So only one change for each side. Khawaja replaces Head, Broad replaces Robinson.

Hazlewood not ready to return yet so Boland has a chance to ruin his stats

Is it settling in for the day? Or is just going to be an on/off day?

[MN5]

I wonder if England can do a Bangladesh ?

Other half wants to go for a walk today, pffffft we did that yesterday ! cricket is on !

I think the latter - was hammering down at my place 20 minutes ago, now the sun is threatening to break through. That's what would have happened at the SCG about 30-45 minutes ago

Rain is moving in from the east in waves with possible thunderstorms predicted. Reckon they might see a bit of play early but it would be a fluke, and not for long.

Then again, it could break up offshore and just be a muggy bastard of a day perfect for swing. Win the toss and bowl.

Wider shot shows what is moving in

@nta good grief!!

That is perfect for her

Play has started with Australia winning the toss and batting. Bit of nip and swing early, with 4.3 overs before more rain. This will be the story of today.

It is basically coming in straight from the east, so we'll get an hour or so in and then more rain as the next band hits:

Should be another rain delay shortly. Leading NW edge just reached my place

Another 8 overs bowled, and down she comes. That'll be lunch. By the time lunch finishes, this arsehole will arrive:

Warner and Harris both fail to go on
