Cook appeared to have control of the ball but it was knocked out when he made contact with Vince.
The missed chance would have left a bad taste in the visitors' mouths as Australian went into the dinner break at 7/409.
Vince and Cook dive into each other trying to take a catch. Ball goes to ground. Players are okay.

Yes, you've woken up in 2013.
Cook has the ball caught, Vince dives into him and knocks it out. 40,000 braying Aussies.

Marsh was unbeaten on 103, while Pat Cummins was offering plenty of resistance, not out on 44.
Joe Root's decision to send Australia in is looking crazier by the session.
