England vs Australia Live Score, 3rd Ashes Test, Day 1

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, Stokes eyes an inswinging yorker, may be. But he fails to land it. The ball reaches the batsman as a full toss and Marnus pushes it through cover-point for a couple of runs.

Ben Stokes to Warner, A confident off drive by Warner but he will get just a single for it. Woakes has made and outstanding diving stop at mid off.

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, Straighter delivery, Marnus drops it with soft hands towards mid-wicket for a quick run.

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, Shortish and on off, Labuschagne pushes at it and misses.

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, Bang on the abdomen! Stokes gets a back of a length ball to jag back into the batsman from around off, Labuschagne decides to leave it alone but fails to take his body away from the line, reason - he thought it may move away after landing. The ball luckily escapes his elbow and strikes him on more fleshier part of the body. Wear arm-guards, screams my fellow commentator.

Play halted! Movement right above the sightscreen. Everyone is waiting for the spectators to settle down. As if we haven't seen enough delays in this Test already.

C Woakes to Warner, Back of a length ball on off, shaping away, David Warner allows it through to make it a maiden over.

C Woakes to Warner, On middle and off, Warner is forced to play this time and he defends it down from the back foot.

C Woakes to Warner, Woakes gets closer to the stumps this time but it's not close enough to bother the batsman. Warner shoulders arms.

C Woakes to Warner, Identical to the last delivery, Warner is very much watchful at the moment and knows where his off stump is. Easily left.

C Woakes to Warner, Watchfully left this time. In the corridor of uncertainty, David has nothing to do with it.

C Woakes to Warner, Shortish delivery outside off, Warner sticks back to have a tentative push inside the line but gets beaten.

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, FOUR! A rare bad ball and Marnus has made sure to get a boundary from it. Stokes lands it on a length around middle, Labuschagne neatly deflects it off his pads to fine leg. 50-run stand comes up! Decent recovery from Australia under testing conditions.

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, Fine delivery. On a good length and outside off, moving away, Labuschagne initially shapes up to push inside the line but then withdraws his bat.

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, Bouncer! The batsman ducks in time to let that one go over him.

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, Straighter in line, worked from the crease to mid-wicket.

Ben Stokes to Warner, Short in length and outside off, there to be hit and Warner flat-bats it towards point. The fielder there dives to make a half-stop and the batsmen cross for one.

Ben Stokes to Warner, Good leave in the end! On a shortish length around middle, moving away from the batsman, Warner decides not to offer any shot and lets it through. Michael Holding (on air) is wondering that why England haven't tried inswingers to Warner so far. Fair point.

Ben Stokes it is then. He will also get good purchase from the surface and it's important from England's point of view that he maintains pressure from his end. Three slips waiting...

C Woakes to Labuschagne, FOUR! MARVELLOUS! Good, confident stroke. Full and outside off, Labuschagne comes forward and drives it straight back past the bowler. Stuart Broad at mid off starts a jog but then gives it up as he sees mid on run after it. Allows him to do the job of bringing the ball back.
