    There is a bit in the track. The Australia bowlers will bowl pretty well on it.

  2. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    That is another frustrating one.

  3. Aus 253-3

    Chris Woakes finds the edge of Travis Head's bat and it once again drops short of Rory Burns at second slip.

  4. Aus 253-3

    Robinson squares Steve Smith up yet again but with no luck finding the edge. His extra height and bounce has made a difference today and just demonstrated how samey the rest of England's attack is.

    England have got to get another wicket from somewhere before lunch.

  5. Aus 253-3

    Chris Woakes has been very unthreatening in this Test so far. He's not done much wrong but it's just allowing Travis Head to settle into his innings without any trouble.

  6. Ian Chappell
    Former Australia captain on Test Match Special

    A lot of the frustration England have brought on themselves. You have got to pick a team and say "can this team beat Australia in Australia?". If I am picking that team there is no way I am picking Jos Buttler.

    He is in the team to take catches and take stumpings. Unless you are picking a Gilchrist who changes games with the bat I would be prepared to make that sacrifice but Buttler is not making enough runs.

  7. Here's the moment(s) of the morning so far. It's quite self-explanatory.

  8. Aus 251-3

    Robinson has bowled four overs this morning, taken one wicket and conceded two runs - both from the front foot no-balls. By far the pick of England's bowlers so far because he's bowled considerably fuller.

    Everyone takes a much-needed drinks break.

  9. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That was a nice delivery. Smith was squared up completely. The height of Robinson means Smith is not fully confident getting onto the front foot.

  10. Aus 251-3

    Ollie Robinson is causing Steve Smith a few problems here. He squares him up again, catching the edge but it just drops short of Rory Burns at second slip.

  11. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    We have not really seen anyone time the ball that well all innings. There is something nice about playing a Test at your home ground because everything is so familiar but the atmosphere is turned up a level.

  12. Aus 251-3

    Chris Woakes is on for his first over and is greeted by a crunching shot to the cover boundary for Travis Head's first runs.

    I mean, it was a terrible ball, you couldn't ask for a nicer gift to get off the mark.

  13. Who doesn't want to watch the highlights of Marnus Labuschagne's hundred at 5am?

  14. Aus 246-3

    Ollie Robinson thinks he's completed his over before he's called back because of another no-ball.

    Discipline.

  15. Aus 246-3

    Stuart Broad looks exhausted and I'm not surprised - it looks roasting out there.

    36 degrees. That is not fun.

  16. Aus 245-3

    The positivity lasts all of three balls as Steve Smith helps himself to four more after Chris Woakes fails to see the ball until its too late on the square leg boundary.

  18. Aus 241-3

    Travis Head, hero of The Gabba, is the new batter. He joins Smith, who has 27 from 95 balls.

  19. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    This is the second time Labuschagne has walked to the pavilion.

    Having been slightly wasteful, it felt a bit ominous for England with the no-ball but a glimmer of hope.

  20. Jim Maxwell
    BBC Test Match Special

    This time it will be a trudge back to the pavilion. It's not another no-ball.
