England have really, really got to dig in here.

I don't know if Gary Ballance is the answer, Chris, but I don't think James Vince is a Test number three, and I didn't think he was before this series. Middle order, yes. Joe Root is off the mark with a work off the legs, before a lovely flick off the wrists gets the ball away from Root's pads and through the field for three. That's the first short ball of the day from Cummins, and there's plenty of lift there, but it's wayward, pushed too far across Cook, and he turns his back to it. Another quick single ends the over.

Chris Gunn: Get home, about to go to bed but I say to myself “watch ten overs before bed” Vince gets out second ball. 210 all out is my bet. I don’t care if we have a slow rate, get Gary Ballance in.

Chrispy Nut: That's fine, so long as we have Cook & Root at the crease, we'll be fine. Double century from each for a well earned draw :|

Another comfortable two for Alastair Cook as he clips a Hazlewood delivery off his pads. Cook's eyes are glued to the ball has Hazlewood hugs his off stump, before he drives a wider delivery away for another couple. The difference with that shot, compared to Vince's dismissal, was the foot movement. Cook got forward, and met the ball with the full face of the bat. Ooh! Short from Hazlewood and Cook hooks unconvincingly, the ball getting big on him, but he manages to hoist it into empty space. I had a flashback to 2013 then...

England must heed the lessons they are being taught by the Australians. The Aussies have bowled fuller and now James Vince has nicked off to the sort of delivery that the home side left alone for five sessions.

It's too early in the morning to be this annoyed by one shot, but hat James Vince dismissal is not going to get any better, no matter how many times you see it. It's just bad cricket. No foot movement, reaching for the ball, everything you shouldn't be doing in Australia. Alastair Cook clips Pat Cummins off his pads for a couple, before he plonks a foot forward and drops the ball away for an easy single. Cummins is getting some movement back in to Root already, and Root knocks the ball away rather awkwardly.

Adam Lee: Looks like I might be off to bed sooner than I thought...

Josh Hazlewood trapped Root right on the crease in the second innings at Brisbane. He goes for the same tactic again and Root gets forward to block. Not the start England needed.

Not a lot of movement in the delivery - no swing, no seam, it just climbed on Vince. It was a bit of a naive shot. He was never in control.

I like his positivity but Vince has to get himself in.

I think England have to be patient in the first hour, but when they get in they have to show intent. When the ball is there, put it away. Don't die wondering.

Some mid-80's looseners from Pat Cummins first up, and Alastair Cook lets everything fly through without a flicker of interest. Cook is crucial today. He scored big in the last day-night Test - yes, that was in England and it was against West Indies, but still - and he's key to England not losing their heads. A maiden to begin the day.

You feel Cook is the key to the whole of England's batting.

Whenever he is out there, there is a calmness about the team. They desperately need his form and for him to be out there for long periods of time.

The first ball is a nice delivery that hugs off stump, Alastair Cook ignores it, and play is officially under way.

Alastair Cook and James Vince are shadow batting - Vince practices a lovely looking cut - while Pat Cummins paws at the ground.

Here we go...

England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow speaking to TMS: "The boys toiled really well to control the run-rate as well as we did. We went past the bat a lot and on another day we'd have got a few more edges, but that's part and parcel of Test cricket.

"We have an opportunity today to bat all day. We knew yesterday was going to be a tricky period, but the way the guys went out and played looked really good. It was unfortunate to lose Mark Stoneman but we start again this afternoon. It's a case of restarting and rebuilding.

"Fair play to Shaun Marsh - he played outstandingly well and showed there are runs to be scored."

Just a few minutes before play gets going at the Adelaide Oval. It's a touch cloudy overhead, with a hint of blue sky behind, and there's no rain around for the time being.

Alastair Cook will be resuming on 11, while James Vince has yet to score. Pat Cummins bowled just one ball before the rain intervened last night, so he'll complete his over first up.

Australia wicketkeeper Tim Paine, who made 57 yesterday, speaking to ABC: "I got a couple of blows on my finger but it will be OK. I've been reminded by [Brad] Haddin that I'm a keeper, and keepers get on with it.

"I thought if I could put England on the back foot, it might make things a bit easier. There's still enough there in the wicket. If you can bowl enough balls on the stumps, you can make something happen. We thought England bowled a touch short."

It's the million-dollar question at the minute.

England's attack is very one-note, and that was perfectly highlighted yesterday as Australia racked up the runs, and number nine Pat Cummins put on an almighty show.

When asked about the subject, England coach Trevor Bayliss said: "The wickets in England aren't conducive to fast bowlers.

"The faster bowlers don't get as much out of the pitches as they can in this part of the world. Maybe that's disheartening for them, I don't know.

"The amount of cricket which is played is also an issue."
