  1. Eng 37-4

    Hameed 16, Pope 4

    The Aussies have Marcus Harris under a helmet at leg gully with Hameed lurching around in defence in uncomfortable fashion. The England opener uses a lot of wrist - showing his stumps in the process - to take three from Cummins' final ball.

    James McHale: Why do we even bother?

    JW: So how about that weather? Rain would be very welcome right about now.

    Can England last until the afternoon storms?

  6. Eng 30-4

    Hameed 12, Pope 1

    Ollie Pope is off the mark first ball. I won't tempt fate this time.

    Australia are rampant.

    That's a beautiful bit of bowling. Angled in from round the wicket and it got big on Stokes. England are in all sort of trouble.

    WICKET

    Stokes c Labuschagne b Cummins 5 (Eng 29-4)

    Ah. It was good while it lasted. The Australians are roaring in delight again and no wonder - the man they fear more than any other is out.

    Ben Stokes gets turned around by a lovely ball from Pat Cummins. It takes the edge of his bat and is snaffled at third slip.

    England have gone past 26, which is the lowest Test score in history...

  11. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Ben Stokes is looking a bit more proactive since the drinks breaks.

  12. Eng 28-3

    Here we go. Book that urn into the hand luggage bound for Heathrow. Ben Stokes drives Cummins perfectly through the covers.

    Tuffers is on TMS and let's out a very partisan "YES". We'll let him off here.

    The ground has pretty well filled up by the drinks break. There are a couple of half-bays on the upper level that aren't yet full, but everywhere else looks well packed. What a thing, to have a fully subscribed Test match.

    It doesn't get any more dramatic than that. It all felt wrong from the start. Team selection, conditions, the pitch, winning the toss and batting. It felt a bit confused.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    It's been quite the hour for England. Rory Burns has carved out a place for himself in Ashes folklore.

  17. Well things couldn't have gone much worse for England...

  18. Drinks break

    And that'll be drinks.

    Don't you dare go to sleep.

  19. Eng 24-3

    Mitchell Starc is looking up at the big screen, wondering how Haseeb Hameed failed to edge another testing slingshot of a delivery. To his credit, Hameed is digging in.

  20. Here's the second wicket to fall today - Dawid Malan being seen off by Josh Hazlewood.
