England 66 for 1 at drinks! Aussies unusually passive. Runs to be found down the leg side. Pope's cover drives looking sumptuous. I'll keep everyone posted.

2 down. Pope pinned on the pads for an entertaining 31.

3 down at lunch, Crawley gloving an in-swinger behind. Game finely poised.

Absorbing first day. England declaring on the opening day of an Ashes test, not sure that's ever happened before. I'm unsure of the wisdom of the decision. Tomorrow will show.

The day belongs to Root though. Another glorious century.

Gutted. Declaration was a piss-take. Fair do's Aussies I suppose. Proper piss-take that declaration. Gutted.
