has Stokes taken any boundary overthrows off his bat yet?

[sparky]

Stokes smashes one through mid-wicket for four to reach his 8th Test Century.

It will go down as....

Amazing finish coming up.

[ACT Crusader]

Stokes looks cooked.

[ACT Crusader]

This is unbelievable. Stokes is almost hitting practice catches shots.

[sparky]

Harris puts a difficult chance in the outfield.

Fat lady is warming up.
England need 78 for the last wicket.
England have shown some fight & spirit in this 4th innings but left themselves with far too much to do getting all out for 67 in their first innings. Brain-dead giving away of his wicket by Bairstow. 4 for 48 since lunch.

Credit to Australia who have bowled well throughout this game.

Some batting by a very tired Stokes since I wrote that. 350-9 up. 9 runs or 1 wicket to win.

[ACT Crusader]

Leach on strike. 8 to win and 2 balls remaining in this over.

[ACT Crusader]

Leach survives a short one.

[sparky]

Cummins wastes it with a bouncer.

[ACT Crusader]

Leach survives half a shout for LBW. Looked down leg side for me. Oz reviewing.

[ACT Crusader]

Not out and over.

[sparky]

Lyons to bowl.

[ACT Crusader]

Stokes a 6.

2 to win

[ACT Crusader]

Noooooo. Yesssssss
