Thanks Ffion. After my efforts in the last Test I wouldn't bet on it.

Anyway, enough from me.

I'm going to get a coffee and it'll be Matthew Henry to take you through the rest of the break and the next session.

Hopefully he can bring you more England wickets than I did.

I think it is fair to say that England have just bowled a bit too short - there were plenty of plays and misses, but on the whole Australia could defend with relative ease.

But ... Australia haven't got away. It's probably still their session, having lost just the one wicket, but let's not be too harsh on England just yet!

Chris Jones: Whilst England have bowled nice and tight, how many balls are hitting the wickets this morning? Australia have left on length well.

There were 11 maidens, all in the first 17 overs.

Just waking up? You've missed an attritional first session in the second Test in Adelaide.

Jos Buttler took a stunning catch to remove Marcus Harris for three but otherwise Australia have been digging in.

With England bowling some tight stuff, David Warner has made his slowest start to a Test innings, Marnus Labuschagne is toughing it out too while Joe Root has already blown two reviews.

The biggest news of the day has come off the field with Australia captain Pat Cummins ruled out after being deemed a close contact of a positive Covid-19 case while out at a restaurant last night.

That means Steve Smith is captaining Australia for the first time since the ball-tampering scandal.

England have picked both Stuart Broad and James Anderson and left out Jack Leach.

It has been an interesting session. Anderson and Broad took a little time to find their lengths. Broad found it in the end. Anderson has been a little short. It is a holding pattern - just sussing each other out.

England would have liked to have made more inroads with the new ball.

Well, what a gripping first session that was.

45-1 may not look like much, but somehow, loads has happened. You've got to say though, Labuschagne and Warner will be delighted to have made it through.

What a bizarre field this is.

Predictably, Labuschagne does get a short ball but he pulls to fine leg to get off strike.

It's followed by David Warner trying to heave Ben Stokes into the stands as if he's playing in the Big Bash as opposed to an Ashes Test.

Stokes is up for this. He gives Warner a smile, who rehearses his shot as if he meant to play it. Not sure who he's trying to convince, really.

A tidy over from Root concedes just two and importantly, he manages to keep Marnus Labuschagne on strike for another over of Ben Stokes bouncers.

So all five seamers have had a bowl.

It's time for Joe Root.

This is good from Stokes. You can feel the pressure building on Labuschagne.

Oooh, it's getting spicy.

Stokes is banging the ball in short and Labuschagne gets in a real tangle and cops one in the ribs. Nasty. He takes off his helmet for a breather.

What a contest this has been.

That was a remarkable piece of cricket - Labuschagne stepping away like he's playing in the Big Bash.

Where did that come from?! Marnus Labuschagne backs away and upper cuts Ben Stokes over slip for four runs! He's gone into T20 mode!

Stokes can't believe it, but Joe Root applauds him.

Just under 15 minutes to go until the break. Can England strike before then?

I guess it's technically the lunch break but in Australia it'll be taken at 4.30pm. Is that tea? Or dinner? Usually sparks a debate, this one.

Previously Warner was just defending that. It is like he has made a conscious effort to up the ante a little bit.

And on that note, Broad drops short and Warner pummels it away to the square leg boundary.

Has there been a shift in Warner's mindset now that he's settled in?
