  1. 'We missed chances with bat and ball'published at 01:34 Greenwich Mean Time 27 November 2017

    England captain Joe Root, speaking to TMS: "It doesn't really feel like a 10-wicket defeat. We came here fully confident we could get the win.

    "For three days we were excellent but missed a couple of chances with bat and ball in the first two innings.

    "Mark and Vincey played outstandingly well. To show that composure, character and skill in their first Ashes Test was exceptional.

    "The wicket got better as the match went on. Steve Smith's knock was incredible - take it out and we would've bowled them out for 150."

  3. Bairstow incident 'blown out of proportion'published at 01:32 Greenwich Mean Time 27 November 2017

    Trevor Bayliss, speaking to Test Match Special about the Jonny Bairstow-Cameron Bancroft 'incident': "There no malice in it whatsoever, there is no animosity between the sides, just a bit of Ashes hype.

    "Apart from that we're going to move on. You have to speak to Jonny but he told us there was no malice and it's been blown out of proportion. There will be no disciplinary action at this stage.

    "It doesn't reflect well on the image of our side but to say there's a drinking culture or a big problem that's wide of the mark. They don't drink more or less than any other team I've coached.

    "It was a chance for the Australian team to get stuck in and make people uncomfortable but that's their prerogative. That's Ashes cricket and we've got to deal with it."

    Australia won't change a winning team. I'm happy they went with four bowlers and Shaun Marsh at six and I hope the quicks can continue through the Test series, without needing a break.

  5. 'Lyon bowling as well as I've seen'published at 01:29 Greenwich Mean Time 27 November 2017

    Steve Smith, speaking to ABC "It's great we've been able to keep our Gabba record. We played some really good cricket after losing the toss on what was a really good wicket.

    "Nathan Lyon is bowling as well as I've seen him bowl. He went wicketless in the first innings then got the reward in the second. Davey [Warner] and Cameron were magnificent just here.

    "I think England have a few newish players that haven't experienced an Ashes series before. The first Test is important and it's nice to get it out of the way but we've got a big ask on our hands at Adelaide."

    The worry with England is that they looked lacklustre in that final innings. Yes, it's no fun when you've got a miserly target to defend. But you can't let your shoulders drop so quickly.

    In a way, this is quite similar to when England were thrashed by South Africa at home in the summer. The criticism they got them made them up their game instantly. That has to be the case here.

    Steve Smith and Joe Root, waiting to do media duties, are chatting and having a joke with each other, which is nice to see.

    Mark Marriott: Congratulations Australia. That Test may seem emphatic, but that did not feel like a 10 wicket win. We'll give you it though. Series on!

    Australia will know they can't rely on Steve Smith throughout this series. That top order will need to step up. I liked the look of Cameron Bancroft, and this second knock will have done his confidence some good. Their fast bowlers were off-colour in patches - Josh Hazlewood said as much this morning - but when they hit their straps, they were superb. Pat Cummins was the pick of the big pace trio, while Nathan Lyon was magnificent.

    It's a disappointing end to a thrilling Test match. The way the Australia fast bowlers bowled at England's tail set the tone, Nathan Lyon bowled well on an unusual turning Gabba pitch, while Steve Smith was man of the match.

    England will feel they had their opportunities but didn't take them. To win by 10 wickets is not a true reflection of this game but we'll see how England go about regrouping themselves for Adelaide.

    England kicking on from their starts is a big issue, for me, and one that could come to define this series. Throughout this match, James Vince, Mark Stoneman, Joe Root and Dawid Malan all passed 50. Vince's 83 ended up being the highest score out of that bunch. In Australia's first innings, only Steve Smith passed 50 - yet he turned it into a masterly 141, and put Australia back on top.

    David Warner finished on 87, while Cameron Bancroft walks off with a tidy 82 to his name on Test debut.

    England's bowling figures were:

    • Anderson: 11-2-27-0
    • Broad: 10-2-20-0
    • Moeen: 4-0-23-0
    • Woakes: 11-1-46-0
    • Ball: 8-1-38-0
    • Root: 6-1-17-0

    At 173, that is the biggest partnership to win a match by 10 wickets in Test history, beating the mark of 172 by Australia's Bill Ponsford and Archie Jackson against West Indies in 1930.

    There are positives for England, to use that timeworn cliche. It was only really Steve Smith who got a score out of the Australia top order, and James Anderson and Stuart Broad bowled nicely. But where Australia's tail stood up and supported Steve Smith, England's crumbled.

    Those first three days were compelling cricket. To lose by 10 wickets - you wouldn't have thought that halfway through day two. But the pitch is probably at its best to bat on now, unusually for a day five wicket.

    England look downheartened as they leave the field. They've had their moments in this Test. Starts in the first innings, reducing Australia to 76-4, the starts in the second innings... and they weren't able to take any of them.

    Wonderful for Cameron Bancroft to hit the winning runs in his first Test.

    And there we go! Won with a boundary!

    Fittingly, it's debutant Cameron Bancroft who hits the winning runs. Another full delivery goes through mid-on, and David Warner turns and raises his arms to the dressing room.

    He and Bancroft walk off with smiles on their faces.

    Chris Woakes will get going after drinks, and Cameron Bancroft chips a full delivery away for an easy boundary. That's a gimme from Woakes, an attempted yorker that slides down leg, and Bancroft just helps it on its merry way. Oh, and again from Bancroft! Another full toss and Bancroft cracks it through the legs of a nearby fielder and away to the boundary.

    The scores are level.
