England vs Australia Live Score, Ashes 2019, 4th Test, Day 1

C Overton to Head, The batsman has played that off the front foot and into the ground.

C Overton to Head, FOUR! Wrong line. Overpitched outside leg, Head flicks it through square leg and gets off the mark.

C Overton to Head, Outside off, Head pushes at it but the ball moves away and beats the outside edge.

Into the middle order. Or tail? That is how Australia have batted this series. Barring Smith or Labuschagne, no one has really stood up. Oh wait... someone pokes his head out. It is Travis Head. Yeah... he was there in the first two games when Australia were in trouble...

Overton to M Labuschagne, OUT! BOWLED! A jaffa to break a terrific stand. We felt someone had to do something special to break this partnership and Overton has done it. This is so, so similar to his first Test wicket in Adelaide. That time, it was Smith. This time, it is Labuschagne. Nothing much either batsman could have done on either occasion. A length ball, outside off, Labuschagne looks to defend, thinking he has covered the line but the ball seams back in, goes between bat and pad and hits the top of off stump! End of a terrific knock from Labuschagne. The 116-run stand is broken at last.

C Overton to Labuschagne, Around off, watchfully defended.

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, Around middle and off, clipped through mid-wicket for a run.

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, A hat-trick of leaves now.

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, One more leave outside off.

Ben Stokes to Labuschagne, Outside off, left alone.

Ben Stokes to Smith, Around off, nudged through square leg for a single.

Ben Stokes to Smith, FOUR! HALF CENTURY FOR SMITH NOW! 26th in Tests, 8th in the Ashes. Gets there in bizarre fashion. Full and miles outside off, Smith reaches out, slips and almost dives to get bat to ball. Manages to get it through cover but was there any need to go after that? He could have so easily nicked it behind or handed a catch to cover-point. Remember Ben Stokes' dismissal in the first innings of the previous Test? Anyways, another terrific innings.

A second ago, it was pouring. Now, it has stopped. That is what heavy wind can do. And wind can do this as well. A piece of plastic blows across. Smith halts Stokes. Michael Holding on air says that people are deliberately throwing things onto the ground.

C Overton to Labuschagne, FOUR! Late cut! Risky but well played. A length ball outside off, Labuschagne steers it with an open bat-face and guides it behind gully to third man! The stand moves to 110 now.

C Overton to Labuschagne, Similar ball, same shot, same region, same result.

Rain in the air again. And it is getting heavier. Play carries on though.

C Overton to Labuschagne, Full and around off, flicked towards short mid-wicket.

C Overton to Labuschagne, A good length delivery around off, watchfully blocked out.

C Overton to Labuschagne, Around off, solidly defended to the off side.

Overton to Labuschagne, Another LBW shout. Is it too high? Overton seems to indicate that. A length ball, outside off, Labuschagne looks to defend but misses and is hit on the pads. The bowler initially appeals but umpire Erasmus shakes his head. Overton then indicates to Root that it might be too high. Ball Tracker shows the impact to be umpire's call but the ball would have gone over.
