After opting to bat first, England were hoping to get a start from their openers. Mark Stoneman and Alastair Cook strode out to the middle with the similar intent but the latter nicked one behind in the third over of the day off Mitchell Starc.
The ball was pitched up by the bowler around the off-stump which shaped a little bit and Cook had to play at it. The end result was a nick behind to the wicketkeeper Tim Paine who accepted it gleefully. Cook could only score 2 runs and the visitors couldn’t get off to a flier after winning the toss.
