Ashes 2019: Australia wrestle back control after Joe Root and Rory Burns give England hope in fourth Test
England face a fight to the keep their Ashes campaign afloat after Josh Hazlewood squashed a brave resistance from Rory Burns and Joe Root on day three of the fourth Test.
Responding to Australia's formidable declaration mark of 497 for eight, England closed on 200 for five, still 98 short of the follow-on target at Old Trafford.
Their hopes of saving the game and the urn were aided by conditions in Manchester, with morning rain and bad light in the evening allowing just 64 overs possible out a planned 98, while for long periods Burns (81) and Root (71) appeared in control of matters.
In the end the pair shared a defiant stand of 141 in nearly 53 overs - their second-century partnership and England's biggest of the series - only for Hazlewood to intervene with a late, decisive spell. Re-live the action live:
Smith stays back and guides Archer to third man for four runs. On the third ball he swipes to try and send a short ball over to third man but misses it.
Smith blocks the ball past point for a single to keep the strike. He's showing lots on intent to get the scoreboard moving for Australia and so far it's working.
Wade looks to sweep Leach, the ball hits him on the arm and loops over Bairstow but Stokes catches it. England think he might have hit it but Kumar Dhamasena says no.
Root reviews but the replays prove the umpire was correct.
Smith reverse sweeps Leach. Stokes anticipates the shot and moves to his right to intercept, Smith gets a good chunk of the ball and it's onto Stokes in a flash. He stops the ball going for four but doesn't cling onto the catch.
