    Have a bit of that!

    Brydon Carse plants his foot down the crease and wallops Scott Boland back over his head for six.

    I don't know about that one but Jamie Smith just walked off. If he knew he wasn't out, there's always a temptation to argue with the decision.

  3. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The England fans are in disgust that Jamie Smith got a feather on that.

  4. Eng 114-7

    Lead by 154

    Debate continues about that Jamie Smith decision as Mitchell Starc continues to run in with real purpose.

    Brydon Carse wafts and fiddles at a couple of wide ones from the left-arm quick before pinching the strike with a decidedly more confident-looking drive for one.

    There is no way you can give that out.

    Harry, London

    No different to yesterday's 'murmur'. It's clearly missed bat and glove.

    Steve, Darlington

    I'm sorry but that’s a crazy decision. Yesterday we spoke about a ‘murmur’ on Snicko and it was given not out. Exactly the same here and they change their mind!

    That was a swipe from Brydon Carse, top edge and it's carried all the way. He went for the big shot and is very, very lucky.

    On we go...

    A top-edge hook from Brydon Carse to a Brendan Doggett bouncer goes over the head of Alex Carey and sails over the ropes for six.

    Former England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That went on too long. I think if you're a third umpire you need to look at body language. Jamie Smith just walked off, that was not the body language of a man who is innocent.

  9. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    We finally got there. That was a tough one for the umpire, one of the longest DRS I can remember.

    That was such an important dismissal.

    WICKET

    Smith c Carey b Doggett 15 (Eng 104-7)

    After what feels like an eternity, Jamie Smith is walking off after the third umpire says there is some bat on it and he the original decision of not out is overturned.

    The upshot is England are seven down.

  11. Australia review

    Is snicko out of sync? It's taking forever.

    Booing from the crowd. We're in VAR territory here.

  12. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I reckon there's a little deflection there.

  13. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    It's a bizarre one this.

  14. Australia review

    There is a mark on snicko, but it's after the ball has gone past the bat.

    We're going frame by frame now to try to get to the bottom of this one.

  15. Australia review

    Confusion reigns in Perth.

    Jamie Smith starts walking off. The crowd cheer.

    But the third umpire is saying there is nothing on it.

    Review ongoing.

  16. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    There's something on it.

  17. Australia review

    Has Jamie Smith been strangled down the leg side from Brendan Doggett here?

    Steve Smith decides to review it after an appeal is turned down.

  18. Eng 106-4

    Meanwhile, Usman Khawaja has left the field. He was walking rather gingerly.

    Back spasms again?

    Does he know he might have to bat again soon?!

  19. Jim Maxwell
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    There's variation in the bounce on this pitch, particularly in that Australian innings where they were completely rattled by that superb display from the English bowlers.

  20. Eng 104-6

    Mitchell Starc continues to threaten after drinks.

    Gus Atkinson digs out a yorker from the left-arm quick, but then picks up an inswinger later in the over to whip him off his toes for four.
