A smattering of applause around Perth Stadium as Australia's 50 comes up in the 24th over.
Cameron Green wears one on the grille from Mark Wood, overbalances, and avoids tumbling onto the stumps. Drinks come out while he has a few checks.
Here are the Australian wickets if you're just joining us...
Michael Vaughan
Former England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
I don't remember England bowling 20-odd overs of this quality.
Jonathan Agnew
BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special
There's no question that England have outbowled Australia here. Yes Mitchell Starc had a good run but it's hard to match these past 20 overs of such high quality
A missed chance for a fairly routine caught and bowled, a run-out scare as Australia dart through for a rather needless single in the circumstances...
An action-packed over from Gus Atkinson.
Jonathan Agnew
BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special
It's never easy off your own bowling but that was a clear chance.
OH NO! Cameron Green prods the ball back to bowler Gus Atkinson, who fumbles the ball in his follow through. A lifeline on five for Australia's number five.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
There was some frustration around England at the back end of their innings but they've fought back pretty well following that.
Jamie Smith goes up for a noisy appeal for caught behind against Cameron Green. Everyone comes together but Ollie Pope, still under a helmet at short leg, makes calm down motions with his hands.
Six added to Australia's tally - four leg byes and two singles - as they close in on 50.

Travis Head streakily edges the ball past his stumps for the only run of the over.
Mark Wood is returning to the attack. The pace just keeps coming.

How on earth does Khawaja not know that his hand is off the bat as he gloved it. That’s not out!! Really poor awareness from him.
Conor in Dublin
I think the Aussie batters needed a few more warm up games.
Joe in Newcastle
It’s BazBall after all, not BazBat

England pacers stuck to the line just outside off stump against Steve Smith today. They had 12 plays and misses before finally dismissing him.
Image source, CricVizThe camera pauses on the Australia dressing room. Marnus Labuschagne is sat in between injured captain Pat Cummins and wicketkeeper Alex Carey - the next player in. Stern faces all round.
A hard-run three from Travis Head is the only scoring shot of the over. Brydon Carse beats Cameron Green's bat a couple of times.
Jim Maxwell
BBC Test Match Special commentator
Australia need these two to thrive for a while but it's going to be very testing with this bowling.
Oooh living dangerously! Travis Head guides the first ball of Gus Atkinson's fifth over just out of reach of a flying Ollie Pope in the slips. Next ball, he drops one just short of point.
Cameron Green has no such issues, however, planting his front foot and driving down the ground for four. Big innings needed from him.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
This series has been built up for a while now, all eyes have been on England and their preparation. The game had a different feel about it this morning but England are fighting back here.
For the first time today, WinViz has England as favourites for victory in this Test.
Still a long way to go mind.
Image source, CricVizHow are we all feeling now?
The disappointment of England being bowled out for 172 feels a long time ago now. But you can't write off Australia with Travis Head in town.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
An unbelievable delivery from Brydon Carse. Scrambled seam delivery off a length. There's not much Khawaja could've done.
