Broad: "It is pretty unbelievable. It has not sunk in. All the talk was about us and how we play in this game. Yes, we won the toss, but we still had to bowl well. The catching was excellent. Stokes' catch was unbelievable. It is one of those things that you can't think about (on him being one short of 300 wickets). But before going to bed last night, I thought to get it out of the way quickly. I am not sure we will get too much sunshine today. So, we have to graft hard and we have the batters who are brought up in these conditions. Cook is the best man to do it."

We will be back for the England reply soon. They will have around 3 overs to bat before lunch. Before we take a minute's break, we have the man of the moment - Broad's interview. Enjoy!

A final word on the English catching. Whatever went to hand they caught and I can't remember a single half-chance put down. A couple of times the ball dropped short of the slip cordon but their pouching today was first-class. Cook too displayed great attacking captaincy by posting six slips when he knew that Broad was on fire. Australia need to come out with all guns blazing and hope for a similar bowling effort - mind you the Ashes is fast slipping away from their grasp

It will take some time for this batting performance by Australia to sink in. Apart from Warner and to an extent Nevill who got good ones the others pretty much were at sea against the moving ball. Yes the pitch did something but it was never a 60 all-out pitch. Broad bowled unchanged and finished with career-best figures. Didn't need much support from the other end but Wood and Finn did their parts well too

14 extras were the highest scorer in the innings. Mitch Johnson was the next best with 13. Pretty much sums up the Aussie innings. The innings was over in 94 minutes to be exact. In 18.3 overs. Broad with 8/15 including his 300th Test wicket. He tried so hard to get it at Edgbaston but couldn't. Today off his third ball he got it, dismissing Rogers. Then the Aussie procession started. It was insane Test cricket and England have just blown Australia away

18.3 - Broad to Lyon, out Caught by Stokes!! Australia rolled over for 60! Anderson claps with a smile on his face. Broad finishes with 8/15. On his home ground. He is walking off with ball in hand, waving it to all parts of TB. Andrew Strauss suited and booted is there as well. Another back of a length delivery outside off, Lyon pushes with hard hands (do I need to say it again?) and the edge carries to Stokes at 6th slip. Easy grab and that is all over for the Aussies in the first innings. Broad leads the side off the field. Lyon c Stokes b Broad 9(20) [4s-2]

Broad to Lyon, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

18.2 - Broad to Lyon, FOUR, full outside off, Lyon throws his bat on the drive and then watches the thick edge fly over the slip cordon. Good that he went hard for it ensured that the edge didn't carry

18.1 - Broad to Lyon, no run, way outside off, easy leave

Over: 18	0 0 0 0 0 1Nb 0	AUS 56/9
Hazlewood 4(15)	Lyon 5(17)	Finn 6-0-21-1

17.6 - Finn to Hazlewood, no run, back of a length on the stumps, Hazlewood goes deep in the crease and defends to cover

17.6 - Finn to Lyon, no ball, 1 run, tucked off the hips to fine leg, for a single. Finn has overstepped

17.5 - Finn to Lyon, no run, too high and Aleem Dar shakes his head. Full and nipping in, Lyon shuffles across and misses the flick. Is struck on the thigh pad. Would've gone down too. Cook doesn't review

These two tailenders are showing more determination and stickability than the top and middle order showed in their innings

17.4 - Finn to Lyon, no run, back of a length outside off, Lyon pulls his bat inside the line once more to leave

17.3 - Finn to Lyon, no run, short outside off, rising, Lyon tucks his bat inside the line to let it go

17.2 - Finn to Lyon, no run, wide of the crease and another outswinger on a fuller length outside off, Lyon shoulders arms

17.1 - Finn to Lyon, no run, outswinger outside off, left alone

Over: 17	0 0 0 0 0 0	AUS 54/9
Hazlewood 4(14)	Lyon 4(11)	Broad 9-5-11-7

16.6 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, wry smiles from both Broad and Hazlewood. Angled in and was hitting the stumps, but the bounce takes it over the edge of the bat and the stumps. Broad gets a second maiden in a row but he still can't get Hazlewood out

16.5 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, Hazlewood is beaten on the back foot punch. Short and rising outside off, Hazlewood's forceful shot didn't make contact

16.4 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, still the line is outside off, Hazlewood tucks the bat inside the line of the ball and lets it go

Third man brought in on the off-side. The man on the off-side goes to mid-on

16.3 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, outside off, left alone

16.2 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, sharply rising delivery outside off, Hazlewood was surprised by the bounce on that, tried to fend and then realised it was too big for him, Buttler collects

16.1 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, angled in on the stumps, Hazlewood backs away slightly and defends, the sixth slip runs around and collects

Over: 16	0 0 4 0 0 0	AUS 54/9
Lyon 4(11)	Hazlewood 4(8)	Finn 5-0-19-1

15.6 - Finn to Lyon, no run, back of a length outside off, Lyon hops and defends to cover

15.5 - Finn to Lyon, no run, back of a length down leg, Lyon flicks and misses. A rare off-target delivery from the Englishmen today

15.4 - Finn to Lyon, no run, short of length on the stumps, turned to short leg

15.3 - Finn to Lyon, FOUR, pitched up on off stump, Lyon gets forward and lofts it back over the bowler's head. It is a tease for Broad from mid-off and he can't get there. Nice looking shot from Lyon there as he held the pose after playing that. The key was he was looking to play straight

Six slips and a short leg in

15.2 - Finn to Lyon, no run, back of a length outside off, Lyon now plays at that and pushes out, the seam movement beats the bat

15.1 - Finn to Lyon, no run, short of length outside off, rising outside off, Lyon plays inside the line and lets it go. Dropped his hands quickly too

Over: 15	0 0 0 0 0 0	AUS 50/9
Hazlewood 4(8)	Lyon 0(5)	Broad 8-4-11-7

14.6 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, pitched up outside off, Hazlewood leaves that alone, a maiden over from Broad but he would've wanted an eighth one there

14.5 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, back of a length outside off, Hazlewood plays inside the line of that and the ball goes well wide of the bat, didn't threaten the stumps too

Clarke is seen chewing his gum ferociously

14.4 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, pitched up outside off, Hazlewood drives and gets a big inside edge to the left of the bowler

14.3 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, in the corridor of uncertainty again, this time Hazlewood lets it go

