  1. Eng 0-0

    My word. This could be carnage. Cummins' third ball dips in with a bit of swing and then zips away off the pitch. Burns gropes forward horribly on his home ground.

    I wonder if Paine would have bowled first if the Ashes were on the line.

  3. Eng 0-0

    Typically it's a beauty from the masterful Pat Cummins first up. Rory Burns is beaten.

    Pat Cummins must creaking a little after the summer he has had. He's played non-stop since May.

    He's going to bowl the first ball...

  6. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    It's very muggy and there's thick cloud so it may well be that the ball nips around today.

  7. Jason Roy may have gone but England's batting line-up doesn't look any more solid. Ben Stokes at four, Jonny Bairstow at five, Buttler at six? Hmmm.

    Anyway, hopefully they're for later. Here come openers Rory Burns and Joe Denly.

    Jason Roy has been exposed, but he won't come up against many better bowling attacks than Australia's. It's up to him as an individual now. I believe people should be given the chance to go away, work on their game and come back as a better player. If anybody wants to learn how to turn yourself into a Test match player, I wouldn't look further than Rory Burns.

    England have a chance to prove they can bat in these conditions this morning. They will want to show they are up for the battle with Australia.

  10. But then bowlers are bowled into the ground and are then shattered by the time they play for England.

    Central contracts have been good on the whole, I'd say.

    At the moment, does it really matter what our batting order is, as within the first hour all of our top five have usually had a go and are sitting down again?

    The present system of putting players on central contracts means players on them could go the whole summer playing just one or two games, while players playing for their county and in form rarely get a look in.

    Is it time to ditch this system and allow players to play more for their county and then the selectors can choose more players in form?

    It used to happen in the old days that England would bring in somebody like Ollie Pope for the final Test and then if they did well, they would go on tour. But I understand the changes they have made for this match and I think Pope will tour this winter anyway. It's difficult to come in in these circumstances.

    I think Australia's celebrations will get the England players' backs up. Australia will know England will come back hard at them.

  15. What Bayliss is really like - Wood

    Mark Wood

    In his latest BBC column, England bowler Mark Wood has given the inside track on Bayliss.

    It includes some great stories about pranks played on Bayliss by Ben Stokes and the time the Australian pinned Wood down on the floor with his elbow.

    Read the full column here.

  17. Your goodbye gift for Bayliss

    #bbccricket or text 81111

    Bayliss was given a little goodbye gift from the cricket media this week, a hip flask, a scented candle and a CD of ambient noise.

    Good choices I'd say.

    But what would you have given Bayliss?

    A new floppy heat? An England cushion for that seat he's always perched in on the balcony?

    Let me know your ideas.

  18. Today will be the final match of the Trevor Bayliss era of England cricket.

    He moves on from his position as head coach after today.

    The Australian will be remembered for overseeing England's World Cup win but also managing a period that has seen the Test side decline.

    I personally would have batted first, knowing it was going to be difficult first up.

    The England top order will get tested this morning. Can they make sure they don't have one of those awful sessions where they lose four or five wickets? They need to know where off stump is and leave through to Tim Paine.
