0.6 to Z Crawley, driven and edged to first slip! That was coming, you sensed... Crawley felt obliged to break the shackles, to land the first punch, but Starc's canny length was too good for him. A fraction shorter than the first five balls, an inch or two wider too ... Crawley threw his hands through the line, but it skimmed off the splice, straight into Khawaja's midriff, who had to juggle before he clung on, falling backwards! Shades of Strauss in 2010-11... that first-over factor never fails!. 0/1 6.4 to BM Duckett, fired in full, pinged on the pad! It's full, it's quick, and up goes the finger! Duckett immediately reviews, but this looks stone-dead unless he's got some bat on it Thumping leg stump! Maybe Starc can do it alone! The second wicket falls and it's the free-flowing Duckett, blown away by pace and angle!. 33/2 8.5 to JE Root, turned inside-out and snicked off to third slip! Root is gone for a duck, and that's just a wonderful way for Starc to rack up his 100th Ashes wicket! The set-up had been all over long... keeping it on the wide line, then firing it harder into his eyeline, kissing the splice, picking out the safe hands of Labuschagne. 142.8kph. It's a one-man show for Australia, but what a show!. 39/3 24.5 to BA Stokes, incredible bowling from Starc! He's a one-man wrecking ball today! Scrambles the seam, hits a fuller length, two feet closer to the bat, nips it back through the gate to splatter his stumps! Stokes had set himself for a diet of outswingers, and was not remotely ready for the one bending back in. Australia rampant now!. 115/5 30.1 to AAP Atkinson, Starc has five! That's a nothing shot from Atkinson, in the channel outside off, a limp poke and a firm edge to Smith at second slip! He was hanging back, anticipating the short ball, but that was pushed up to the bat, as Australia's senior man takes the plaudits!. 161/7 32.4 to JL Smith, Smith hacks through the line, holes out to deep midwicket! This innings is on autocomplete now... England just want to get bowling, and burgle whatever runs they can get... the other option would be to hang around, but nah... keep swinging, and do better next time... it's a tactic, just not a particularly usual one!. 172/9 32.5 to MA Wood, makes room to leg, has a revolting wipe, huge top-edge to the keeper! Starc finishes with the extraordinary figures of 7 for 58, and England are all out in 32.5 overs! Wood continues the view that this effort is already a write-off... it's over to their bowlers now, and some!. 172/10 0:37 0:35 0:42 | |||||||||||

29.5 to HC Brook, short, down the leg side, is that a feather to the keeper?! It is! Brook is walking off as soon as the review is called for! It was a nothing ball, Brook chased it but barely committed to the pull. The ball kissed off his gloves, into Carey's, and Doggett has his maiden Test wicket! It was just a query of an appeal from the bowler but Carey knew alright! Huge moment!. 160/6 31.5 to BA Carse, hoists across the short ball, picks out backward square! That was well picked up by Carse, but he didn't quite have the elevation. Labuschagne tracked back well and plucked it down above his head. That blow to the helmet no doubt contributed there, as England's slide gathers pace. 168/8 | |||||||||||

19.6 to OJ Pope, given lbw! Very full, straight, Pope looking to work it away and is taken on the boot. Pope reviews but he looks in trouble. Umpire's call on leg stump! Pope is furious, I assume for missing a straight one. 94/4 | |||||||||||

0.2 to J Weatherald, knocked off his feet, huge appeal for lbw! Weatherald ends flat in the crease as a rapid full delivery thunders into the pads and England have called the review. Reckon this pitched outside leg. No, it didn't! Pitches on leg stump, straightens down the leg, smashing into leg stump. A second-ball duck for Weatherald on Test debut. 0/1 14.2 to M Labuschagne, bowled off the under-edge! An absolutely massive moment in this innings. Archer aimed a touch fuller, Labuschagne lined it up and tried to leave, but the extra bounce kicked off the under-side of his blade and into the stumps! Another one that wasn't initially hitting, but it is now! Vital lifeline for England. 28/2 | |||||||||||

15.5 to SPD Smith, turned inside-out and Smith snicks off to second slip! A truly immense moment in a truly immense first day. Not unlike Root's departure this morning, extra lift on a tight line, forcing him to play and finding enough sideways movement for the edge to zip to Brook. The Ashes are truly on now!. 30/3 17.2 to UT Khawaja, sharp bouncer, and Khawaja is blown away! That is a brilliant piece of hostile fast bowling! Wobble seam, hitting the pitch so hard, climbing into the gloves and through to the keeper as the batter snaps his head back! England are in the mood now! Was his hand off the blade on impact? No challenge from the batter.... 31/4 45.2 to NM Lyon, edged, taken at gully! Carse does it. A fuller delivery outside off, lures the drive, a thick edge that gives Duckett a comfortable waist-high catch. 132/10 | |||||||||||

