Done & Dusted: Victory by 9 wickets. Australia go up 1-0

It's not a blemish-free chase as would have been hoped. Robinson gets Carey nicking to deny Australia the bragging rights of a 10-wicket win. But Australia have marched to a 1-0 lead and polished off these 20 runs in 5.1 overs. Such an anti-climax after last evening's England resistance.

Australia have returned to winning ways at the Gabba. It's been a near complete performance for them. It started on the opening day when England folded for 147. Travis Head then used a platform set by Warner and Labuschagne to smash a thrilling century. Australia's bowlers too held up well this morning and didn't buckle under the pressure of the Root-Malan stand yesterday. All in all tons of positives for the hosts.

That brings us to the end of this live blog. Do follow Cricbuzz for all the reaction stories from this game. Until Adelaide, it's goodbye. Ciao!