14.2 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, loose from Hazlewood. Very full and outside off, should've been left alone but Hazlewood drives and misses, went for the square drive and didn't connect

14.1 - Broad to Hazlewood, no run, pitched up outside off, from round the wicket, Hazlewood is showing all his three stumps, pushes limply and is beaten. Not far from the edge

Over: 14	3 0 0 0 0 0	AUS 50/9
Lyon 0(5)	Hazlewood 4(2)	Finn 4-0-15-1

13.6 - Finn to Lyon, no run, short of length on the stumps, Lyon pushes it wide of short leg and looks for the quick single, Hazlewood isn't interested

13.5 - Finn to Lyon, no run, just short of Stokes at fifth slip. The edge was found as Lyon hung his bat out at a back of a length delivery outside off, but it died down to the left of the diving Ben Stokes. He tried to clasp it but just a couple of inches short

13.4 - Finn to Lyon, no run, full and the outswinger outside off, Lyon gets forward and then shoulders arms extravagantly

13.3 - Finn to Lyon, no run, full and down leg, Lyon flicks and misses

13.2 - Finn to Lyon, no run, short of length outside off, Lyon pulls his bat inside the line and lets it go. Lots of ooh and aahs from behind the wicket

13.1 - Finn to Hazlewood, 3 runs, ironic cheers around TB. Boof Lehmann won't like that as he watches it all in. "Sarcasm at its naughtiest" says Mikey Holding on air. Described it beautifully. Full and swinging in, flicked through mid-wicket and they take three. Then the crowd stand up and clap for a good 10-15 seconds. Even the Aussies in the ground with their flags applaud sarcastically. Brilliant humor from the crowd

Nathan Lyon, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Over: 13	0 0 0 W 1 W	AUS 47/9
Johnson 13(25)	Hazlewood 1(1)	Broad 7-3-11-7

12.6 - Broad to Johnson, out Caught by Root!! Another. Nine down. Johnson does the same thing as Starc, back of a length outside off, seamed away, Johnson followed it and it hit the bat splice before safely landing in Root's hands at third slip. He is all smiles and does a double thumbs up to his mates. Broad too sports a big grin on his face. Johnson tried to defend that but the movement and the bounce took the edge. Johnson c Root b Broad 13(25) [4s-2]

Broad to Johnson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

12.5 - Broad to Hazlewood, 1 run, Hazlewood pushes that in the gap at point and gets off the mark with the single. The point region is vacant

Josh Hazlewood, left handed bat, comes to the crease

12.4 - Broad to Starc, out Caught by Root!! Very poor from Starc too. These Aussies aren't learning at all. Going with hard hands at deliveries that should be left alone. Full outside off, Starc pushes well away from the body and gets a thick edge on the drive, carries to Root at third slip around stomach height. They check for the no-ball but Broad is fine. Starc c Root b Broad 1(8)

Broad to Starc, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

12.3 - Broad to Starc, no run, full and on the stumps, draws a thick outside edge as Starc came forward to defend, the ball rolls to the left of sixth slip where Lyth makes a fine diving stop. Saved some runs

Still the six slips stay

12.2 - Broad to Starc, no run, angled in on the stumps, pushed to mid-on

12.1 - Broad to Starc, no run, back of a length outside off, Starc defends to cover

Over: 12	0 4 0 0 4 0	AUS 46/7
Johnson 13(24)	Starc 1(4)	Finn 3-0-12-1

11.6 - Finn to Johnson, no run, that has shot across to Buttler. Pitched on a good length and nips back in extravagantly, misses the bat and pad and flies over the stumps. Buttler does well to leap and grab that to his right with both hands. That went off from a length. Johnson wears a tough expression on his face

11.5 - Finn to Johnson, FOUR, streaky but four. On a back of a length and outside off, Johnson punches and gets it through the vacant gully and backward point area. Was in the air but went in the gap. Finn has his hands on his head

11.4 - Finn to Johnson, no run, short of length on the stumps, Johnson stands tall and blocks

11.3 - Finn to Johnson, no run, nips back in and towards the thigh pad, Johnson misses the flick and it runs off the pads towards the vacant short leg area

11.2 - Finn to Johnson, FOUR, hard push but wide of the diving fifth slip. Full and Johnson played it down, getting it wide of the left-hand of the slip fielder. There is no third man and a boundary for Johnson and Australia - which will be much appreciated

11.1 - Finn to Johnson, no run, Johnson is beaten! Full and angled across Johnson, he felt for it and was beaten all ends up. The feet were rooted to the crease that time

Perhaps one could sympathise with him and say that he didn't expect such a dreadful start but he never looked at ease at the crease. Is a great career ending? After the start that the Aussie have had, it would take a miracle to save the Ashes now

And that will be drinks. Blimey! What an hour of Test cricket that was. Australia seven down after one hour. Michael Clarke and Co. have some explaining to do. Apart from Warner and perhaps Nevill the others played poor shots to get out. The worst came from the skipper who flashed at a wide delivery. Shows his mental state at the moment. He was nervous at the toss and he carried that into his batting

Over: 11	2 0 0 0 1L 0	AUS 38/7
Starc 1(4)	Johnson 5(18)	Broad 6-3-10-5

10.6 - Broad to Starc, no run, pitched up outside off, Starc pushes it tamely back to Broad

Six slips in now. Yes six!

10.5 - Broad to Johnson, leg byes, 1 run, down leg, catches the thigh pad and evades Buttler's dive, they take a leg bye

10.4 - Broad to Johnson, no run, short of length outside off, left alone

10.3 - Broad to Johnson, no run, Johnson shoulders arms to one that isn't far away from off stump, bounce and it didn't seam back in enough to hit off

10.2 - Broad to Johnson, no run, short of length on the stumps, solidly defended by Johnson

10.1 - Broad to Johnson, 2 runs, full and swinging in, clipped in the air but over Moeen Ali at square leg. They are happy with two

A 19-ball fifer for Broad. It is the joint-quickest fifer in Tests after Ernie Toshack's similar effort in 1947 against India. Also Broad becomes the fifth Englishman to get to 300 Test scalps. He joins Fred Trueman, Sir Ian Botham, Bob Willis and Jimmy Anderson in the elite list. Took me so long to put this up - shows what an hour of Test cricket we have had

Over: 10	1 W 0 0 1 1	AUS 35/7

9.6 - Finn to Johnson, 1 run, full and swinging in towards the pads, clipped to deep backward square leg, for a single

