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

Ben Stokes is stretching and loosening up. Maybe, his time has come to bowl.

C Woakes to Labuschagne, Down the leg side, Labuschagne gets across to flick but misses.

C Woakes to Labuschagne, Outside off, on a length, moving away, ML pushes it behind gully for a couple.

C Woakes to Labuschagne, Outside off, on a length, Marnus pushes but misses.

C Woakes to Labuschagne, FIVE WIDES! How on earth? How on earth? How on earth? Unbelievable swing. Woakes cannot believe it. Neither can anyone else. This one is landed outside off, on a length. Labuschagne has no business with it but the ball pitches and then seams a mile. Poor Jonny Bairstow has no way of reaching it as the ball goes past Joe Root at first slip and into the third man fence!

C Woakes to Warner, Full and outside off, David pushes it wide of mid off, initially says, 'WAIT IN!' but then quickly yells, 'YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!' Labuschagne is in two minds whether to run or not and eventually responds. Makes it in time.

C Woakes to Warner, IN THE AIR, FOUR! A lucky escape to start off the final session. A length ball outside off, moving away, Warner pushes at it defensively, not moving his feet and almost guides it straight to the man at.... fifth slip. Luckily for him, there isn't any fifth slip. The ball flies between fourth slip and gully to the third man fence!

Back on! It has brightened up now and the covers are off. The players are done with the Tea break as well and we are good to go now. Chris Woakes to begin proceedings...

... DAY 1, THIRD SESSION ...

Update 1610 local (1510 GMT) - Tea has been taken on Day 1. It has started to rain now as well. Things looking pretty gloomy at the moment. We will try again after 20 minutes. Let's try to be positive and hope for the best.

Update 1558 local (1458 GMT) - The players are off! NOT RAINING! This time it has gone dark. Joe Root and the entire English team ain't looking happy as they trudge off the field. The Australian batsmen are off as soon as they were told to. It's the decision of the umpires. They have taken the reading and that's not conducive for the game to carry on. This reading will be the benchmark for the rest of the days now. Boos from the crowd. It's been that kind of a day. Stay tuned for more updates...

J Archer to Labuschagne, FOUR! This will provide some confidence to Marnus. Archer is too straight with his line, full in length and Labuschagne clips it with nice timing through mid-wicket for a glorious boundary.

J Archer to Labuschagne, Bang on the thigh pad! Back of a length delivery landing close to off, there is a hint of inward shape there as well. Labuschagne decides to leave it only to know later that it has come in to hit him on the thigh pad. Error in judgement surely.

J Archer to Labuschagne, Almost drags it on! Indecision there from Marnus, wanted to play, wanted to leave, wasn't sure what to do! The delivery is just outside off, Labuschagne tries withdrawing his bat at the very last moment but it takes the inside edge and strikes him on the pads.

J Archer to Labuschagne, Full in length and on off, Labuschagne defends it right under his watchful eyes.

J Archer to Warner, Fullish and on middle, Warner leans forward and eases it past Broad at mid-wicket. The tall bowler runs with heavy legs and pulls it back near the fence. The batsmen complete two and then take the third run on the throw. 50 UP FOR AUSTRALIA.

J Archer to Warner, Good length ball on off, Warner stays back footed and defends it to the off side.

C Woakes to Labuschagne, Nice line and length, on and around off landing on a fuller length, it's solidly defended off the front foot to covers.

C Woakes to Labuschagne, Delivers it on a length and just outside off, Labuschagne covers his stumps and makes a safe leave.

C Woakes to Warner, Pitches it up and around off, Warner does well to get forward and play at it as late as possible. He bunts it towards mid off and scampers across to the other end.
