Craig Overton to bowl his first over of the 2019 Ashes. Got Steven Smith to face up against. Incidentally, Dhruv tells me that Overton got Smith in Adelaide, cleaning him up. It was his maiden Test wicket.
J Leach to Labuschagne, Beauty! Superb bowling. This is just Day 1, yet he is getting good purchase. Full and outside off, ML leans to block but the ball whizzes past the outside edge. Does not miss off stump by much either.

J Leach to Labuschagne, Ooohhh.. almost superman-like from Ben Stokes! Full and around off, Marnus lunges to flick but the ball spins away and takes the leading edge. Because the batsman is looking to go leg side, Stokes at first slip takes an initial step to his left. But the ball goes to his right and he flings himself but cannot get there. Two runs down to third man. 50-RUN STAND IS UP between these two, in just 70 balls.
