Some English commentators are moaning about the Jamie Smith wicket and saying that Snicko didn't show enough for the Third Umpire to give it.
Clutching at straws.
First runs of the match for a first wicket partnership.
Mental
Decent start this for Aus. Keeping calm and making life easier for themselves.
15-0.
Umpire gives a caught behind, but it's being reviewed.
Hit the tight pad. Successful review.
Huge moment.
England not finding anything too untoward in the pitch so far.
Weatherald survives a wrong decision.
Body language from the England team says it all. They know this one is slipping away from them.
Game well and truly going Australia's way. 19 runs off the last 10 balls.
Pressure now on Ben Stokes.
Travis Head is making this look easy. Beautiful batting.
27-0. Stokes has got nothing from his openers.
Australia off to a flyer. 39-0 off eight overs.
Incredible turn around in this game since lunch. Confident, clever Cricket by Australia.
It feels like England's only chance in this Test now is for Ben Stokes to come on and get two or three quick wickets to crack the game back open.
50 partnership up. Head going at more than a run a ball. Australia are striding towards the target.
Head out bazballing the bazballers.

It's confident batting from Travis Head, but England were reckless
Australia now 1/9 favourites to take a 1-0 lead. What a turn around! A comeback for the ages!
England have blown this since they were 60-1. They look a ragged rabble.
All the momentum now with Australia.

Baz's British Bottlejobs
A wicket Wetherall out for 23.
75-1.
That ball to Marnus was the first one that looks to have done much all innings.
I was thinking the pitch had settled down - as per Atkinson and Carse doing well out there - but, maybe there's still a bit out there.
