The Ashes live scores: Follow the action from Day 2 of the Boxing Day Test between Australia and England

What a way to start after the Tea break.

Bethell uses a reverse ramp to get two and then drives a ball down the ground for four.

ENG 2-83, need 92

England go to Tea with eight wickets in hand and 98 runs left to win.

Richardson shaved the pegs with the last ball before the break but a lot of work to do for the home side.

Boland looks like the key.

His one over was dangerous.

What does the final session hold for us?

Bethell punches a very noce boundary down the ground and then drops a single to keep strike for the next over.

It also means England now need less than 100 runs to win.

ENG 2-76, need 99

Boland has the ball on a string and seams one back into Crawley’s pad.

There’s no bat involved but it strikes him outside the line of off stump.

Not out.

Richardson has his first Test wicket in four years as Carse top edges a high ball to deep third man.

Green doesn’t judge it quite right but he does enough to take the catch and send Carse on his way for six.

ENG 2-65, need 110

West Australian all-rounder Cam Green could be dropped for the first time in his Test career, with the heat rising on his spot in the side after another ugly dismissal.

The cricket is just calming down a little.

Richardson was strong in his first over and Starc is hitting his lines.

ENG 1-57, need 118

England have sent Brydon Carse to the middle!

They have shown next to no faith in Jacob Bethell as Jhye Richardson comes on.

Starc finally gets the breakthrough as the left-arm quick nails the base of off-stump.

It brushed Duckett’s pads on the way through but he departs for 34 from 26.

51 is England’s largest opening stand of the series.

ENG 1-51, need 124

Duckett flays a boundary behind point and England make it to 50 without loss.

The opener has also passed 3000 Test runs.

ENG 0-51, need 124
