  1. Aus 54-3published at 27 overs

    It's been a fine start from Broad and Anderson - how many times have we said that down the years? But, the England Bowlers Who Are Not Stuart Or Jimmy really have to step up to keep this fine start going.

    Marnus Labuschagne does that "looks like I'll pull but I'll leave it" thing but that's a good first over from the Sussex seamer.

  2. Aus 53-3published at 26 overs

    Stuart Broad's Karate Kid-style headband never gets old, for me.

    He is absolutely on the money again, giving Labuschagne a thorough examination in a fine maiden over.

    Ollie Robinson is replacing Jimmy Anderson at the other end.

  3. Aus 53-3published at 25 overs

    Another testing over goes by, this time from Jimmy Anderson, as Australia consolidate after that frenetic start.

    This was superb.

  5. Aus 52-3published at 24 overs

    Smith goes for a waft outside off stump to a lovely delivery from Broad outside off.

    Still no word about Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow is on the field in his absence.

    Matt Chapman: England are being thoroughly out played in this series and have been poor, make no mistake about it. But that Smith call just about sums up their luck so far.

  8. Aus 52-3published at 23 overs

    Jimmy Anderson gives Labuschagne the hurry-up with one that lifts off a length, the batter almost turning his head away. The weird thing is that last night, under the lights, the bowling looked unthreatening at the time you'd think it would be lively - but now the England attack are in the ascendant.

    Cricket, eh?

  9. Aus 52-3published at 22 overs

    Steve Smith punches the day's first boundary off Stuart Broad through the offside, then the bowler whistles the next delivery past his outside edge.

    Ste B: That sums up England's tour so far in one over.

  12. Aus 48-3published at 04:22 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2021

    Buttler's catch to dismiss Harris was out of the top drawer, but dropping arguably the world's best batter first up - facepalm.

    Marnus Labuschagne plays out a quiet maiden from Anderson in the mean time.

    Steve Tredup: It is slightly embarrassing that it has taken this long for the England bowlers to finally pitch it up. Look what could have been.

    Right, two wickets, a dropped catch and an LBW review...just the quiet start I expected.

    It's Umpire's Call, hitting just - just - outside the line and Smith survives.

    Next up and Broad is appealing for LBW, it is given not out - and we go upstairs...

    Oh no!

    Steve Smith edges his first to Buttler's right - and he spills it!

    Harris c Buttler b Broad 23 (Aus 48-3)

    Brilliant catch by Jos Buttler - what a start!

    Harris prodded away outside off stump and edged it low to the keeper's left, but Buttler was equal to it and grabbed it just above the turf.

    It's all happening!
