joe wilson is our correspondence at the test.you to plot us through the events. thank you very much. when i came through the gates this morning i thought to myself and maybe even said aloud, this could well be over by lunch. it could not be more alive. let�*s try and take you through what has happened. england have lost two wickets, the first one, ben duckett mistiming a pull shot to the wicketkeeper alex kerry and back garden. doublejonny bairstow to the crease. his dismissal, well, complex, controversial. let me try and describe it. another kind of routine delivery, he ducked and it went through to alex kerry, who almost straightaway through the ball back towards the stumps. in the meantime, bairstow had thought the ball was dead. he thought it was the end of the over. a kind of marked his place in the crease and walk towards ben stokes in the middle, just as the ball was hitting the stumps the bales came off. the umpires looked at it, tv replays briefly and they gave him out. i think in terms of the letter of the law they had

joe wilson is watching.he very first ball of today's play — catch by ben stokes, james anderson in the game and australia's captain out. and then 317 all—out. another good catch. england's outstanding performer, the never to be discounted chris woakes — five wickets for him, his ashes best. so, 11:41am and england's innings began. ben duckett lasted ten minutes. mitchell starc on the march. moeen ali volunteered to bat at number three and, wherever he meant to hit that exactly, it was four, and that all certainly helps. zak crawley will always look to reach the boundary and, in this atmosphere of ashes intensity, the spectators were right into it. especially if, right in front of them, there was a despairing australian fielder. now look up for some classic moeen ali. england have a distance to travel and they need to move quickly, but old trafford was enjoying the very best of moeen ali's batting. do we dare to suggest england are starting to look comfortable? in the ashes, can you ever truly feel comfortabl

it is england's decision to entertain and joe wilson is with us now from lards, joe, ben stokes contributionbefore he got out, we actually started to believe that england where favourites to win this match and that seemed impossible this morning and certainly when they were down for wickets yesterday. what you are saying about england's approach, absolutely. people love the fact that they are positive and are concerned that they are reckless at times. if we think about ben stokes�*s innings, he was mostly composed and it was only whenjonny bairstow was gone he started going for the sixes and unleashing shots. he made a partnership with stuart broad, where he made 100 and broad ii. over the years we've seen many talented english cricketers who wills when the pressure is on, when the pressure is on, ben stokes gets better and that's what makes them so unusual and outstanding. you mention in your piece about the jonny bairstow subplot, though it could it be bigger than that? it has illustrated a real rift not just between the teams but also between australia and those watching on. it's interest

joe wilson was watching the day's action unfold.ision to announce his retirement, he now has an opportunity to go out on another win thanks to the way that england batted, from the very first over the intention was obvious, batting performance from the day probably from joe root, he could not quite believe it when he was out, todd murphy persevered, there was a late batting fund from james anderson and this position that england are in means that stuart broad can imagine himself taking match winning wickets on the fourth day and if so then his timing is perfect. to the women's world cup and france have taken a big step towrds the knockout stages after beating brazil. france captain wendie renard scored the winner in a 2—1 victory — withjust seven minutes remaining. france are now top of group f on goals scored, and need just a point against panama to reach the last 16 — they sit bottom of the group after losing 1—0 to jamaica. sweden are into the last 16 with a game to spare — after thrashing italy 5—0 in wellington. new arsenal sig
