    0.2 knocked off his feet, huge appeal for lbw! Weatherald ends flat in the crease as a rapid full delivery thunders into the pads and England have called the review. Reckon this pitched outside leg. No, it didn't! Pitches on leg stump, straightens down the leg, smashing into leg stump. A second-ball duck for Weatherald on Test debut 0/1
    14.2 bowled off the under-edge! An absolutely massive moment in this innings. Archer aimed a touch fuller, Labuschagne lined it up and tried to leave, but the extra bounce kicked off the under-side of his blade and into the stumps! Another one that wasn't initially hitting, but it is now! Vital lifeline for England 28/2
    15.5 turned inside-out and Smith snicks off to second slip! A truly immense moment in a truly immense first day. Not unlike Root's departure this morning, extra lift on a tight line, forcing him to play and finding enough sideways movement for the edge to zip to Brook. The Ashes are truly on now! 30/3
    17.2 sharp bouncer, and Khawaja is blown away! That is a brilliant piece of hostile fast bowling! Wobble seam, hitting the pitch so hard, climbing into the gloves and through to the keeper as the batter snaps his head back! England are in the mood now! Was his hand off the blade on impact? No challenge from the batter... 31/4
    29.1 goodness me, Head has given it away! Round the wicket, short of a length, Head looks to whip it away and just picks out Carse at mid-on. Stokes works his magic 76/5
    31.1 edged, taken! Stokes has his second. Full outside off, lures Green into driving away from his body, thin edge which reaches Smith around shin height 83/6
    37.4 would you believe it?! Carey has ramped this straight to deep third. A short ball from round the wicket, angling in at Carey, he gave himself some room and upper cut over the slips, picking out the fielder on the rope 121/8
    35.6 taken at mid-on! Starc's given it away. Full at the stumps, looks to heave it down the ground. Stokes has his third. This day hasn't finished giving yet 118/7

    37.6 edged, has it carried? England celebrated and Stokes has five! Umpires are going to check this. Short of a length around off stump, regulation edge from Boland but it was dying to Brook. But it's cleanly taken. 121/9