9.5 - Finn to Starc, 1 run, short of length on the stumps, Starc defends it square of the wicket, in the vacant point region, gets an easy single

9.4 - Finn to Starc, no run, now this delivery nips back in and catches Starc on the thigh pad, that would've stung. Luckily Starc is wearing some protection

9.3 - Finn to Starc, no run, loose from Starc, angled across on a back of a length outside off, Starc pushed out limply and was lucky not to have edged it

Mitchell Starc, left handed bat, comes to the crease

9.2 - Finn to Nevill, out Bowled!! Seven down now. The sorry tale of the Aussie innings continues. Nevill is half-forward, unsure of his footwork, wanted to come forward but didn't, left a tiny bat-pad gap for the ball to sneak through. Full on off stump, came in slightly to peg the off stump back. Sensational beginning to the game. Nevill b Finn 2(15)

Finn to Nevill, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

8.3 - Broad to Johnson, no run, angled in and not far from off stump but Johnson shoulders arms trusting the bounce on the wicket, it goes over off stump

7.3 - Finn to Nevill, no run, full on the stumps, Nevill offers a dead-bat to mid-on

7.2 - Finn to Nevill, no run, nice shape away for Finn, swinging away, but Nevill sees it well and then shoulders arms

7.1 - Finn to Nevill, no run, Finn begins with an outswinger, that is outside off, left alone

Steven Finn, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

6.5 - Broad to Johnson, no run, full and outside off, left alone

6.4 - Broad to Johnson, no run, targetting off stump, Johnson defends with soft hands back down the wicket

Shades of Cape Town 2011 when Australia were 21/9 and then were bowled out for 47. Lots of glum faces in the Aussie dressing room. One just saw Boof Lehmann go in

6.3 - Broad to Johnson, no run, well wide of off, easy leave

Five slips in as Broad continues round the wicket to Johnson

6.2 - Broad to Johnson, no run, angled in and then holds its line a shade outside off, Johnson shoulders arms

Mitchell Johnson, left handed bat, comes to the crease

6.1 - Broad to Clarke, out Caught by Cook!! Poor from Clarke and Broad gets five. Will confirm whether this is the joint quickest fifer in Tests. Full and well wide of off, Clarke went for a big drive and got an edge, good catch by Cook as he leapt and took it with both hands. The ball was travelling and he clasped it above his head, keeping his eyes on the ball till the last moment. Must say dreadful batting from Clarke though. Clarke c Cook b Broad 10(15) [4s-2]

Another man goes into the slip cordon. Make that five slips now

5.4 - Mark Wood to Nevill, no run, angled in on the stumps, Nevill is back and across to defend towards mid-wicket

A leg-slip in for Nevill

5.4 - Mark Wood to Clarke, no ball, 1 run, short of length on the stumps, Clarke turns it towards the vacant mid-on region. Also Mark Wood has overstepped

Broad is moved closer to the crowd near the fence and he gets a warm reception

5.3 - Mark Wood to Clarke, no run, Mark Wood readjusts his line and length, hits a back of a length outside off, in the corridor of uncertainty, left alone

5.2 - Mark Wood to Clarke, FOUR, nice shot. This short delivery was rising around chest-height and Clarke swivelled on the pull and got it over square leg which is vacant. More of the splice of the bat but that will do

5.1 - Mark Wood to Clarke, no run, back of a length outside off, Clarke punches to cover off the back foot

Phew what an insane, mad start. I'm at a loss to explain everything going out there. The action is so breathtakingly fast that my fingers are struggling to keep up pace

4.6 - Broad to Nevill, no run, wasted delivery, down leg

4.5 - Broad to Nevill, no run, that was a brave leave! Nevill left it on length but nipped back in sharply and wasn't far away from hitting off. Seam movement and lots of them for Broad

Jimmy is in the ground and watches with a wry smile on his face. I'm sure he would've loved to bowl on this. Wonder what the score would be with Jimmy around?

4.4 - Broad to Nevill, no run, angled in and Nevill softly tucks it to short leg

Five slips and a short leg in

4.3 - Broad to Nevill, leg byes, 2 runs, sliding down leg, Nevill misses the flick and it takes some pad on the way to fine leg. A couple of leg byes taken

4.2 - Broad to Nevill, no run, yorker length outside off, Nevill keeps it out

Peter Nevill, right handed bat, comes to the crease

4.1 - Broad to Voges, out Caught by Stokes!! Unbelievable from Stokes. Brilliant cricket from Broad and England. Pitched up outside off, late away movement draws a loose drive from Voges, the thick outside edge was going fast and behind fifth slip but Stokes went full-length to his right and stuck out his right mitt, it stuck and then begin the celebrations. The England players all surround Stokes. Now Broad and Finn want to catch a replay on the big screen. This is special, special cricket from England. Voges c Stokes b Broad 1(4)

3.5 - Mark Wood to Voges, 1 run, full and angling down, flicked to deep backward square leg, Voges is off the mark with that single

3.4 - Mark Wood to Clarke, 1 run, so close! A sharp short delivery and Clarke is in all sorts of strife. Just flaps at that ball and luckily it didn't carry to Finn at fine leg. The tall man was running in to catch that but it landed in front of him. Had Clarke timed that properly it would've carried to the fielder

3.3 - Mark Wood to Clarke, no run, back of a length on the stumps, Clarke gets right behind the line to block it down the wicket

Hawk-Eye shows it was umpire's call for lbw there

2.5 - Broad to Voges, leg byes, FOUR, that was close as well. Not far from the stumps and also looked like a decent shout for lbw, Broad knows Voges from his days together at Notts, the Aussie has a tendency to shuffle across his stumps early on and Broad wanted to work on that. Bowled it full and on the pads, Voges shuffled across and missed the clip to leg, ran off the pads and past the diving Buttler. Broad was interested for an lbw appeal but didn't get support from the others

Adam Voges, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Four slips, a gully and a short leg in

2.4 - Broad to S Marsh, out Caught by Bell!! Broad is on fire and the Ashes seem to be quickly slipping away from Australia's grasp. Full outside off, Marsh went with hard hands at that and the edge carried to Bell at 2nd slip, he pouched it above his head with two hands. All of a sudden the two out-of-form batsmen - Voges and Clarke are in the middle. S Marsh c Bell b Broad 0(4)

