    Massive wicket. At 100/3 at lunch the Aussies would probably have still had their nose just ahead but not by much, especially with two set batters.

    Oz has some guy called Doggett on debut as the third seamer. His State record isn't fabulous.

    Harsh marker. He has 190 wickets at an average of 26

    Stokes gone. Australia far too good for England.

    Brook will get a hundred and the tail will wag to make things competitive.

    Amazing that the whole series is essentially over as a contest before Tea on Day One of the First Test.

    Congratulations Australia.

    Incredible performance from Starc, basically all of his wickets were to superb deliveries as well as opposed to the batsmen giving their wicket away. With his two partner's in crime out injured he just decided to do it all himself, unreal that he's still putting performances like that in at 35. Aging like a fine wine.

    Not over yet though, this Aus batting lineup is brittle, a couple of early wickets and it'll be all on.

    Probably, but I sort of think someone who's played that much and averages 26 in first class is probably going to struggle to average under 30 in tests - and that's not what you expect from Oz.

    However, having had a look at him - he looks pretty useful!

    Archer knocks Weatherald over second ball. Dunno what the umpire thought there? Pitching outside leg? Looked pretty good to me - but, partly because he fell over!

    I'd thought outside leg live too, but was a good 'un.

    Mitchell Starc's 7-58 is the best ever opening innings for Australia in the opening game of an Ashes series.

    I'm not a big fan of Mark Waugh's commentary when Oz are giving us one of their regular reamings, he can be pretty harsh and abrasive.

    But, he's probably just about the most astute commentator going around.

    He’s probably not even the best commentator in his family

    I see the keeper Smith got 33 off only 22. Fucken hell, Bazball til they die…..surely a more sensible approach was needed ?
