Ollie Pope goes down to reverse sweep Nathan Lyon and again Steve Smith anticipates it.
He gets down to stop this one and there is a very brief appeal. Fair enough, it only bounced twice before it got to him...

We’ve got a problem with people stealing our pigs. Only one thing for it. ‘Matthew Hoggard.’

What is James Boiling? (90's Durham spinner). Too niche?

Don't think you can ever be too niche on this page, Matt.

Six runs from the Josh Hazlewood over, with a trio of twos for Ollie Pope.
The pick of them is a push through the covers and the good news for England is that he doesn't seem to be showing an ill effects from that shoulder problem.

Image source, PA MediaThis is his 36th or 37th Test match now, he averages 28 for a reason. Crawley's got the kind of game where he should easily average 40, easy. He just seems to give his wicket away.

Ollie Pope is off the mark first ball, working the ball through the leg side for a single.
It's a really disappointing end to a very promising innings from Zak Crawley. England had been in control since lunch and have offered Australia a way in.

Ollie Pope is in at number three after that shoulder injury that kept him off the field for so long.

Image source, Getty ImagesThat one did spin. It's a terrible shot, he's danced down too early. It just clips the pad but it certainly span. Zak Crawley does what Zak Crawley does, he plays beautifully but then just gives away an easy wicket. That's a gift. Just play sensibly.

Crawley st Carey b Lyon 48 (Eng 91-1)
Stumped down the leg side!
Zak Crawley had batted so nicely but he's given Australia a cheap one here. He comes skipping down the track, the ball turns, flicks his thigh and is well taken by Alex Carey down leg.
The wicketkeeper does the rest and Australia have their breakthrough.

Who did Salman Butt? What did Dale Steyn? Can Shane Bond? Did John Waite? (SA wicketkeeper in 60s) If anyone can, Imran Khan.

England will be very happy with how things have gone so far this afternoon and Zak Crawley has looked in particularly good touch...
drinks break Eng 88-0published at 17 overs
Crawley 48, Duckett 38
Short and wide from Josh Hazlewood to end the over and Ben Duckett sends the ball spiralling away over point as he tries to thrash it away.
It could have gone anywhere but it lands safely, they get back for three and that ends a fantastic first hour for England.
Time for drinks.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialYou don't get the opportunity to nail a team down that often. They are 80-0, but are they good enough to continue this partnership and go to 150-0?

Just a couple from the Nathan Lyon over. England are picking their moments carefully against the off-spinner.
More sensible cricket.
