Live Australia vs England, Ashes 2021-22 live: score and latest updates from third Test, day one in Melbourne

Both Stokes and Bairstow looking to be proactive against Lyon.

David Gower: "once the new ball went, and the sun came out, this looks a flat pitch."

Cameron Green is coming back for another spell. Begins it with a maiden.

Both Bairstow and Stokes look to get after Lyon! YJB slog sweeps him for a hard-run three. And now Ben clatters him into the stands at long-on! Ha! Most fun moment of the day. Not a strong field, for England fans.

Anyway, perhaps drinks will cheer us all up a little bit more.

Bairstow inside-edges Starc, a whisker away from chopping it onto his own stumps. Stokes tucks the ball off his pads for four. Now Stokes bludgeons the ball at a fielder in the covers. First signs of aggression from Ben?

Nathan Lyon returns. Bairstow plays him well, assertive and positive in his defence.  Just one off the over.

Bairsow smears a wide ball over the slips for a chancey two. 

Once you hear it you won't be able to unhear it
