  1. Aus 253-8published at 57 overs

    Ohhh!

    Full from Mark Wood but Todd Murphy jams his bat down and squirts it through gully for four.

    Todd Murphy, Ashes debutant, is the new batter.

    The Headingley crowd have woken up. It's noisy!

    It’s madness in the TMS box. The arrival of four Gilchrists has sent the sledging up another level.

    That was as plum as it would get, there's no point in reviewing that.

    Cummins lbw b Wood 0 (Aus 249-8)

    TWO IN THE OVER FOR MARK WOOD!

    Pat Cummins is gone second ball!

    That is absolutely rapid from Wood. Cummins hasn't even got his bat down in time and the Australia captain is pinned bang in front.

    It's so plumb!

    England have taken four wickets for nine runs! Three since tea!

    The boos are nothing Cummins wouldn't have expected but the irony of Carey and Cummins batting together.

  7. Postpublished at 16:20 British Summer Time 6 July 2023

    Loud boos for Australia captain Pat Cummins as he comes out to bat.

    "Same old Aussies, always cheating" goes round again.

    Lovely full length and high pace from Wood! He's bowled well today.

    Starc b Wood 2 (Aus 249-7)

    Bowled him! England are fighting back...

    Far too quick for Mitchell Starc and Mark Wood cleans up the left-hander.

    England have taken three wickets for nine runs.

    Mark Wood is coming back on.

    He did this earlier...

    Looks like a vital few hours now for England.

    Just an Alex Carey single from Moeen Ali's latest over. Can the off-spinner hold up an end for England? It would allow them to attack with pace at the other end.

    The sun is coming out over Headingley too.

    Very clever from Root, save the catch for the man who's already settled in!

    Mitchell Starc is off the mark with a nurdle off his hips for a couple.

    A large round of applause for Chris Woakes at the end of the over. He's got 3-63 on his return to the Test side.

    Clearly they don't teach you how to catch in Yorkshire...

    Third time lucky, Ross...

    Head c Root b Woakes 39 (Eng 245-6)

    Next ball, Joe Root has caught one!

    Chris Woakes, back over the wicket, angles one across Travis Head and he edges to Joe Root at first slip.

    Root takes the catch and then throws the ball to the ground in frustration!

    This is an opening for England now.

    It's so frustrating for the bowlers, they've created so many opportunities.

    Aus 245-5

    Another one goes down. England have dropped four catches today.

    Width from Chris Woakes and Alex Carey throws his hands at it. A thick edge goes towards Joe Root, and with both hands above his head, the ball bursts through them and runs away for one.

    The sight of hundreds of England fans holding their shoes in the air shouting at Alex Carey is quite something.

    There seems to be quite a repertoire of anti-Alex Carey songs. Some of which I couldn't possibly repeat on here.

    Ollie Robinson has a back spasm and will be off the field for the rest of the day.
