cook for just two. australia‘s paceman pounding in. the verbal bouncers flying. but instead of a collapse, a comeback. not many expected james by pat cummins for 53, before a moment of brilliance in the field from nathan lyon. after his pre—ashes fighting talk, some way to back it up. vince run out for 83 and suddenly the pendulum had veered australia‘s way. joe root surviving an lbw decision, but not for long. the review showed he was out, the skipper gone for 15. before a few morale—boosting blows from moeen ali helped guide england through to the close. for the fans, then, a first day of fluctuating fortunes. england‘s impressive start followed by australia‘s late resurgence. the early signs suggest this could be a competitive series. an absorbing start to the ashes, then, but england know the hard work has only just begun. yes, england will resume on 196—a. they are actually starting play half hour early because of yesterday‘s rain delay. with the game so finely poised, there is a real sense that today‘s first session could be crucial. thanks very much, and andy swiss looking forward to the game tomorrow. newsnight is co
