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

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]
