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

Doggett to Jofra Archer, no run, again the short delivery on the stumps, Jofra Archer ducks

Doggett to Brydon Carse, out Caught by Labuschagne!! Such a fine catch at deep backward square-leg. Actually Marnus misjudged it, but he hangs on as he leaps at the end to take it two-handed. A short delivery at Brydon Carse who pulls and any other ground it was six, but this is a massive arena, Marnus is well in from the cushions, went quickly and it was flying. Marnus doesn't pick it at first but then shows good judgement as he backtracks to take it. The short ball ploy is doing wonders for Doggett and Australia. Brydon Carse c Labuschagne b Doggett 6(9) [4s-1]

Doggett to Brydon Carse, no run, back of a length and rising outside off, Brydon Carse looks to slash and misses

Doggett to Brydon Carse, no run, smacked on the helmet. Brydon Carse is fine though. Right on the grille.

Head and Doggett check on Carse, who will now undergo a concussion test

Doggett to Jamie Smith, 1 run, Doggett follows Jamie Smith outside the leg-stump, as he makes room, short of length and he mistimes the pull to deep backward square-leg

Doggett to Atkinson, 1 run, short on off, Atkinson goes on the back foot and pulls down to deep mid-wicket

Doggett to Brook, out Caught by Carey!! First Test wicket for Doggett. Dug in short and leg-sidish, Brook was looking to get out of the way, but the ball brushes the top hand glove - the left one, Carey and Smith knew it. Doggett wasn't too keen. Nitin Menon didn't give it and as Australia review, Brook started walking off. RTS shows a clear spike. Brook fails to get away from the line of the ball. The short ball has paid immediate dividends here. Australia break this stand totally against the run of play. Brook c Carey b Doggett 52(61) [4s-5 6s-1]
