The Ashes live scores: Follow the action from Day five of the Third Test from Adelaide Oval

Just as England were looking good, Jacks wafts at a channel ball and Marnus takes a screamer in his left hand!

Marnus was at first slip and dived in front of Carey who probably would have taken it anyway.

But that was special!

“That is better than the first one,” Ricky Ponting said in commentary.

“This is an absolute screamer. It’s to his left hand again. Around the wicket. It’s going so quickly. It’s flying. Is Carey going to get it? He probably would have but Labuschagne gets it first,what a catch! And off he goes. He can’t believe it himself. What a moment in the game. What a moment in the series. Australia’s catching has been brilliant.”

Jacks goes for 47.

ENG 8-337, need 98

Four leg byes as Boland strays onto the pads brings the deficet down to 98 runs.

Could England pull off a miracle to keep the series alive!?

ENG 7-337

Head has started after the break but he is getting nothing out of the wicket.

Boland removed both of these batters in the first dig and should have first right to go at them again.

ENG 7-333, need 102

OUT - but reviewed, and overturned!

Cummins pins Carse, and is immediately triggered by the umpire, but the review shows it’s comfortable sliding down leg. A let-off for England. 7-317

It says a bit about what Australia are seeing with the pitch and the conditions here that Travis Head is on to bowl just the 12th over with the new ball!

He’s a had a fair series to this point... how the Aussies would love one more big moment from him in the coming overs.

England have nudged their way to 7-316 with some comfortable singles post-lunch. The target is down to 119 required...

We’re just about ready to resume in Adelaide!

For those of you who enjoy a dabble... England are paying $7.25 with bookmakers. They were about $26 at the start of the day!

It’ll be Cummins to take the ball, which is only 10 overs old.

So that’s a wrap on the session. A fine one for England, and a surprisingly poor one from Australia, with the Lyon injury a significant concern.

The tourists add 102 for the session, with Will Jacks (38no off 120) the mainstay and Jamie Smith (60) the aggressor before his dismissal.

England require 126 to win from here. What number does that get down to before Aussie fans start getting nervous? And who will step up with the ball with Lyon absent?

Rejoin us in half an hour as we answer those questions as Day 5 continues!

After just three overs of Cummins, it’s Scott Boland time in the third-last over before the lunch break.

He forces a play-and-miss from Carse straight up and records a maiden in typically stingy fashion.

Nathan Lyon has now left Adelaide Oval, presumably to head for scans, in the wake of his injury following that dive in the field.

Cricket Australia has confirmed it’s a hamstring issue, and he’ll take no further part today.

It looms as a tough break for the veteran, who of course missed selection in the Second Test, and also had his 2023 Ashes cruelled in the second match of that series with a calf strain.

The 300 is up for England!

Regardless of what happens from here, it’s at least been a fight from the tourists late in the match.

We’ll have the lunch break at 1pm EDT (10am WA time), pushed back by half an hour due to the earlier rain. So a chance for another four overs from Starc and Cummins.
