    Peter Barrett: We managed a game in the channel tunnel! We were left space at the back of the carriage, though the game required a fair few people at silly point...

    Head 66, Green 32

    Lovely from Travis Head, chopping down on one from Broad to get four through point. Earlier he reached 50 from only 53 deliveries. Have a look at some of the highlights...

    It was like someone shuffling an old refrigerator into a skip.

    Sam Billings is incredibly chatty. Constant encouragement from behind the stumps. England need him, too. They are trying to find some inspiration from somewhere. Ollie Robinson is back on the field, but a tumbling stop on the outfield is completed with all the grace of a man trying to move a mattress.

    Rory Burns will now be thinking that his dismissal from the first ball of the series is no longer the batting low point of the series after Marnus Labuschagne's dismissal today.

    That's a grim prognosis from Steven Finn, who obviously knows a thing or two about fast bowling.

    England will be worried about a stress fracture for Ollie Robinson and that is why he'll have gone off the field. You don't often go often for lower back stiffness.

    Now we're talking. I do love cricket played in unlikely places. I once managed a game inside Heathrow airport.

    Let me know yours. Even better if you've got a picture.

    Finally, here's Stuart Broad...

    Chris Southwell: At the Roggenhorn Oval in Klosters instead of having a nice grassy wicket we have a very hard packed ice/grass/snow wicket which I feel makes the Blundstone Arena look like a batting paradise.

    I'm just throwing this out there. If the domestic set-up does not aid England's preparations for Test cricket, this surface is the most county-like they are ever likely to get in a Test.

    There were seven maidens in the first nine overs, but none since.

    There's a man in a skin-tight black and white onesie running a lap of the perimeter of the ground. England might have to ask him to bowl a few overs at this rate. Just quietly, Cameron Green has moved to 24 from 36 balls. Runs are flowing at quite a rate.

    Jack Gilbert: Anyone think England are in serious trouble here. Would be surprised if our batters make more than 100 first innings on this track.

    The pink ball shines brightly under the lights. Root has a scurrying approach, skidding the ball down. This partnership is worth 48.

    Ollie Robinson has lower back stiffness according to the England changing room and he will return to the field.

    Joe Root bowling his off-breaks in the 33rd over of a day-night Test on a Hobart greentop was not in England's plan.

    Travis Head is having an absolute time out there today.

  18. Aus 127-4published at 07:45 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2022

    Take that. Head celebrates by slashing a wide one from Woakes through the covers for four. Trouble here for England. Where's Stuart Broad?

    Travis Head has been absolutely vital today.

    Aus 123-4

    Restored to the team after his bout of Covid, Travis Head repays the faith with a punchy half-century. Remember, he came to the crease at 12-3. In what could be a low-scoring match, this feels like an important knock.
