    I'm claiming that wicket, just woke up and put the radio on to hear "Tongue has bowled him!" I did that, thank you everyone!

  2. Aus 244-6

    Australia captain Pat Cummins is the new batter.

    Having won the toss and elected to bat in these conditions, the returning skipper might have hoped to have his feet up all day today but no such luck.

    Big wicket for England. The old ball (overs 61-80) can get battered at Adelaide Oval - the average in that phase (42) is the highest for any Aussie venue in the past 15 years.

    That is a huge blow. It got too close to Josh Inglis. The angle that Josh Tongue creates over the wicket and it was always angling in. The inside edge onto the stumps. A good change for England!

    WICKET

    Inglis b Tongue 32 (Aus 244-6)

    Bowled 'im!

    Josh Tongue replaces Jofra Archer and breaks the partnership.

    Length ball and straight, forcing Josh Inglis to try and defend but the ball comes off the toe of the bat and back onto the stumps.

    England have opened up an end again.

  6. Aus 244-5

    Inglis 32, Carey 71

    If I'm honest, Joe, when England find themselves in the match during an away Ashes Test, I find it's better just to enjoy such a rare treat rather than question how or why...

    England's tactics make no sense. Archer builds pressure, Jacks relieves it for them. It’s only due to five poor shots that we are somehow in this match.

  8. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Just on Nathan Lyon at Adelaide - 63 wickets in 14 previous Tests.

    To put that into context, Shane Warne has 56 wickets in 13 Tests in Adelaide.

  9. Aus 238-5

    I can only assume Michael is joking...

    Anyway, Alex Carey moves into the 70 as he plays across the line but times the ball nicely over the in-field and away to the deep mid-wicket boundary.

  10. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I think most Australians will want England to win this week, so it carries on the Ashes.

  11. Aus 231-5

    Not sure I'd describe Jofra Archer as pedestrian, Faron, and regardless of how the wickets have gone fallen, England have got Australia five down on what looks a very good batting surface.

    And right on cue, Archer gets Alex Carey hopping with a ball that just finds the gap between pad and thigh pad. Ouch.

    Another maiden.

    Honestly, England's bowling attack is so pedestrian, not one of them intimidate the Aussie batsmen. England are lucky that most of the batsmen have thrown their wicket away.

    Faron, Australia

  13. Aus 231-5

    Josh Inglis top edges a slog sweep and the ball goes high into the leg side.

    Chance of a catch? No, England don't have a deep mid-wicket for Will Jacks so the ball lands safely and bobbles away for four.

    Jofra Archer has been magnificent today. He has bowled with great pace and discipline.

  15. Aus 226-5

    Some frustration for Jofra Archer as he rushes Alex Carey with a quick bouncer but sees the ball going between slip and gully as the left-hander fends it off.

    An ugly shot from Carey ends the over, the ball just trickling to square leg as he aimed a shot leg side.

  16. What you've missed on day one

    If you set an alarm for 5am, here's what you've missed today.

    Australia lost both their openers in the space of six balls, with Zak Crawley taking a superb catch to remove Travis Head.

    Having seen their side slip from 33-0 to 33-2, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne added 61 runs before lunch, while the former was dropped on five.

    But after the interval Jofra Archer took the wickets of Labuschagne and Cameron Green in the first three balls of the afternoon session, leaving the home side flailing.

    Khawaja and Alex Carey calmly rebuilt, with the former reaching 82 on his return to the side as a late replacement for Steve Smith, who withdrew from the Australia side shortly before the start of play.

    He was dismissed by Will Jacks just before tea, with Australia reaching the break on 194-5.

    Since then Carey has begun to accumulate alongside Josh Inglis, with their partnership now worth 41.

  17. Aus 222-5

    Alex Carey whips Will Jacks through wide mid-on for four as he continues on his merry way.

    Jofra Archer was the fielder and rather dived over it.

    Play and miss next ball with Carey aiming a big shot leg side, missing and seeing the ball narrowly miss off stump.

  18. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket reporter in Adelaide

    Joe Root has 73 wickets in Test cricket. Four of those wickets are Alex Carey - Carey is the batter Root has dismissed most. Only India's Ravichandran Ashwin has dismissed Carey on more occasions.

    Steve SmithGetty Images

    I don't know whether Steve Smith's withdrawal panicked them. That force that Smith is in the batting line-up might have made Australia a bit jittery.

  20. Aus 213-5

    I'm sure he'd prefer a newer, harder ball, Jason, but given he's taken 3-21 from 13 overs and still making life uncomfortable for the Australia batters in this spell, I think Jofra Archer is doing OK.

    A pair of singles from his latest with Alex Carey have to drop his hands to avoid nicking the last ball of the over behind.
