Stokes doesn't seem to bowl himself under his own inspirational captaincy

Smith sadly looks in great form. Until he played onto his own stumps that is :lol:

I think it's the best move in the circumstances to bring Moeen Ali back in. His off spin will be very useful against the 5 or so left handers in the Aussie line-up. A delicious prospect for when Root, Pope, Brook, Bairstow etc have accumulated big runs, to then have Moeen enter and "hopefully" smash the Aussies tired bowlers out the park!

Labuschagne has been in excellent form today
It's still a mystery to me how he went to sleep, woke up and batted 41 not out :'(

Very unfortunate for Brook. Can remember something similar happening to Graham Gooch. He was give out because he handled the ball stopping it from hitting the stumps after spotting what was going to happen.

Not sure who will be happier team after day one. England gifted a couple of their wickets and Australia dropped a couple of catches