29.1 to TM Head, goodness me, Head has given it away! Round the wicket, short of a length, Head looks to whip it away and just picks out Carse at mid-on. Stokes works his magic. 76/5 31.1 to C Green, edged, taken! Stokes has his second. Full outside off, lures Green into driving away from his body, thin edge which reaches Smith around shin height. 83/6 35.6 to MA Starc, taken at mid-on! Starc's given it away. Full at the stumps, looks to heave it down the ground. Stokes has his third. This day hasn't finished giving yet. 118/7 37.4 to AT Carey, would you believe it?! Carey has ramped this straight to deep third. A short ball from round the wicket, angling in at Carey, he gave himself some room and upper cut over the slips, picking out the fielder on the rope. 121/8 37.6 to SM Boland, edged, has it carried? England celebrated and Stokes has five! Umpires are going to check this. Short of a length around off stump, regulation edge from Boland but it was dying to Brook. But it's cleanly taken.. 121/9 | |||||||||||

0.5 to Z Crawley, what a catch, a stunner from Starc! Crawley bags a pair. Pitches it full, Crawley drives, goes straight back down the pitch, Starc somehow manages to stick his left hand out in his follow through and grab it, despite his body weight moving the opposite way. But the third umpire is checking this. Has the ball been grounded? Looks like the fingers are under it, but third umpire having a number of looks. He rules fingers underneath, clean catch. 0/1 19.2 to JE Root, dragged on! Root goes. England collapsing. Full outside off, he goes for a the drive, takes a thick inside edge into the stumps. 76/5 24.4 to BA Stokes, edged, taken at second slip! Terrific delivery from Starc, he has 10 in the match. Back of a length at off stump, shapes away from the left hander, thick edge goes waist height to Smith. 88/6 | |||||||||||

16.2 to BM Duckett, edged, taken at second slip! Back of a length at off stump, Duckett gets squared up, flies low to Smith who grabs it and celebrates. Duckett stands there. Fingers clearly under it, neatly done by Smith. Excellent delivery from Boland, took the shoulder of the bat. His first wicket of the Test. 65/2 18.3 to OJ Pope, edged, taken! Boland strikes again. Pushed up a little fuller, Pope can't resist a drive and Carey takes it towards first slip. 76/3 18.6 to HC Brook, edged, taken at first slip! Boland's on fire. Full outside off, Brook drives away from his body, flies at chest height to Khawaja who clings on. 76/4 34.4 to AAP Atkinson, hooned down the throat of fine leg! Atkinson doesn't get enough on one last attempt at some tailend tonking, and duly sprints off to strap on his bowling boots. Another extraordinary England knock - this one lasting just 34.4 overs - comes to an end, and at tea on the second day, we have a fourth-innings chase on our hands!. 164/10 | |||||||||||

27.1 to JL Smith, short down leg, Smith pulls at it... and Carey is adamant this is out. Not given by Nitin Menon but Australia quickly review. Now then, there's clearly a sound, just a little smudge on Snicko. But was the ball next to the bat at the time? Doesn't look like it on the side-on replay. Third umpire Saikat is trying to get a zoomed-in view from behind. It appears as if the sound has come after the ball has passed the bat, but it's only a frame or two. Saikat says he is satisfied the spike is from the bat, and Smith will have to walk! Was it conclusive evidence? The England fans in the ground are making their feelings known, clearly furious at that decision. 104/7 33.1 to BA Carse, jumps across, and tickled behind! Carse walks, no doubts about this one. He was looking to flip the ball up and over on the leg side but just got some glove on it through to the keeper. Menon's finger was quickly up, Australia break the stand at a vital juncture. Doggett has another. 154/8 33.5 to JC Archer, flubbed to midwicket, well held by Smith! The short-ball tactic paying out (eventually) for Australia. Archer didn't get hold of it at all, but it nearly fell into no-man's land. Needed a stretching, backpedalling take from Smith, but he does the job. 160/9 | |||||||||||

11.3 to J Weatherald, taken at cover! England have a breakthrough. Shapes to play another pull, was a little to full for the shot, takes a top edge into the helmet and loops into the off side. 75/1 26.5 to TM Head, gone, Head finally holes out to deep midwicket! But he will walk off to a standing ovation at Perth Stadium. The makeshift opener, Redback Trav has raw-dogged England into submission with one of the great Ashes innings. Carse picks up the wicket but it's after the event. 192/2 | |||||||||||