Broad to S Marsh, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

2.3 - Broad to S Marsh, no run, angled in from round the wicket, Marsh shuffles across a tad and works it to mid-wicket

2.2 - Broad to S Marsh, no run, nips back in sharply and takes the inside edge onto thigh pad, the ball would've carried to a short leg but there is none there and it rolls to mid-wicket. Broad looks at Cook asking for a short leg but the England captain just shrugs off that idea for the moment

2.1 - Broad to S Marsh, no run, full outside off from round the wicket, Marsh shoulders arms

Sorry for the technical issues that cropped up during the first couple of overs. Apologies to everyone for the lack of updates during that time. It is now thankfully fixed and we are ready to go again

1.5 - Mark Wood to Clarke, no ball, Mark Wood oversteps as Clarke plays inside the line and lets it go

1.4 - Mark Wood to Clarke, FOUR, so nearly another one. Full outside off, Clarke's feet doesn't move and the drive produces a thick inside edge goes periliously close and wide of the stumps. Buttler was wrong-footed and didn't have a chance

1.3 - Mark Wood to Clarke, no run, five slips in place for Mark Wood as he charges in, outside off, left alone

Michael Clarke, right handed bat, comes to the crease

1.2 - Mark Wood to Warner, out Caught by Buttler!! Now Mark Wood strikes. This is insane cricket. It is 10/3 and Australia are in dire straits. This delivery nipped back in sharply off the seam and took the inside edge of Warner as he tried to defend off the back foot. Pace did Warner there, he was late in getting his bat down to defend and that caused the inside snick. Warner too goes for a duck. Even England wouldn't have dreamt of such a start. Warner c Buttler b Mark Wood 0(2)

Mark Wood to Warner, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

0.6 - Broad to Smith, out Caught by Root!! Broad strikes again. Two wickets in the opening over. That is some start. Broad squares Smith up and the outside edge carried to Root at third slip. Smith played at a ball that was well outside off, he shuffled across to defend and that's why he played at a ball that he shouldn't have. It was on a back of a length and the slight seam movement opened Smith up. Root does a double fist pump after taking the catch. Dream beginning for England. Smith c Root b Broad 6(3) [4s-1]

Broad to Smith, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

0.5 - Broad to Smith, FOUR, nice stroke by Smith. Saw the full one outside off and leant forward to play a square drive, opened the face on the shot to get it wide of point and it raced away to the fence. That should be a confidence-booster for him

0.4 - Broad to Smith, 2 runs, full and outside off, Smith looks to drive that through cover, but gets a thick inside half wide of mid-on. Finn took a tumble and had to get up and chase it. Smith off the mark with a couple

Four slips in place for Broad now against Smith

Steven Smith, right handed bat, comes to the crease

0.3 - Broad to Chris Rogers, out Caught by Cook!! What a way to get your 300th Test wicket. Chris Rogers gets his first duck in Tests. Two moments that the statisticians will salivate on. Superb delivery, angled in on a fuller length and then slightly seamed away, pitched around off, opened up Chris Rogers and the outside edge was safely held by Cook at first slip. Good low catch too. The crowd appreciate Broad's achievement. Chris Rogers c Cook b Broad 0(3)

Broad to Chris Rogers, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

0.2 - Broad to Chris Rogers, leg byes, FOUR, sliding down leg, with the angle from round the wicket taking it further down, it tickles the thigh pad and races away, just needed a touch and Chris Rogers missed the flick

0.1 - Broad to Chris Rogers, no run, back of a length outside off, bit of extra bounce on offer, Chris Rogers hops a little and pushes it to cover

Chris Rogers and Warner are at the crease. Chris Rogers is on strike. Broad will open the attack

Broad is coming round the wicket like he did in the first innings to Rogers. Four slips and a gully in place

With a heavy cloud cover in place, expect Broad and Co. to replicate yesterday's performance. Can Australia survive the day? Broad meanwhile is bowling a few warm-up deliveries. A tricky 2-3 overs before lunch for the Aussie openers. Warner and Rogers walk out. Loud cheers echo around TB as the announcer calls out Broad's name.

England have a lead of 331 and must say it is a fine declaration by Cook. The conditions are overcast - helpful for swing and seam bowling and he wants to bowl at Australia. Australia and Starc in particular used the conditions well to their advantage to take 6 wickets today. Starc bowled unchanged this morning in a 10-over spell and took a six-fer. He swung the ball late and dismissed a couple of them with pearlers. Moeen Ali and Broad threw their bats around and that stretched the lead to over 300

Hoho! Cook calls his batsmen in. That is a surprise. Cook has seen enough and wants a couple of overs in before lunch. Warner and Rogers run off. They didn't expect the declaration. Cook wasn't even in his whites when he called them in. Totally out of the blue. The heavy roller is on now. Clarke pats Starc and the big tall lad leads the side off the field

85.2 - Johnson to Broad, no run, shaping away outside off, Broad wafts and misses. He was moving away from the line of the ball there. Miles away from the ball

85.1 - Johnson to Broad, no run, how did that miss off? Completely did Broad in. Slower one from Johnson, it is an offie, Broad is expecting something else, is slow to come forward and the ball misses the off stump not by much, Johnson has a smile

Over: 85	0 1 0 0 0 0	ENG 391/9
Finn 0(8)	Broad 24(27)	Starc 27-2-111-6

84.6 - Starc to Finn, no run, full and inswinging, but not enough to come back and hit off, so left alone

84.5 - Starc to Finn, no run, went for the inswinging yorker, missed it and a good take by Nevill diving to his left

84.4 - Starc to Finn, no run, wild hack from Finn. Tries to swing across the line to a full delivery outside off, doesn't contact. Starc has a wry smile on his face

Three slips, a short leg and a gully in

84.3 - Starc to Finn, no run, swinging in, rising through to the keeper after Finn shoulders arms

84.2 - Starc to Broad, 1 run, good length on the stumps, Broad is hopping back to defend, the thick outside edge runs down to third man

84.1 - Starc to Broad, no run, yorker length outside off, toe-ended to cover-point

Over: 84	4 W 0 0 0 0	ENG 390/9
Finn 0(4)	Broad 23(25)	Johnson 21-2-102-1

83.6 - Johnson to Finn, no run, dug in short on the stumps, Finn didn't know much about, hopped and fended it down, kept it away from the close-in fielders

