    Surely the MoHawk.

  2. Eng 48-1published at 10.3 overs

    This the seventh time Moeen Ali has batted at number three for England. I think he's batted everywhere from one down to nine in his 65 previous Tests so we shouldn't be that surprised.

    Zak Crawley happy to see off three balls from Pat Cummins with some stoic defensive play.

    Moeen Ali is in at three and after an initial moment of shock, the crowd have thought about it - and they love it.

    Big cheers from the Western Terrace.

    The first twist of the day with Moeen Ali. This is interesting!

    Has he come to give it a bit of a dash?

  5. Eng 47-1published at 9.4 overs

    Moeen Ali off the mark with a single before a thick outside edge off Zak Crawley's bat - played with a degree of control - brings England their first boundary of the day.

    I don't mind it, but if he nicks off early then Australia are back in the game.

    Duckett lbw b Starc 23 (Eng 42-1)

    GONE. It's full from Mitchell Starc and Ben Duckett has walked right across his stumps.

    That's plumb, and a bit of a waste of a review.

    Ben Duckett does wander across in front of his stumps.

  12. England reviewpublished at 11:20 British Summer Time 9 July 2023

    Ben Duckett is hit on the pads by Mitchell Starc's first ball which looks full and straight. He's given out on field.

    From an Australian point of view, there is still bounce in the wicket. There is a little bit of life in it. They will be looking to exploit that.

    The pitch at Headingley notoriously gets better to bat, that's what the statistics say. Although this pitch feels a little bit different. There is definitely something still in it for the Australia bowlers.

  15. Eng 40-0published at 8.4 overs

    Ben Duckett plays - of course he does - and misses to a ball with a scrambled seam from Pat Cummins, operating round the wicket, first up.

    The England left-hander pokes at the Australia captain's fourth ball and manages to steer it behind point for a single.

    The first hour is going to be super important. If Australia can make breakthroughs you never know what will happen but if Crawley and Duckett survive England might do it pretty quickly.

  17. Eng 39-0published at 8.0 overs

    The left-right hand combination helpful for England as Mitchell Starc struggles with his lines a little.

    There is some swing there from the Aussie left-arm quick, who is attacking with a fuller length to Zak Crawley in particular.

    Starc's fourth ball strikes Ben Duckett on the pad and, like a group of crows disturbed by a car door slamming, the Aussie slip cordon squawk an appeal.

    There's a brief conflab but Australia decline to review.

    I am really interested to see how Pat Cummins captains today. For the first time in the series he brought the point fielder up for Zak Crawley yesterday. He might have to do that today to entice the big shot.

    Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    In the first 15 overs of the innings in this series, England have scored off 40% of deliveries, while Australia just 20%.

    A part of that is the way they are seeking to play but also the passive fields that Australia are setting.
