    Lunch is at 02:00 GMT. The scheduled close of play is now at 07:30, but we can play until 08:00.

  3. Aus 30-0published at 12 overs

    David Warner clips a single off his feet but that's the only run to come from Ben Stokes' opening over.

    I think I see Mark Wood warming up...

    A change for England - Ben Stokes is on in place of Stuart Broad.

    England probably feel more relaxed when they are bowling first. It has been their strength in this series.

    The batters will be really nervous and the bowlers will be saying "we're doing an alright job, actually".

  6. Aus 29-0published at 11 overs

    James Anderson zips a delivery tantalisingly close to Marcus Harris' outside edge.

    Lunch will still be at 2am UK time, by the way. Lunch moves for no-one in Test cricket.

    Thank you. I was told I didn't have to work today but I thought why not?

    I must commend you Alex for coming in today after a 24-hour flight yesterday.

  9. Aus 27-0published at 10 overs

    Just a single comes off the rest of Stuart Broad's over.

  10. Aus 26-0published at 9.1 overs

    Four!

    Short from Stuart Broad and Marcus Harris, who rarely looks convincing, gets this right out of the meat of the bat, rolling his wrists to send it down to the square-leg boundary.

    There was almost a little bit of fight from James Anderson after being punched for four.

    There has just been enough in the last couple of overs to suggest that England are just starting to find where they want to be.

  13. Aus 22-0published at 9 overs

    That was just missing leg stump! Not by much, mind you.

    Warner ends the over by getting into a horrible tangle once again as he tries to fend a ball off his pads.

    David Warner just got in a little bit of a tangle there.

    It didn't look out. You just know when it has hit the pad. It just did too much and it was going to miss leg stump for me.

  16. Aus 22-0published at 8.3 overs

    Big shout for lbw against David Warner...

    No, Anderson shakes his head towards Root as he comes down to chat about a review. It was full, striking Warner flush on the pad, but it didn't feel like it lined up quite right.

    James Anderson has bowled a few four deliveries since the restart.

    That was really just a push from David Warner. He did look a little bit hurried by it but it raced away.

  19. Aus 22-0published at 8.2 overs

    David Warner is in typically pugnacious mood, advancing and bunting a fuller James Anderson delivery past the bowler's outstretched hand and away for four.

    This is very un-Andersonlike.

    Stuart Broad is creating a few questions than James Anderson. He is just getting a little bit more movement off the pitch.

    That final ball was the perfect line from Broad. It started on middle stump and nipped away and just missed off stump ever so slightly.