83.5 - Johnson to Finn, no run, that looks a more comfortable leave, still outside off, but not far from off either, Finn shoulders arms once more

83.4 - Johnson to Finn, no run, close to the off stump! Finn shoulders arms to one that is angled in and the ball flies over off stump. Not sure Finn knew much about it. He just left it hoping it doesn't crash into off stump

83.3 - Johnson to Finn, no run, sliding into the pads, Finn is late on it and the ball hits the pad and runs away behind square, where there is a leg gully

Steven Finn, right handed bat, comes to the crease

83.2 - Johnson to Moeen Ali, out Caught by Smith!! Super catch. That is reminiscent of Strauss' take in 2005 in the slips to dismiss Gilly. On a short of length and outside off, holds its line, Moeen Ali in trying to defend gets a thick outside edge, it was going wide of Smith at 2nd slip, but he dived and grabbed it with his left-hand, somehow it got stuck at the edge of his palm. He went full-length to catch that. Doesn't celebrate much. He is relieved that he caught it. Replays show that he was airborne when caught it. Moeen Ali c Smith b Johnson 38(24) [4s-7 6s-1]

Johnson to Moeen Ali, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

83.1 - Johnson to Moeen Ali, FOUR, more width and England continue to throw their bats around. Full and wide outside off, Moeen Ali went hard on the lofted drive, a thick outside edge runs away over the gully region, the crowd get into their act once more

Mitchell Johnson [20.0-2-98-0] is back into the attack

Over: 83	2 0 0 4 1 0	ENG 386/8

82.6 - Starc to Broad, no run, full outside off, Broad swings and misses, wanted to slice that hard but the ball went under the bat

82.5 - Starc to Moeen Ali, 1 run, short of length outside off, Moeen Ali dabs it down to third man

82.4 - Starc to Moeen Ali, FOUR, a miscue but over short cover-point. Starc shakes his head. It was full and Moeen Ali wanted to go over cover, the bat face turned on impact and that meant it skewed off the thick outer half, raced away beating the chasing fielder, the 50-run stand is up in no time

82.3 - Starc to Moeen Ali, no run, back of a length outside off, left alone

82.2 - Starc to Moeen Ali, no run, full on the stumps, Moeen Ali's bottom hand comes into play as he drags the drive to mid-on

82.1 - Starc to Moeen Ali, 2 runs, short of length down leg, flicked to deep backward square leg for a couple

Over: 82	Wd 4 4 1 4 6 0	ENG 379/8
Broad 23(24)	Moeen Ali 27(17)	Hazlewood 24-4-97-2

81.6 - Hazlewood to Broad, no run, in frustration Hazlewood fires it well outside off, Broad swings and misses, almost another wide

81.5 - Hazlewood to Broad, SIX, Hazlewood continues to be poor. And expensive. Short outside off, with no real pace, Broad fetched it from there and pulled it to the deep square leg fence, got a good connection and middled it well. 20 off the over and a delivery still left

81.4 - Hazlewood to Broad, FOUR, Broad uses the long handle to good effect. Cleared his front leg and then went over mid-off, it was full and that allowed Broad to play the lofted stroke

81.3 - Hazlewood to Moeen Ali, 1 run, Moeen Ali missed out there, short and wide outside off, went too hard on the cut and bottom-edged it to backward point. Takes the single though

81.2 - Hazlewood to Moeen Ali, FOUR, another punchy drive, wide of mid-on, Moeen Ali driving on the rise, with a closed face and getting enough bat on it to beat the fielder. Consecutive fours for Moeen Ali

81.1 - Hazlewood to Moeen Ali, FOUR, beautiful drive straight down the ground, Hazlewood gets it to shape back in from a fuller length on the stumps, Moeen Ali shows the full face of the bat and then punches it past the bowler, missed the stumps at the other end and raced away

81.1 - Hazlewood to Moeen Ali, wide, horrid delivery, way outside off and the lead is now 300 with that extra. Crowd cheer

Josh Hazlewood [23.0-4-77-2] is back into the attack

Over: 81	0 0 4 0 0 2	ENG 359/8
Broad 13(21)	Moeen Ali 18(14)	Starc 25-2-103-6

80.6 - Starc to Broad, 2 runs, full and down leg, clipped to deep backward square leg, for a couple of runs

80.5 - Starc to Broad, no run, wild slash at a delivery that shaped away from outside off, predictably Broad didn't connect

80.4 - Starc to Broad, no run, banged in on a short of length on the stumps, Broad goes back deep in his crease and defends to cover

Starc now takes the new ball

80.3 - Starc to Broad, FOUR, shot. Fantastic shot. Broad drives it on the rise after getting forward, Starc went full and Broad leant on the shot. Wide of cover

80.2 - Starc to Broad, no run, loose from Broad. Full and shaping away outside off, Broad drives and misses. No feet there

Still the new ball hasn't been taken. Continuing with the old one

80.1 - Starc to Broad, no run, yorker length outside off, Broad digs it out to point

Over: 80	2 0 0 0 1 6	ENG 353/8
Moeen Ali 18(14)	Broad 7(15)	Lyon 10-1-47-0

79.6 - Lyon to Moeen Ali, SIX, Moeen Ali takes on Lyon and gets six. It was tossed up on the stumps, Moeen Ali gives the bowler the charge and lofts him straight back, clean hit and that went sailing away over the fence. The key was Moeen Ali getting to the pitch and a clean extension of the arms gave it the power needed

79.5 - Lyon to Broad, 1 run, flat and down leg, Broad tucks it to fine leg

79.4 - Lyon to Broad, no run, Broad stretches forward to defend to cover

79.3 - Lyon to Broad, no run, close, real close. Broad knelt down to paddle sweep and missed, was struck low on the pad and since the impact was umpire's call he survived. The ball was hitting the off stump

A tactical review for lbw. Not given out. Clarke went for it because after this over the reviews will be reset. So why not take it. No bat with both HotSpot and RTS. Has Broad got outside the line? Impact is umpire's call and Broad will stay

79.2 - Lyon to Broad, no run, quicker and on the stumps, Broad gets forward to defend, gets a thick inside edge onto pad

79.1 - Lyon to Broad, 2 runs, full on the stumps, defended wide of short leg and Broad realises there is a chance for two, short leg chases the ball but can't prevent the two

