He leaves the first ball.

Atkinson honing into off-stump.

SHOT! Goes full and Khawaja is onto it, driving past mid-off for four.

Not given out but England waste no time in reviewing and another one falls.

It doesn’t move a whole lot, but enough to get the edgeas Khawaja pushed hard at it.

Stokes to Carey who pulls one off the hip.

Here’s what you’ve missed if you’re still working off that Christmas cheer

A terrific session from England led by Josh Tongue who has 3-24, including the big wickets of Smith and Labuschagne.

Atkinson too bowled a fine spell with good control to remove Head but Brydon Carse was loose to continue a tough tour.

There’s plenty of life in this pitch and the overcast conditions have not made it easy for batting but all four Australian dismissals came from some loose strokes.

Khawaja looked solid at the crease as did Carey but there’s a long way back but with Richardson and Neser Australia have a deep tail.

Atkinson for what should be the last over before lunch.

Carey can’t beat the field with his legside flick.

Oof! Carey is beaten by a beauty that seams away off the angle.

Tongue continues, where about six minutes away from lunch.
