Stephan, our man at the ground, says there's blue skies and white cloud above the Gabba at the moment.
Admittedly, we've still got two and a half hours to go before the first ball is bowled, but hey. Optimism.

We'll be bringing you all the action from Brisbane through the night, along with the usual Test Match Special commentary and analysis. Get the kettle on - it'll be a long one.

It all starts today, at a ground on the aptly-named Vulture Street, at a place where England haven't won for 31 years.
Are you ready?