Nathan Lyon [9.0-1-38-0] is back into the attack

78.6 - Starc to Moeen Ali, no run, looks for an ambitious drive and gets beaten. Starc going full and outside off, swinging away, Moeen Ali went for a big cover drive and got beaten

78.5 - Starc to Moeen Ali, FOUR, now Moeen Ali gets four over square leg. Starc went full and on the pads, it didn't swing in that much and Moeen Ali used the angle to put it away, beating the fielder at long leg with ease

78.4 - Starc to Moeen Ali, FOUR, superb cover drive on a bent knee. It was overpitched outside off, Starc looking for swing and overcompensating, Moeen Ali bent his back knee and then crunched it through cover. Raced away

78.3 - Starc to Moeen Ali, no run, Starc drags the length back a bit, Moeen Ali pushes it back to the bowler

78.2 - Starc to Moeen Ali, no run, outswinger outside off, left alone

78.1 - Starc to Broad, 1 run, pitched up outside off, Broad gets forward and drives wide of cover for a single

Time for a drink. Australia have rode on Starc's display with the ball to take 4 wickets in that hour. The ball is swinging despite being it 78 overs old and that's not good news for the Aussies. Starc got his mojo back and swung it to dismiss the batsmen. In the process he has taken six wickets. With the conditions remaining conducive for swing and seam bowling, it won't be easy when the Aussies come out to bat

Over: 77	0 0 0 0 0 1	ENG 334/8

76.6 - Starc to Broad, 1 run, yorker length and swinging in, Broad digs it out to cover, Moeen Ali had to be quick and did so, diving to get in, would've been in anyway as the throw missed but put in the dive just to make it doubly sure

We have seen Starc do this effortlessly with the white ball in ODIs, now here in this innings, we have seen him do it with the red cherry. This is the best that he has bowled on this tour. He got wickets at Cardiff but the late swing with control which makes him the devastating bowler that he is, is only on display here. He has been brilliant especially today

76.5 - Starc to Broad, no run, down leg, Broad flicks and misses

76.4 - Starc to Broad, no run, Broad is expecting the inswinger, the feet are rooted to the crease, but the ball moves away and beats him comprehensively, he left his bat hanging but the ball missed it

Stuart Broad, left handed bat, comes to the crease

75.5 - Hazlewood to Stokes, out Caught by Nevill!! A leg-side strangle and Stokes walks. Aleem Dar has his finger up in a flash. That is a very soft dismissal. Full down leg, Stokes glanced it straight to Nevill down the leg-side. HotSpot shows a clear deflection. Also the ball brushed the pad after taking the bat on the way to the keeper. The fightback from the Aussies continues. Stokes c Nevill b Hazlewood 5(10) [4s-1]

Hazlewood to Stokes, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

75.4 - Hazlewood to Stokes, no run, a closed bat face and the leading edge doesn't go back in the air, full down leg, Stokes tried to flick, was a bit early on the shot and the leading edge dribbled to Hazlewood's right

74.4 - Starc to Moeen Ali, no run, full and swinging in late, Moeen Ali jams it out to mid-wicket, watched it till the last moment and ensured he didn't get the front pad across

74.3 - Starc to Moeen Ali, byes, FOUR, Starc goes for an inswinger first ball to Moeen Ali, it slips down leg, beating Nevill's dive to his right, perhaps Starc wanted to go for the inswinging yorker first ball to Moeen Ali and missed it. Nevill tried his best but the ball beat him

Moeen Ali, left handed bat, comes to the crease

74.2 - Starc to Buttler, out Bowled!! Another stump goes flying. Six now for Starc. Late swing beating the big drive of Buttler. He left a big gap between bat and pad, the ball was pitched up around off, swung in and missed the inside edge to knock back Buttler's off stump. This is quality bowling from Starc. Also must be said not a percentage shot from Buttler against the moving ball. Buttler b Starc 12(11) [4s-3]

73.5 - Hazlewood to Buttler, FOUR, another driven boundary. This time the bottom hand takes over, a closed bat face and the ball runs away beating Johnson's chase from mid-on. Hazlewood went full again and paid the penalty. Buttler has started off well

73.4 - Hazlewood to Buttler, FOUR, Buttler gets his second boundary with a drive wide of the catching short cover, opened the bat face and got it wide of the man close-in. It wasn't in the air for long too

Starc did a McGrath there as he showed the ball to the crowd after taking the fifth wicket

72.3 - Starc to Buttler, no run, beautiful bowling. Full outside off, with the angle across, Buttler was trying to drive on the rise and wasn't far from nicking it

Jos Buttler, right handed bat, comes to the crease

72.1 - Starc to Mark Wood, out Bowled!! Fifer for Starc. Bang on leg stump and it is uprooted. Starc went for the inswinging yorker on the toes of Mark Wood, Mark Wood got his toes out of the way and tried to jam the bat down but the ball was too quick and too good for him. The stump takes a beating and that's a deserved five-wicket haul for the left-armer. Mark Wood played well but that was a very fine delivery. Mark Wood b Starc 28(32) [4s-5]

71.1 - Johnson to Mark Wood, FOUR, edged and over the flying Steven Smith at second slip. Didn't even get a fingertip on it. He went airborne full-length to his right to snaffle a miracle catch but the ball was travelling and despite his best efforts it wasn't good enough. Full outside off, Mark Wood edged the drive and got lucky

Ben Stokes, left handed bat, comes to the crease

70.3 - Starc to Root, out Caught by Nevill!! End of Root. The crowd give him a standing ovation. Chants of "Roootttt" do the rounds. A carbon copy of the first ball of the over, just that Root edged the drive. A faint nick but that was enough and reward for Starc for pitching it up and working the angle across in his favor.

Day 2 is nearly upon us. It will take something of 2001 Kolkatan proportions for the Aussies to save the Ashes here at TB. It is overcast and cloudy much like the start of yesterday. England thrived on those conditions. Can Australia do the same and bowl England out, thereby limiting the lead to 300? Mind you, the centurion Root is still there and that means Australia will have to work that extra hard to get the remaining six wickets

So is there another twist in the tale? Can Australia show the virtues of courage, brilliance, commitment and skill, and essay a comeback? Or will Joe Root continue to inflict further misery by stretching the lead beyond Australia's reach? In short, today is the day when Australia have to strive every ounce of their energy to stay in the Ashes series.

