Trott did well to stop himself clattering the stumps after this dismissal.

At least our batting has brought us back down to earth and have to grind out performances like we have done so well in recent years.

Love to see the Victorians doing all the damage for the Aussies

Broad gone now and England will seriously need the tail to wag. the pitch is an interesting one too, it doesn't seem to be much help to the bowlers. Will be intriguing to see how England bowl on it.

Go the Aussies!!!

Bairstow gone

This has become painful watching.......

That's a rather optimistic review by Finn. Might as well use them I guess...

Finn gone first ball. Hat trick chance for Starc

[Wedge2408]

Starc getting in on the action. A ripper to get rid of Bairstow and now he's on a hattrick!!
Sure he has broken the string of Victorian wickets, but I ain't complaining.....much

mitchell starc could have stole Siddle's thunder.

Almost all the English batmen got starts, you would expect a couple to go on and score big. Poor batting.

That's a lucky one for Anderson. Umpire's call but he probably thought there was an inside edge and that's why he gave it not out in the first place...

[Giraffe208]

Really poor display. Had high hopes of a decent first innings total. I guess things can only get better!

[Wedge2408]

Absolutely loving this effort by the Aussies, which was admittedly helped by some poor shot choices by some of the England batsmen. Still it is a great start to the test.

However there is a fair chance England will come out and do the exact same thing to the Aussies.

Heres hoping that doesn't happen

The recurring first innings of the series problem continues, which is incredibly frustrating. Disappointing bating from England, quite looking forward to watching the australians bat though!  Think they've been underrated to be honest
