Ashes LIVE: England teeter on the brink of 4-0 Ashes embarrassment after 20 wickets fall

Big appeal for LBW from Carse and Ben Stokes sends it upstairs for review. Ball tracking shows it is missing the stumps and Smith survives

The Aussies take 12 off that Tongue over after lunch, just what England did not want to see. The lead is over 150 now. So far in this match, neither team has been able to score more than 151 in an innings

Carse whacks Green in the left arm. The tall Aussie allrounder shows no emotion, but that would have hurt. But this partnership survives to reach the lunch break after the Aussies lost 3-6. Enthralling afternoon session coming up after the interval

Australia had lost 3-6 and needed something, so Smith delivers with a beautiful straight drive. Every run is going to be absolutely critical here – for both sides.

It has all gone pear-shaped for Australia and England have the wind in their sails after a flurry of wickets. This lead is not insurmountable, even if Atkinson is unable to bat

England are not giving up here at the MCG! First Brydon Carse is reminded of the benefit of pitching it up, trimming Travis Head’s off bail with a beauty. Then Usman Khawaja takes his eye off a short ball from Josh Tongue and is caught at fine leg by the forgotten Ollie Pope, on as a substitute fielder for Gus Atkinson. Australia are 83 for five, a lead of 125.

England’s fielding is getting loose now, almost surrendering a rare seven runs. Fatigue on day two of a Test match is a worry, but England has also been struck down by bad luck on the injury front. Early reports suggest Atkinson is not only out for the Test, but for the final match in Sydney as well.
