England drop five chances in indifferent fielding display - report
Stokes bowls Inglis to leave Australia 329-6
Carse takes two wickets in over, including spectacular Jacks catch to dismiss Smith
Weatherald hits 72, Labuschagne plays nicely for 65 and Smith scores 61
England add nine runs to overnight score; bowled out for 334
Second Test, day two, Brisbane
A fortunate escape for Jake Weatherald.
The Aussie left-hander swipes at a hook and top-edges the ball over the top of wicketkeeper Jamie Smith's head.
Smith sets off in pursuit but he cannot get there and the ball has enough on it to roll over the boundary for four.

Australia off the mark from their 21st delivery of their innings.
Jake Weatherald transfers his weight on to his back foot and uses Gus Atkinson's pace to late cut him through the vacant third region for four.

The Statman Cometh: Joe Root and Jofra Archer put on the highest 10th-wicket stand by England in the first innings of an Ashes Test in Australia since K. S. Ranjitsinhji and Tom Richardson made 74 at the SCG in 1897.

Highest scores by a visiting batter in a day/night Test in Australia
Travis Head is one of the more flamboyant and attacking Australian batters, but he's been fairly reserved so far against Jofra Archer who finds a bit more rhythm in his second over.
Another maiden for the England quick.

BBC Test Match Special commentator
You sense that Australia's method will be different to England's.
Phil Tufnell
Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special
Gus Atkinson will have his moment on these Aussie wickets.
Gus Atkinson a bit more on the money than Jofra Archer.
There's a half-hearted appeal after he strikes Jake Weatherald on the pad with his first delivery before a couple beat the bat.
Weatherald, another customer at Ned Flanders' Leftorium, feels bat on ball with a nudge into the leg side but there's not run.
A maiden to start from Atkinson.
...before he perished in the deep to a fine catch from Marnus Labuschagne.
Jofra Archer played the shot of the day - thus far - with the bat a little earlier...
Penultimate delivery of the over and Jofra Archer, from the round wicket, brings the bat into play and forces Travis Head to defend.
A maiden start from Archer, albeit not a particularly threatening one.
It's nice to see Geri and Ali G have made the trip to Brisbane...

However, his first two deliveries sail down the leg side to the left-handed Travis Head.
Phil Tufnell
Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special
England will be desperate to get in, get the ball moving and stop Travis Head.
Jofra Archer has the new pink ball in hand. Travis Head on strike.
Here we go.
Simon Mann
BBC Test Match Special commentator
The good thing for England is that Travis Head will have to face the new ball.
England's players have a group huddle and pep talk from Ben Stokes as Australia openers Travis Head and Jake Weatherald make their way out to the middle.
Glenn McGrath
Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special
I think Nathan Lyon was very reserved. If I came out and said I'm absolutely filthy, it's not that strong. I think he was a lot more than filthy but was reserved with his comments. I don't mind players reacting like that, you're allowed to be disappointed. It would be worse if he cane out and said that that he didn't want to play anyway.
Jonathan Agnew
BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special
Nathan Lyon has described his mood as 'absolutely filthy'. He does say that he's not the first player to miss a Test match and he won't be the last but he knows what role he can play.
