The Sun's cricket correspondent John Etheridge on the Jonny Bairstow 'incident': "The timing couldn't be worse for England. Without the Stokes incident, this could be much ado about nothing. It's all over the back pages back in the UK. It's a bad situation.

"Whether or not Jonny Bairstow himself behaved particularly badly is open to debate. Bancroft himself doesn't seem remotely concerned about it.

"I'm told there was no aggression involved. A couple of members of the England security staff who chaperone the players were there and they clearly thought there was no problem. You do have to ask, on the very first day of the tour, was it wise for several members of the team to go to a lively student bar?"

One boost for England could come in the shape of one man and his imaginary horse.

Mark Wood is preparing to play for the England Lions in Brisbane as he steps up his recovery from an ankle injury.

With England's attack looking a little one-note in Brisbane, Wood's pace - and the fact he's not a complete sitting duck with the bat - could come into play later in the series.

"The management said that if I got my body right I'd still be in a position to have an impact," said Wood.

"It's a long series, so I'm still hoping at some stage I might be a part of it."

Ben Foakes and Tom Curran, who were with the senior squad in the run up to the first Test, will also play in the three-day match.

I enjoyed Moeen's honesty yesterday, after a largely underwhelming Test match with the ball.

"I ripped my finger in the first innings after 15 overs. In the first innings I couldn't grip the ball that much, today was better but I was rubbish," he said yesterday.

"We're very disappointed. Over the first three days we played well, but today we let ourselves down with the bat especially.

"A few players got in and never really got the big score that we needed."

And if you've missed any of the action from this Test so far, you can catch up with the TMS podcasts over here.

Right. You're the England brains trust. You've got seven days until you walk out in Adelaide for the day-night Test. What do you change? What should England be tinkering with?

One of the turning points of yesterday was Joe Root, right after reaching his 33rd Test half-century, being dismissed by Josh Hazlewood.

It was a fine delivery from Hazlewood but it has raised a valid point about Root's conversion rate, and England's struggles as a whole to turn starts into centuries.

Compared to Steve Smith, who registers a century once every five innings, Root reaches three figures once every nine innings.

"The top seven of England's order will have to do the majority of the work to get the big scores and a couple will need to get some big scores," Michael Vaughan said yesterday.

"They have to believe they can bat for a few hours. If you can get to 50, you can get to 100."

There's stats, collapses and an unusual way to keep a spinner's hands safe in our Pint-sized Ashes, which rounds up all of yesterday's action.

Have a listen below.

There is not one person who I have spoken to, or piece I have read, that said England would win the first Ashes Test in Brisbane.

I say that not to excuse the defeat that will surely come on Monday, but to add some realism to the result.

The frustrating part is that there were a number of times in the match when England were competing very strongly and could have put Australia's 29-year unbeaten record at the Gabba in serious danger.

Australia are certainly beatable, but there are things England must address.

There's more analysis from Aggers over here.

Look! There's still a chance for England! A teeny, tiny, almost minuscule chance, I admit, but a chance.

As you might have expected, the Australian press have gone to town with the headbutt puns.

This is the Daily Telegraph's offering...

I’m told Cricket Australia are satisfied with Bancroft’s version and have no interest in taking Bairstow allegations further. However it is an ECB investigation.

Firstly, let's address the Jonny Bairstow-shaped elephant in the room.

Reports in Australia last night have suggested that, on a night out in Perth shortly after England arrived in Australia, Bairstow headbutted current Test opener Cameron Bancroft.

Our correspondent Jonathan Agnew said: "I understand from the camp that Bairstow and Bancroft were having a drink together. Their heads met. They carried on drinking together."

The ECB have since confirmed they have spoken to Bairstow about the incident, and that it will "follow up" with England players and management after the first Test.

Hello! Welcome to the final day of this first Ashes Test. Now, while there's a bit of doom and gloom around at the minute, I think there's plenty of things for England to be pleased with. There's areas to work on, undoubtedly, from conversion rates to beefing up the tail, but they've found a few chinks in Australia's armour.

Along with Test Match Special, we'll bring you all the action from the ground, and ask what changes England should make for Adelaide. Welcome.

Barring a sensational morning collapse, Australia are about to take a 1-0 lead in this Ashes series.

It might not seem like it right now, but there are positives for England to take from this match.

They'll be left to rue letting key moments slip through their hands, though, as they prepare to try and stop Australia registering a 10-wicket victory.
