England – live first Test coverage!Any thoughts? Email or tweet @GeoffLemonSport 12.15am GMT
3rd over: Australia 12-0 (Warner 2, Burns 10) Another boundary for Burns, safe enough but not controlled, pushing at Shaheen gently enough that the edge rolls to third man rather than flying through the air. Burns follows up in true opening batsman style by just pressing a run to midwicket. Warner covers his stumps for the rest of the over. 12.13am GMT
2nd over: Australia 6-0 (Warner 1, Burns 5) A busy first over of work for Joe Burns, who isn’t settled. First ball he’s cramped for room against a short ball but flays at it anyway, and under-edges it on the bounce through to Rizwan. Imran Khan is annoyed that the keeper was so far back. Then Burns takes on the next ball with a pull, clobbering it into short leg’s shin pad for a ricochet single. Warner takes his first run with a push to cover, then Burns hits short leg again and is setting off, but a brilliant bit of fielding from Shan Masood under the helmet sees the ball hit him on his right side, then the fielder grabbing the rebound with his left hand as it bounces behind his back. On the spin, Shan backhands at the stumps, and would have run out Burns had he hit. Then Imran bowls Burns a shorter wider one, and Burns carves a boundary. No shortage of shots.
