Matthew Wade seemingly obstructed Mark Wood. (Screengrab)
Warner has passed the concussion and fitness tests and will return to the action shortly.
Stoinis gets the wicket of David Malan. Short ball around the left shoulder. Malan takes it on with a hard pull. Doesn't get the timing right and goes in the air straight down the throat of Steve Smith at deep mid-wicket.
CLOBBERED! David Malan absolutely crunched the last ball of Mitchell Starc's last over. Slower one right in the arc of Dawid Malan. and he picks the length early and deposits the pickup pull way over the deep square leg fence for a biggie. (ENG: 165/6)
You miss I hit. Surran goes for 8. Starc with the wicket. Curran bowled round his legs by Starc. (ENG: 158/6)
Curran flicks Hazlewood for a six. 150 is also up for England. They have made a remarkable comeback. (ENG: 155/5)
Zampa has his man. He dropped Moeen first, then was hammered down the ground for a boundary. Next ball, Ali holes out to Tim David. Moeen Ali departs for 44. (ENG: 145/6)
Malan crunches Cummins over the short extra covers. The deep covers fielder is way too far away from the ball as it goes racing away to the fence. (ENG: 140/4)
Another misjudged catch that went for a six. Tim David spills a dolly as he fails to keep his balance. (AUS: 131/4)

Excellent effort from David Warner. Slightly misjudged that and thumped his head hard as he fell backwards. He is going off the field. Steven Smith comes into the field. (ENG: 124/4)
31-ball fifty for David Malan. An excellent one too.
100 up for England in the 13th over. Malan and Ali are involved in a good partnership. (101/4)
4 Moeen Ali welcomes Stoinis with a six. Moeen goes across the line and pulls this over the short fine leg fielder towards the boundary fence in no time.
6 Moeen Ali takes Marcus Stoinis to the cleaners! The fourth umpire is in with the ball box. New balls please. (ENG: 99/4)
Hammered down the ground by Moeen Ali. First boundary for Moeen Ali, a much-needed one as well. (ENG: 89/4)
David Malan is playing gem of a knock here for England. Malan picks the slower delivery on that occasion, stands still and slams that away over the cow corner fence for a maximum. (ENG: 82/4)
Malan is picking up gaps nicely. He starts with a boundary after drinks. (ENG: 74/1)
FREEBIES FROM STARC AND MALAN ACCEPTS THE GIFT ! Malan latches onto the short ball. Short and angles it into the body of the batter. Malan pulls it in front of the square on the leg side and stamps his authority. (ENG: 70/4)
Moeen slashes and slashes hard. Plays in the air straight to Maxwell at point, who spills this one. A single as the ball parries towards deep backward point. (ENG: 61/4)
Marcus Stoinis gets his wicket. Nothing ball outside the off stump, Brook tries to punch but gets the thin outside edge, which carries through to the keeper. England are in deep trouble. (ENG: 54/4)
