Moeen in as a batter only. Bit of a risk.

Anyway, hooray for day-night as it gives us the final session over breakfast.

If you're up early enough in the day you can catch the middle session, around 6am

Agreed. which is what England didn't do in the second innings.

Root wins toss and bowls. Not sure he's got that right to be honest.

Shit misfields = wickets

Hahahaha, come on!

The ball has done nothing, the pitch is offering little and this looks like it is going to be a long hard slog in the field for England unfortunately.

Yet more lip from broad. After a wicket, too! Fancy that - only getting gobby when they are up, the bully poms.

Excellent start to the dinner session

Sounds so wrong. Every time they said x more overs to the dinner break I shuddered.

How’s Overton going? No wickets yet I see

Anyone who can bowl out Smith justifies the selectors' decision.

Get innnn

What an absolute fucking ripper

Zinger bails gone!!!

If we can pick up another three tonight it gets very interesting. I love test cricket.

If, big 'if', we get another couple of wickets, Root needs to think carefully about avoiding a testing 4 or 5 overs for the English openers. No point bowling out Aus for 195, and starting Day 2 at 17-3.

Settle down! I’d d be more worried about your openers having to face a brand new pink ball in the dark on day 2

Yes Broady! Perfect start

Not a great scoreboard to wake up to!

Ok this isn't going well. Reckon we'll get skittled for 250.

Thats optimistic batting under lights against that attack.

Ah bollocks

Bop.
