What a start for Stuart Broad! That was a fantastic delivery.

There have been times in this series where England's tail has folded. To get 113 runs in this series is a great effort. Broad played splendidly.

Anderson starts with a maiden as Bancroft is forced to just defend the rest of the over.

James Anderson to Cameron Bancroft first up...

Hung up outside off and left alone.

The players are back out on the pitch at the SCG.

The second session will be under way shortly.

Michael Vaughan was the first person to realise that you can succeed in Australia by standing up and go toe to toe with them. Australia are all about trash talking, getting into your psyche, tacking the mick out of you. Vaughan said he was not going to have it. And England need to find that again - that's how they can win here in four years.

Ex-Australia batsman Simon Katich, speaking on Test Match Special: "To win in Australia, you need your spinner to perform. You need someone doing the hard yards when it's hot. It gives the captain the luxury of bringing the quicks back when they're fresher.

"England, in that 2010-11 series, had a lot of players at the top of their game."

That was the first time eight England batsmen have made 20 or more in a Test innings in Australia since 1970-71.

Simon Katich on England's performance in 2010-11: "England's planning was far superior. They played three tour matches, which gave them great experience, and they were tough games.

"I think the lead in, this year, wasn't ideal."

In 2010-11, we were a very settled side. Australia had the best player of my generation - Ricky Ponting - on the decline. Everything fell in place for us. It wasn't because we had 90mph bowlers.

It will be interesting to see whether James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Tom Curran can find any lateral movement off the pitch. Josh Hazlewood got some throughout, while the second new ball did swing for the Aussies.

Meanwhile, the pitch has shown a bit of turn at times. But for all that occasional bite, Nathan Lyon only picked up one wicket in 37 overs and that was a slogging Stuart Broad.

How will Mason Crane fare on his debut? I'm really intrigued to find out...

It's very hard for players to come and get experience of playing four-day cricket in Australian conditions. England are going to have to find ways of preparing really high quality Test match wickets back in the UK, and maybe using the Kookaburra ball in the year leading in to the next Ashes. The more pitches that can be prepared like Lord's and The Oval, the better.

Thanks Amy, lovely stuff.

More fun and runs than many thought England would provide on the morning of day two at the SCG after that woeful 10 minutes to close day one.

Can they take so momentum into the second session, which should get under way at 02:00 GMT?

Shaun Lawthom: With a walking wicket in Moeen, a bowler in his second Test match, two number 11s and an anti-short ball fan in Broad they’ve actually done brilliantly to get all but 350 there.

Tom Curran was the highlight for me, there. He seemed to really enjoy himself out in the middle and he stopped England subsiding once Dawid Malan had fallen. Excellent stuff.

And with that, it's time for me to take a break. Jack Skelton will take you through to tea.
