He put the dive in but there was absolutely no chance of getting back. The Test that England won here in 2010-11 was started by a run-out...

Bancroft run out (Woakes) 10 Aus 33-1
What a start! A total mix-up from Australia.
David Warner hits the ball to Moeen Ali at cover. Moeen spills the ball and Cameron Bancroft sets off for a single. Chris Woakes swoops in from mid-off, collects the ball, steadies himself and throws down the stumps at the non-striker's end.
Whatever Joe Root said in the huddle, it worked.

Chris Woakes has one ball remaining in his fourth over and the all-rounder lobs the ball down outside off stump to start us off again. It'll be interesting to see whether he continues after that formality. I want to see Joe Root turn back to Broad and Anderson.

Right then. Here we go. The players are on their way back out.
Rain has restricted us to just 13.5 overs so far this morning during which England bowled far too short after Joe Root won the toss and decided to bowl. That allowed David Warner and Cameron Bancroft to make a relatively solid start.
They’ll resume on 33-0 with England have had 90 minutes to think about how they’ll improve.

A good point from Michael Vaughan. As ineffective as England's bowling was in those opening overs, Australia only have 33 runs.

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialEngland, for a long time, have looked at stats. The 22 yards that I saw are very dry. We must remember, though, that the Australians have only got 33!

We have a six week-old baby at home and she's a bad sleeper. I get about 4 hours of TMS a night. My wife asked me why I wanted to start trying in February ... don't tell her my secrets!

Trevor Bayliss is out with floppy hat on head and bat, ball and baseball mitt in hand. The England fielders are going through their warm-up drills. Hopefully Bayliss has given his side a stern talking to.

Broke my leg playing football last weekend. Lying in bed, unable to get comfortable and listening to the commentary. Hoping a couple of early wickets can take some of the pain away.

Phil Tufnell
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialI was talking to Jason Gillespie earlier and he said if you're a bowler in Australia, you look down, not up. If you look up and it's overcast, it doesn't mean it's going to swing. It's not Headingley. I think England might have been lured by that.
'England have bowled the wrong lengths'published at 05:55 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2017

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialI would have batted first, but I could see into the mind of Joe Root and the England side. They know they need a bit of lateral movement. There has been some movement, but they've bowled the wrong lengths. When you go 1-0 down in an Ashes series, the next session you play, there has to be a desperation in that session. You have to gamble. I don't think England were prepared to gamble on a fuller length.

The covers are coming off again! Fingers crossed we can get some cricket soon.

I can assure all Tuffers fans reading this that he is fine. Don't let the picture below worry you. Just a bit of hayfever.

BBC Sport in AdelaideI'm being told that South Australia is the driest state in the country. Most here can barely remember half an hour of rain.

At least the rain, and the likely loss of overs, ends any chance of Australia ending day one 364-2 as they did when Nasser Hussian elected to field when in charge of England in an Ashes series in 2002.
Every cloud.

Aggers said it's a "Middlesbrough-like" drizzle around the Adelaide Oval. As a man from the north east I know exactly what he means. Ew.
