    Root gets the first thing right. England bat, although it wasn't necessarily a totally straightforward decision.

    C'mon James Vince, he's QPR through and through and goes to every home match that he can.

    I'm listening to it on the wireless on 5 live. You do get the clips of the action on Twitter a few minutes later though ...

    I'm going to risk it....

    Stoneman and Vince are looking solid. No dramas for either of them so far.

    BT's coverage not too bad so far.
    Off to bed soon. I won't risk commenting on Vince and Stoneman.
    Cook got a good ball but should have been further forward.

    I'm off to bed. Listening to the commentary on the radio is akin to being a child 40 odd years ago. I used to listen to the football, boxing and round the world yachting in the 70's and tried to paint a picture of what was going on. It still remains hard work. F***ing BT Sport.

    Will take that after the start.... First ball that moved got Cookie, heck of a ball.
    Don't care about the run rate just yet Aussie, this stage of the test will set the tone for the next few months

    Good morning, not a bad start, these two seem to be in charge, bat for two days 500 hundred plus on the board then skittle the aussies on a decaying pitch next two days and take the fifth off, oh and qpr for the playoffs

    Great start by England.
    Nathan Lyons certainly backing up his words and really making England pay............................................not.
    So England survive the first session and now settling in to build a solid first innings - 1 / 127 doing nicely.
    Have to go ................
    Finally got thru to Warnies' mobile, hoping to entice him back out of retirement.
    Wish me luck.
    Aussie.

    Stop Press !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Stoneman OUT for 53.
    Now 2 / 127.
    Aussies hoping to string a few quick wickets.

    Captain Joe Root to the crease.......................

    Shame Vince didn't get to a hundred. He was playing beautifully before I went to bed. Him and Stoneman have done well.
    Not an easy wicket to bat on and that twat Lyon is getting a fair bit of turn.
    158-3.

    Who'd have thought that a spinner would be pick of the bowlers on day one at the Gabba?
