Australia captain Tim Paine admitted after the match that might have to review his DRS role after getting a call wrong, which possibly cost his team the match.

“I’ve got every review wrong so far, so I’m going to give up and give it to someone else. It was just spur of the moment… have a dabble at it. But, yeah, I got it wrong,” Paine said.

England have now squared the five-match series at 1-1.
