This came after Crawley and Moeen Ali (54) had put on 121 for the second wicket, following Ben Duckett's early dismissal. (Live Scorecard)

Back for England's reply. The players are out in the middle. Looks like it will be Starc's left arm that will stride in first. Three slips and a gully in place.

...SECOND INNINGS...

For England, Chris Woakes was the star with the ball with a five-fer. The others gave him able support. All the bowlers got a wicket at least and overall, England will be pretty pleased with their effort. Now it is onto their batters, the conditions should favor them and they would want to cash in. Australia on the other hand, will want to make most of the new ball and get a few early wickets or it could be a long day in the field for them. Stay tuned for the reply.

England have wrapped up the Australian innings quite quickly and judging by the conditions overhead and the wicket, they'll be happy with their effort. By no means is 317 a small score but we still feel the Aussies would have wanted a lot more. The problem for them was their batters failed to convert the starts they got off too. Two of them scored fifties, a couple got out in the 40s but they needed someone to go on and make it a big one. They though still have got to a competitive total courtesy of a combined batting effort.

OUT! TAKEN! Chris
