Aus. 299/8 Day One
end of first day, a riveting day. . Australia have runs at a good clip, but with no scores over 51, England have stuck to their task well, with Chris Woakes the pick of the bowlers, but Stuart Broad's 600th wicket was the landmark moment. Wood bowled rapidly to pries out a well-set Steve Smith, and Moeen chipped in with the other big gun, Labuschagne. Two pacers of England have more than 1200 wickets between them.
A balanced day, if Aus can take lead say beyond 320, it will remain a balanced game.
