Australia vs England, 5th Test, Day 1, Sydney
Mason Crane was handed his Test debut at the SCG.
Early morning rain delayed the toss by 2 hours 10 minutes in Sydney.
Joe Root won the toss and elected to bat first despite overcast skies.
Pat Cummins got Australia the first breakthrough, ending Mark Stoneman's knock on a run-a-ball 24.
Vince made a steady 25 before chasing a short and wide delivery to get out caught behind.
Cummins put an end to the 60-run second-wicket stand with the wicket of Vince.
Hazlewood cut short Cook's knock on 39 as Australia reviewed a LBW call.
Cook fell five runs short of completing 12,000 Test runs in the first innings, on Thursday.
Root reached his half-century in 82 deliveries.
Malan too brought up his half-century in the final session, off 146 balls.
Root and Malan added 133 runs for the fourth wicket to revive England's sinking ship.
Root missed out on yet another century, falling for 83 - his personal best in the series nonetheless.
Late wickets of Root and Jonny Bairstow helped Australia wrest control on Day 1 of the Sydney Test.
