Poor from Jonny Bairstow, no real need to take a risk like that and try and hit it over the in-field, especially after just losing Alex Hales. It was a time to consolidate and help Joe Root settle at the crease.

Root has his first boundary and it's an absolutely gorgeous one, that trademark back-foot punch through point he plays so well.

Stoinis sends down a very short ball that easily clears Bairstow's head without the England opener ducking and is duly called a wide.

Bairstow then pulls and scampers another two before a leg bye brings Root on strike.

The Test captain gets off the mark with a solid drive out to deep cover for one.

Jhye Richardson has certainly shifted the momentum. It was exactly what Australia needed, to build a bit of pressure and take that wicket, but England are still on top.

Root starts watchfully, playing out four dot balls from the impressive Richardson. A wicket maiden on debut.

Joe Root is the new man in. He made a superb unbeaten 91 in the first ODI at Melbourne, proving immaculate support to Jason Roy.

Can he do the same with Jonny Bairstow here?

Excellent move from Steve Smith bringing on the speedster debutant. Hales tried to guide it down to third man and all he could do was drag it on to the stumps. Richardson has been the pick of the bowlers so far.

You feel Australia are going to have to get a couple of wickets very quickly and you imagine they would be from Starc or Richardson, simply because there isn't the power in the spin bowling department.

A decent first ball from Stoinis as Hales plays and misses. Just three singles off the over.

Refreshments on board and Marcus Stoinis is coming on to bowl.

He's the sixth bowler to be used by Smith in just the 19th over.

I loved batting with Jonny because he makes twos into threes and is willing to run your runs rather than just his own. Alex Hales has been my runner and ran me out!

Bairstow pulls Starc round the corner and somehow plunders two. The ball went almost straight to the fielder but Bairstow backed himself running back to the danger end.

Starc then fools Bairstow with a slower ball but the opener gets enough on it to chip away for two. He then guides away fine and looks for two but Hales has had quite enough of all this running and says no.

Hales rocks the last ball to square leg for a single to keep the strike. And that's drinks.

I think this pitch has deceived a lot of people, including myself, I wasn't expecting it to grip and hold. Had Australia known, they certainly would have picked Zampa.

The problems with Australia's selection are becoming apparent. You just have to question it.

Bairstow goes to sweep the last ball of Finch's over, misses and Australia go up as the ball strikes the pads.

Nothing doing from the umpire so Smith hosts a brief conference over whether to review and decides against. That looked to be sliding down leg.

50 for Halespublished at 16.1 overs

16.1 overs

Finch sends down a wide to bring up the century stand for this pair, before Hales absolutely clatters him back over his head and into the stands.

The first six of the innings and Hales joins Bairstow in reaching fifty.
