A pair of dot balls to end the over but Usman Khawaja does look intent on putting the pressure on Moeen Ali.

Top shot from Usman Khawaja.
The left-hander uses his feet and drives beautifully through the covers for four.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's been very good from England but the sun is just starting to come back out.
Australia are just ticking along. It's old-school.

Maiden over from Ollie Robinson to Steve Smith. The latter is frustrated after driving the last ball straight to extra cover.
It's an intriguing battle, though. Smith is showing his Sussex team-mate plenty of respect.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorIt will be interesting to see how Australia play Moeen Ali. Last series in Australia, they hit Jack Leach out of the attack pretty much straight away.

That commentary from Isa Guha for the Labuschagne dismissal was next level! Just felt the excitement of the moment.

Isa's Labuschagne wicket commentary gave me goosebumps - top work

We're not even at lunch on day two and we've already had a couple brilliant Ashes moments in this series.
This one, called by Isa Guha and Ebony Rainford-Brent on TMS, is right up there...

Usman Khawaja takes two from the over but not particularly convincingly.
Something of a drag-down from Moeen Ali, Khawaja tries to pull but the ball comes off his glove and loops away fine.
Solid start from Moeen all told.

There's an appeal first ball!
It slides down leg and Usman Khawaja fiddled at it. Jonny Bairstow took it but there's nothing doing.
What a start that would have been, though!

Time for some spin now. Moeen Ali is going to have his first bowl of the match.
His first bowl in Test cricket for nearly two years.

Good start from Ollie Robinson. He manages to find a bit of extra bounce on a couple of occasions to keep Steve Smith honest.
The former Australia skipper gets two from the over with a push through the vacant mid-off region.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialOllie Robinson to Steve Smith is the match-up that I have really been looking forward to.
Robinson's been bowling at him in the nets at Sussex - has he worked out a thing or two?

The plan last just one over on this occasion. Harry Brook is going to be replaced by Ollie Robinson.
This should be good to watch, the pair have played together at Sussex in the early part of the season.

Image source, PA MediaSome logic to the Brook-Smith plan - Smith thrives against the highest pace, averaging 62 against the very fastest bowlers. Have England cooked up a theory that they can befuddle him with some dobbers?

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialEngland are saying we know you are not going to score this quickly or at this rate. We'll have catchers in place and in front of the wicket. We've already seen much more catchers in place today than we did yesterday. Steve Smith had seven catchers, you could argue maybe even nine. Bairstow's catch off Labuschagne was brilliant.

We're back after drinks and Jimmy Anderson is going very, very full to Usman Khawaja.
He's really trying to tempt him into a drive with those two fielders catching at cover.
No joy this time.

Stuart Broad. David Warner. Marnus Labuschagne. Two balls. Two wickets.
