Moeen Ali | 34 | 47 | 3 | 2 | 72.34 |
b Todd Murphy
33.3 OUT! TIMBER! Moeen Ali entertainment comes to a premature end! Todd Murphy attacks the stumps this time and Moeen Ali looks to continue being aggressive but is unable to get this one away. His stumps have been shattered and he will have to take the long walk back to the shed. This has been coming for a while now since the left-hander injured his groin but he has provided some impetus to this inning. The 100-run stand has come to an end as England lose their fourth wicket. 184/4

c Steven Smith b Mitchell Starc
42.3 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Mitchell Starc gets the big fish, Harry Brook! England are falling apart now! After bowling the previous one on the stump line, Starc serves this one full and well outside off. It is angling away as well as he lures the batter into the shot. Harry Brook takes the bait and goes for the big booming drive without any footwork and away from his body. He only manages to get a thick outside edge to second slip where Steven Smith takes a sharp catch. A fine knock from Brook comes to an end and England have now lost seven wickets. Mark Wood comes out to bat at number 9. 212/7

Ben Stokes C | 3 | 16 | 0 | 0 | 18.75 |
b Mitchell Starc
38.3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! What an absolute corker! Mitchell Starc at his best and this is a dream dismissal for a left-arm pacer. Starc steams in and serves this a touch fuller, on middle, nips away a shy bit and skids through too, Ben Stokes looks to turn it to the leg side but closes the face a bit too early. As a result, he gets squared up and misses the ball which goes through to shatter the stumps. The English skipper is gone for a low score and the hosts have lost half their side now. 193/5

Chris Woakes | 36 | 36 | 4 | 1 | 100 |
c Travis Head b Mitchell Starc
54.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Mitchell Starc ends up with a four-wicket haul and Chris Woakes' useful inning has come to an end! England have been bowled out for what they will feel is an under-par first-inning total but on the other end, the Aussies will be walking back to the dressing room with their tails up. This is bowled short and outside the off stump. Chris Woakes throws the kitchen sink at this as he attempts to pull the ball over deep square leg for a maximum. He does not time this well and the ball goes towards the fielder who is placed there. Travis Head is well ahead of the ropes and has to back paddle a bit but grabs hold of another comfortable catch. Australia will hope that their batters are able to play England out of this game with their batting effort. 283/10

Mark Wood | 28 | 29 | 5 | 0 | 96.55 |
b Todd Murphy

Stuart Broad | 7 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 140 |
c Travis Head b Mitchell Starc
52.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Stuart Broad perishes as he looks to throw his bat at everything! Mitchell Starc gets his third wicket of the inning and Australia need just one more wicket to bowl their opponents out on Day 1 after winning the toss. This is delivered short and outside the off pole. Stuart Broad backs away once again and looks to slap this towards the off side. He does not get his timing right and the ball goes off the top-edge towards the cover-point fielder. Travis Head settles under this one and despite the crowd trying to put him off, he holds onto this one safely. Australia's opening batters will already be thinking about their job in hand. 270/9

51.5 OUT! PLUMB! Stuart Broad gets his man right after the break and Usman Khawaja's long vigil comes to an end! It is remarkable how Stuart Broad can do this consistently over the years as he once again gets a crucial wicket for his side. This is bowled full and into the stumps. Usman Khawaja is stuck in the crease and misses his block as the ball goes onto rap against the pads. The bowler goes up in appeal instantly and the batter has a worried look on his face. The umpire finally raises his finger and after some consultation, Usman Khawaja goes upstairs for the review. UltraEdge shows there is no bat involved and Ball Tracking has three reds. Stuart Broad gets his 150th Ashes wicket and Australia are three wickets down. 115/3

Marnus Labuschagne looks to defend the line of the ball but it straightens a touch after pitching. Takes the outside edge and flies into the gap between the wicketkeeper and first slip. Joe Root stretches his left hand out and grabs the ball as it looks to have passed him. His teammates are absolutely thrilled with the blinder he has taken and Australia lose their second wicket. 91/2

This is a knuckleball from Woakes, full and around leg, Steven Smith looks to whip it away but goes through the shot very early and only manages to get a leading edge as the ball goes high in the air behind the short third man region. Jonny Bairstow runs backwards, settles under it and grabs it with his gloves to take a fine catch under pressure. Smith goes after a decent knock but will be disappointed with the dismissal.

He leaps up and grabs hold of the ball but the momentum is taking him over the boundary. He flings the ball into the air before landing and steps back into the field of play to complete a very difficult catch.
