    I've got Australia ahead on points at the moment. It has done enough for that.

  2. Aus 88-4

    We're open to suggestions, Tristan.

    Why is the BBC website showing Dinner rather than Lunch for the break!

    Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    You've got to be tough out here, you know that Aggers. That was a nasty ball.

  5. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match Special

    Oh! That was a nasty one! He just got tangled up.

  6. Aus 86-4

    Gorgeous scene in Hobart, boats bobbing gently on the waves. The sea is a top-edged hook from the middle.

    Head gets in a tangle against Wood and takes a nasty blow from Wood. He's OK. Remember, Wood accidentally beamed Head at the Gabba. Feels like a lifetime ago.

    England went through a period of just bowling the wrong length.

    Mark Wood, who I'm a bit surprised to see opening up now, was particularly at fault.

  8. Mark Wood has the ball. He conceded 31 from three overs earlier. He couldn't get his length right. Cameron Green and Travis Head are at the crease.

  9. Thinking about it, that session was a lot of people falling over. Broad, Marnus.

    Anyway, the players are gathering for the second session.

    I'd call it afternoon, but it's a day-nighter, so I'm not sure what it is.

    Lucy Ford: Have I woken up in a parallel universe or are Australia actually 85-4?

  11. Just waking up? I have surprisingly pleasant news.

    Australia are 85-4 after being asked to bat on the greenest of tops in Hobart. The ball has nipped all over the place.

    England have made five changes, Ollie Robinson and Stuart Broad have been superb for two wickets each, while Marnus Labuschagne counter-attacked before being bowled whilst lying down.

  12. As for the Marnus Labuschagne dismissal, it was downright bizarre.

    The world's number one batter auditioning for a role in the live action film 'Bambi Down Under'.

  13. We should have known something was amiss when this happened from the very first ball of the match.

  14. Thanks, Callum.

    That was all a bit end-of-term, wasn't it?

    For the next session the teams are going to come out in their normal clothes, play some board games and then watch Mrs Doubtfire.

    Well, that's what happened at my school on the last day of term.

  15. Time for me to go and have some breakfast.

    Stephan Shemilt will take you through the goings on from that first session and then through the next one.

    Enjoy!

  16. There is a chance that we will see some more rain at some stage today.

    We had a 30-minute delay at the start of the day due to some light rain, so the scheduled close of play is now 11:30 GMT, with play able to go on till noon.

    BBC weather forecast for Hobart

  17. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match Special

    I'm putting Australia's noses slightly ahead if I'm honest.

  18. Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson have both taken 2-15 at lunch. Broad from nine overs and Robinson from seven.

    Mark Wood is 0-31 from three overs, while Chris Woakes has 0-23 from five overs.

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

    A very, very entertaining afternoon's jousting. We saw significant seam movement before the counter-attack from Labuschagne and Head. They put some pressure back on the bowlers but just as you thought Australia were having a good session Labuschagne is bowled in extraordinary fashion.

    England will be happy. The balance is slightly in their favour.

  20. Interval

    A rather sedate final over - not really befitting of the other 23 in the session - leaves Australia 85-4 at lunch.

    Who has won that session? England? Australia? Honours even? Hard to call from 12-3 and considering the green pitch and grey overheads.
