Fourth Test, day one: Australia 126-3Broad returns to team and removes WarnerEngland enjoyed an encouraging opening day to the fourth Ashes Test in
Sydney when constant rain interruptions limited play. Despite Australia’s batters putting them in control,
England rallied to leave the hosts on 126 for three at stumps as play finished evenly poised.
Rained delayed the start at the Sydney
Cricket Ground but England did see early signs of promise despite losing the toss. Jimmy Anderson’s first ball leapt off a length to surprise David Warner but the
Australian openers repelled what was sent down in a stop-start period as the heavens slowed things, forcing the players off after five overs and again once 13 had been completed.
