England lost all 10 wickets after scoring 147 runs on the first day of the first Ashes Test series. The end came quickly for the visitors after the partnership between Buttler and Pope was broken.

English opener Rory Burns, Ollie Robinson and skipper Joe Root went for zero. Four batters touched the double-figure. Jos Buttler scored the highest, 39 runs.

Pat Cummins led his time from the front, became the eighth Australian skipper to take a fifer. He picked up five wickets. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood received two each. Cameron Green scalped his maiden Test wicket along the way with the wicket of Pope.

The only period of Three Lions resistance followed that early setback as Buttler joined Pope at 60 for 5 and brought the much-needed enterprise to the middle. Pope and Buttler put on 52 for the sixth wicket.
