Australia vs England, 1st Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Green to Pope, out Lbw!! The partnership has been broken. Green strikes! That is going to give him a big boost. There was a lot of talk about Green and his bowling, but he has delivered in his first over. Very full delivery, close to yorker length, Pope shuffles across and plays all around it, misses the flick and is struck low on the pad. The impact was in front of the stumps and that's why umpire Nitin Menon had his finger up. Pope did review it but ball-tracking came back with umpire's call. A typical Pope knock - looks good, has a start but does not convert it into a big score. Pope lbw b Green 46(58) [4s-4]