"He now has experience, which is invaluable at this level, and as someone who is fit and strong he can motor through the 300s. Broad would have relished stepping up with no Anderson and he was absolutely brilliant England were sensational, but he was the leader."

"Broad has had a few niggling injuries throughout his career but his action has remained the same since he was a gangly youngster at Leicestershire," Lloyd told Sky Sports.

David Lloyd on his part believes that Broad can follow in James Anderson's footsteps by reaching the 400-wicket mark in Tests.

Jonathan Agnew in his column for the BBC showered praises on Broad for his believe-it-or-not spell of 8 for 15. "Stuart Broad produced a spell of bowling that we will still be talking about in 50 years to sink Australia to their knees and put England on the brink of regaining the Ashes."

"Now the challenge is to build a real legacy and go down as our greatest team. They are a young side with even the senior players having a few more years left in them so the chance is there to become a golden generation."

Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Michael Vaughan was full of praise for England's spellbinding performance. He said the current line-up have it in them to touch great heights. "This is an England team of huge promise who have achieved success far quicker than I ever expected."

"Australian cricket faces a mass cleanout. This is as bad as it gets, in the only series Australians genuinely care about," Horne added.

Sydney Daily Telegraph's Ben Horne believed not only were the visitors pummelled, but as Ian Botham said, "an Under-19 team on the village green".

"Eight wickets for Broad, who took his 300th in Test cricket in the first over and proceeded to make a head-start on 400. All eight were caught by slips, of which there were up to six at a time, jostling for a look and a piece of the action."

He said, "The details of Australia's so-called first innings need occupy no more space than it did time. All out 60. Sixty! It's not even much of a footy score. Top score, extras, bless them."

Greg Baum, penning his views for The Age, started with the headline: "Rampant England deliver Australia's blackest day."

'Where was the art of hanging in there, getting an ugly score, fighting, not giving your wicket away? It was too easy. England were superb from the moment they won the toss and forced the errors, but Australia could have been more defensive and had better technique. They looked shocked and had no real plan.'

McGrath's partner-in-crime for a long time, Shane Warne was critical of the way the Australian batsmen approached while playing on a seaming deck. "Australia have all sort of problems,' said the legendary leg-spinner to Sky Sports.

"They have to try and turn it around now. Technically, they have the wait for the ball to come a bit more. They went a little hard at the ball and you can't afford to do it on wickets like this. If you go too hard at the ball you're going to start nicking them and that's what Australia did," he was quoted as saying by Cricket Australia's Website.

Glenn McGrath lamented about the tourists playing with faulty techniques. "To get blasted out for 60, it doesn't help the confidence and especially with the state of the series with a few guys struggling for runs."

Jesse Hogan in The Sydney Morning Herald wrote about how poor Australia were with the bat. He said, "The effect of the visitors' capitulation in 18.3 overs, the shortest first innings of a Test in history, for 60 was compounded by the response of England. Their score of 4-274 was a truer reflection of the pitch in Nottingham than what had been produced earlier by the Australians, whose top-scorer was, humiliatingly, extras with 14."

Before the action begins, let us look to what the media had to say...

To put the icing on the cake for the home team, Joe Root compiled his 8th Test century and they already have a lead of over 200. Hello and a warm welcome to our coverage of the 2nd day's play. For a moment, jog your memory back to the 1989 Ashes Test at Trent Bridge. Geoff Marsh and Mark Taylor composed centuries to pilot the visitors to 301 for 0 at the end of day 1. Nearly 26 years later, the current Australian line-up was cleaned up for a mere 60 in 18.3 overs! Contrasting fortunes of two Australian sides indeed. In fact, it is a day that Clarke would like to forget as some bad dream.

Day 2: On day 1 of the fourth Ashes Test, Stuart Broad, in relentless pursuit of achieving success, explored the limits of his own skills to put the hosts in command. He pitched it up a touch further untiringly and moved the ball both ways in the air and off the seam to return astonishing figures of 8 for 15. The Australian batsmen pushed at the ball, got squared up and even threw kitchen sink at it in desperation, before succumbing to the unremitting control of Broad. The spectacle of Broad clasping the hearts of the batsmen with movement made for great viewing. Broad, during his memorable spell, became the fifth English cricketer to snare 300 Test wickets. By taking his first five wickets within a space of 19 deliveries, Broad now holds the record for being the joint fastest to take a five-wicket haul in Tests.

The reality is that the Ashes are almost gone bar a miracle. Can England end the game on day 2? Highly unlikely. But we saw that one can't take anything for granted on day 1. It has been an insane day of Test match cricket and we will be in nice and early on day 2. Hope you've enjoyed our coverage of day 1. Do join us tomorrow. Until then it is goodbye from us here. Remember to sleep tight! Adios!

The lead is 214 and we are just at the end of day 1. Unbelievable really! That's the beauty of cricket - the unpredictability of it continues to amaze us. Australia have had a shocker and if they had a wish to exercise at the end of the day, they would be hoping it was all a bad dream and would want to start all over again. Unfortunately for them that is just not reality.

Root showed the Aussies how to bat on this wicket displaying good technique, measured judgement and picked off the loose balls. Mind you the conditions were in his favor but you still have to make it count and he did just that. Showed that if one rides through the rough period, there were runs to be taken. Bairstow looked vulnerable to the short one early on but progressed serenely after that. Just when one thought that the duo will see it through to stumps, Bairstow flicked one straight to mid-wicket.

After tea it was Root and Bairstow - two Yorkshiremen who feasted on a tired looking Aussie attack. As the sun shone, the shoulders of the Aussies flagged. Both Hazlewood and Johnson were expensive with only Starc looking like producing a wicket. Root and Bairstow reached their respective milestones with the former continuing his golden run.

60 all-out in 94 minutes with 14 extras being the top-scorer sums up the sorry plight of the Aussie innings. The entire innings was over in a flash. Just as Broad took the last wicket, the sun came out and the conditions changed. Batting became easier and even though Starc took out Lyth and Bell, Cook and Root built a solid stand. Just before tea Starc came back to dismiss Cook.

Two wickets fell in the opening over and that set the tone. Edges went to hand and England caught everything that came their way with Stokes' one-handed horizontal take the highlight of the lot. Broad did nothing out of the ordinary, kept bowling in the right areas using the movement to get the batsmen out. The Aussie batters save for Warner and Nevill were like cats on a hot tin roof unable to withstand the seam and swing on offer. Clarke played a horrendous shot to get out and when the captain surrenders like that, shows that the team aren't up for the fight.

