    This is Ashes cricket, a fast bowler on a bouncy pitch. This isn't Test batting from Warner. He looks like he could go at any time.

  2. Aus 20-1published at 10.4 overs

    This is proper, proper cricket. For a third time Warner gets away with one to Wood.

    Joe Butler: Broad would have had him out by now… just saying.

  4. Aus 20-1published at 10.1 overs

    Mark Wood is really causing Warner problems here. The opener has another unsuccessful fiddle as the ball zooms past him.

    Trail by 127

    There's a saying about maidens and wickets. That's two in a row now.

    Ben: Don't care really about result now after yesterday. Just want fight. Well done Robinson

    Chris Woakes is back, ending Ollie Robinson's impressive opening spell.

    Wood has got Warner's beans going.

  9. Aus 20-1published at 9 overs

    Wooooft. Warner must be in good nick because most would be struggling to see this rockets from Wood. It has been a really good start from the Durham speedster. Accurate and rapid.

    Warner swishes at the final ball - a wider one. Unsettled?

  11. Aus 20-1published at 8.3 overs

    The ball is certainly cracking off Warner's bat at the moment. It's echoing around this massive bowl. Twice he picks out the fielder.

  12. Postpublished at 00:10 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2021

    England are enjoying themselves out there at the moment, but this man is up for the battle...

  13. Aus 20-1published at 8 overs

    Warner 9, Labuschagne 8

    Marnus Labuschagne averages 27 against bowlers with a release point over 2.15m (like Robinson) compared to 83 against those with a low release. This could be a battle we see again and again in the series.

    After the edgy boundary earlier in the over, Labuschagne takes four in much more convincing fashion back past the bowler. An arm wrestle.

    Chris Knights: Given the talk about Jimmy, Broady and Woody's pace, I think Ol-Rob may have slipped under the radar.

  15. Aus 16-1published at 7.3 overs

    More words between Robinson and Labuschagne after the Australia number three edges down to the boundary!

  17. Aus 11-1published at 7 overs

    Jos Buttler is stood so far back to Wood he could take a seat on the advertising boards between deliveries. Wood is up at 94mph but after being tested by the short ball Labuschagne leaves the sucker punch fuller one.

  18. How's stat?!published at 00:02 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2021

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Ollie Robinson took 28 wickets in five Tests in the home summer. That's the most in the first five Tests of a career by an England bowler since Nick Cook, a left-arm spinner, and the most by a seamer since Fred Trueman.

  19. Aus 11-1published at 6.2 overs

    A bowling change already from England. Mark Wood replaces Chris Woakes and catapults his first ball down at 90mph.

    Patience is the key for England. They've started pretty well.
