerry.
08:54Couple of bounces.
08:55Bouncers.
08:55I don't know exactly where Inglis was hoping for it to go.
09:04But he'll take the result.
09:08Boom.
09:08He's dropped it on.
09:10That angle.
09:13Tightened up on Inglis.
09:15A little bit of bounce.
09:17And Josh Tong gets into the ashes.
09:19Needed to back up the good work of Joffre and Josh Tong's done that.
09:25Inglis goes.
09:27Industrious 32, Australia.
09:29Six to 244.
09:31Oh, he advances and slices.
09:35It's gone fine as the sweeper.
09:36And he'll get four.
09:38Kerry.
09:40Aggression.
09:46And he had two goes at it.
09:47And he made a nice contact the second time.
09:51Cummins.
09:53He's off the mark.
09:57Smacked.
09:59For a Maximo.
10:01There it goes.
10:01All the way.
10:04Quality batting.
10:10And Pat Cummins.
10:13Tickles one away.
10:15I'm going to see the leg glance from him.
10:17Is there an inside edge?
10:21Yes, he's got him.
10:22Straight upstairs.
10:23Plan works.
10:24He's gone straight upstairs though, Patrick Cummins.
10:28Okay, just go back one frame.
10:33Can we just freeze it there?
10:35Fall beside the bat.
10:37Spike.
10:37Okay.
10:38We've got a spike with ball on the bat.
10:39We'll go back to Nitton.
10:40Nitton, you can stay with your original decision of out.
10:44You're on screen.
10:45Again, England halts Australia's momentum.
10:49Pope takes the catch and Cummins to pass for 13.
10:51Partnership broken and 27.
10:56Nicely tied from Carey.
10:59It's such a sweet time with the cricket ball.
11:01Four more.
11:02And Carey moves to 90.
11:04Wow.
11:08Stark takes the aerial route.
11:11Can get into the shadows and into the boundary.
11:17He's certainly looking to make the most of it.
11:19Mitchell Stark goes downtown again.
11:20Two in the over.
11:30Now push the roar.
11:33It'll tell you.
11:37That's a hundred for Carey.
11:39It's an emotional hundred for a quality cricketer.
11:42He's third in test cricket.
11:53He's first in and ashes.
11:57And that one's for you, Dad.
11:59Love, but just too much for Jamie Smith.
12:16That'll be four to the total.
12:21Straight up in the air.
12:22Jax is going to get Carey.
12:24Smith will take the catch.
12:25That's the wick that England needed.
12:26And again, when it was required, England deliver.
12:30Jax gets his second.
12:32And a wonderful, wonderful innings of Alex Carey
12:35comes to an end on 106.
12:56Does more than repel him.
12:58Works into mid-wicket for four.
13:01Continues on his merry way.
13:03And a wonderful series.
13:03Stark moves to 33.
13:05Eight for 326.
13:06Lyon to see off Stokes, you would imagine.
13:09Final ball of the day's play.
13:10Day one here in Adelaide.
13:12And Lyon defends resolutely.
13:17Last session, 33 overs.
13:19Three wickets lost for 132 runs.
13:22And England probably edge your head on the day.
13:24Eight for 326.
13:25Carey, the hero, with 100.
13:27Khawaja with 81.
13:29And Archer, the star, with the ball.
13:32With his three to 29 from 16 overs.
13:35You can have a look at the details of the day's play.
13:38Yeah, it's been a partnership throughout the innings for Australia.
13:42Haven't had a really big one, but it's all about Alex Carey here.
13:45The local lad with a tremendous century.
13:48He played beautifully.
13:49Pretty much the first minute that he walked out there.
13:53The ball was hit in the middle of the bat.
13:55Fantastic innings.
13:56Mitchell Stark, he's still there.
13:5833 knots out once again.
14:00He's scoring runs.
14:01Taking wickets.
14:02It's the Mitchell Stark series so far.
14:09Stuck with the ball today.
14:11England, Archer, the standout at the top.
14:13Three for 29.
14:14Bowled with pace and variety.
14:17You look at all those bowlers.
14:19They've given it absolutely everything.
14:20Ben Stokes without a wicket, but he's bowled nicely.
14:23For Joffre Archer.
14:24England needed him to arrive today.
14:26And he's certainly done that.