Catastrophic day for Australia. If anyone had said that David Warner would be bowling in the final session of the day, he would've been termed a lunatic and asked what he had for the day. Perfect bowling conditions when England won the toss and bowled first. Broad bowled the spell of his life as he snared 8/15 - perfectly revelling in the role of the lead bowler in the absence of Anderson. Anderson was there but not on the field as he watched the carnage from the dressing room with a wry smile on his face

It has certainly been a great day for the hosts. They have taken a vice-like grip on the proceedings. The pacers generated swing and got the ball to seam to snare the wickets. In particular, Broad bowled a dream spell and snaffled 8 wickets for a mere 15 runs! Joe Root, the man in form then essayed his 8th century as Australia found themselves in deep trouble

Welcome back! Tea would have tasted fairly better for the Australians given the horrendous first session they had. For England, it's time for the Yorkshire boys to keep the good work going. Ideal time for Bairstow to prove his worth. Starc has the ball, he has three slips and a gully in place

For Australia, other than Starc, rest of the bowlers struggled to make an impact. In particular, Mitchell Johnson struggled for control. Australia also didn't help their cause by dropping Cook. Steven Smith was the fielder, who spilled the catch. The visitors need to keep picking up wickets to have any hopes of coming back into the game.

Despite Mitchell Starc taking three wickets in the second session, England found themselves in the ascendancy. Starc bowled full and swung the new ball late to produce the wickets of Adam Lyth, Ian Bell and Alastair Cook. However, with Joe Root still at the crease, and as they are already in the lead, England will be pleased with their position. In fact, both Alastair Cook and Joe Root showed the way to other batsmen on how to play on this deck by mixing caution with aggression. Just in the nick of time though, Starc took the key wicket of Cook.

That will be tea on day 1.

20.1 - Hazlewood to Root, FOUR, wow! Lovely shot from Root and the crowd goes "Rooooottttt." Full and swinging away outside off stump, a lot of width on offer on that occasion and Root didn't miss out. Leans nicely forward and plays a cover-drive all along the ground

19.5 - Starc to Cook, no run, shortish and just outside off stump, Cook goes for the pull, mid-on is very square and it goes straight to him

19.3 - Starc to Cook, no run, full and swinging away, asking Cook to drive but left alone

17.5 - Starc to Root, no run, Starc goes for the inswinging toe-crusher, but Root just manages to dig it out, the ball goes all the way towards long leg but poor calling meant they couldn't even cross over.

17.4 - Starc to Root, no run, short of length delivery swining back in, Root turns it towards square leg

17.3 - Starc to Root, no run, plays inside the line and decides to leave at the last moment, not that convincing but effective.

17.2 - Starc to Cook, byes, 1 run, Nevill dives to his right but doesn't manage to make a clean stop, Starc sprays this one down the leg-side

17.1 - Starc to Cook, no run, oh almost the outside edge! Cook wasn't fully forward to this outswinging full ball, just pokes at it away from the body as he tries to defend and it just goes past the bat

Mitchell Johnson [4.0-1-12-0] is back into the attack

Joe Root, right handed bat, comes to the crease

13.4 - Starc to Bell, out Lbw!! That was a jaffa! It could have got any batsman out. Fast, swinging and right in the blockhole. The right word is - toe-crusher. Bell was late to bring his bat down, he couldn't get his front foot out of the way, the ball strikes his front boot before crashing into the back pad. As per HawkEye, it was going on to hit leg-stump. Bell lbw b Starc 1(6)

Starc to Bell, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Bell is reviewing an LBW decision. Third umpire says, "Front foot first please. That is a fair delivery. Spin vision front on? Can you rock and roll that? Leg-side HotSpot please? Can I confirm with RTS? Happy, no bat. Ball-tracking when ready please? Just waiting for HawkEye Aleem. Pitching in-line, impact in-line and hitting the sticks. You can stay with your onfield decision Aleem."

This was a lovely delivery from Starc, kept it on a length in the channel around off, the late away movement catches the outside edge and settles nicely in Nevill's mitts. Lyth pushed at it and that is the reason the outside edge was found. Lyth c Nevill b Starc 14(28) [4s-2]

Starc to Lyth, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Lyth is OUT! The umpires are checking for a no-ball, looks like Starc has some part of his boot behind the line. That should be Australia's first wicket.

11.1 - Starc to Lyth, 2 runs, pitched up around off, Lyth drives it to the left of mid-off, no real timing on that as Warner gives chase and hauls the ball in

Welcome back.. What a first session it was! England and Broad were all over the Aussie batters. Can the Australian bowlers keep the game alive? Or will England strangle their hold on the game? We'll find out soon as the players make their way out to the middle.

This turned out to be Broad's best figures in an innings in Tests. When Broad took his fifth wicket after just 19 deliveries into his spell, he equalled the record of Ernie Toshack for the quickest five-wicket haul. Adam Lyth and Alastair Cook then took England to lunch. Australia need a monumental effort from their bowlers to keep the series alive. It can be said that the Ashes is slipping away from the visitors very quickly.

England put up a splendid performance with the ball to skittle out the visitors for a paltry total. In fact, Australia lasted just 18.3 overs and 94 minutes. Extras turned out to be the top-scorer for them. However, the credit has to go to Stuart Broad, who bowled a dream spell to snare eight wickets for a mere 15 runs. None of Australia's batsmen were able to play Broad with any degree of confidence. Most of them went hard at the ball and were caught in the slip cordon.

The Aussies go in pretty quickly for lunch on day 1. A couple of them might even skip lunch. That's how depressing and "horrific" in Shane Warne's words their session has been. He is mincing no words on air. It hurts being an Aussie supporter and Shane is a big one at that. Anyway read the summary of what transpired on a sensational and unbelieveable first session and do join us for the second one in a bit

2.6 - Starc to Lyth, FOUR, that is the cherry on top of a big cake! As emphatic a session as you'll ever see. The perfect session one could hope for ever. Wide floaty half-volley outside off, Lyth tucks into it as he gets forward and creams the drive through cover. The ball sped to the fence in a flash. Off go the players as Clarke's expression under those dark glasses doesn't change much at all
