Starc in the first

Duckett gone in the first over - Starc again!

Presumably choosing to bat because they never last longer than 50 overs so they can bowl at Australia under the lights?

Plan working already!!!

Starc again

Crawley and Root could do very well here.

Neser getting very close as well

Just waking up and seeing the score.

Quack, quack. Two wickets in the first three overs. That's embarrassing for England.

Surprised the Aussies left out Nathan Lyon though.

The real action is happening across the ditch but I may as well jump in here for a look.

I’m genuinely shocked Crawley is still in.

don't feel like you have to

This bloke Neser has some lovely first class stats. He’ll be thrilled to get a chance with no Cummins or Hazelwood.

Chris B.

Brook has a hoick at Starc's third ball in the evening spell - it's well wide of the stumps and he succeeds in nicking it to Smith. Don't know what goes through these guys' minds.

Starc moves one clear of the legendary Wasim Akram as the highest wicket takers amongst left arm quicks.

Good effort that.

A couple of what can only be described as stupid dismissals. Could bat for 2 days. Tons for everybody

They obviously saw Conway get out today.

Only 32 more runs needed from Root for Hayden to remain clothed this summer.

NTA

Oh wow that's a nice runout

Classic one stump, side on, on the run

NTA

SCOTTY B!!!

Chris B.

Root and Stokes going along quite nicely - not really troubled. Nice bit of work by Inglis and bang-bang!

Root might get stranded by a declaration!!!

I'd be thinking about it, but probably not brave enough. Tell the bowlers to have a slog!

@Chris-B this Jacks fella was picked for his batting. Let's see it.

NTA

This is terrible bowling to Root

NTA

And it looks like a plan. Fuck me dead
