HOW ENGLAND’S HOPES WERE BLOWN AWAY

1 WOAKES 176-5

A NIGHTMARE start for England as Chris Woakes feathers behind off Josh Hazlewood and the pumped-up Aussies are off to a flyer.

2 ROOT 177-6

THE prize scalp of Joe Root and it’s Hazlewood again who induces another thin edge through to keeper Tim Paine.

3 MOEEN 188-7 4 OVERTON 206-8

THE very first delivery from Mitchell Starc with the second new ball pins Craig Overton plumb lbw for seven. NATHAN LYON has Moeen Ali on toast, picking up the all-rounder’s wicket for the fourth time in four innings as he misses a sweep to fall lbw.

5 BROAD 224-9

STUART BROAD looks a walking wicket and inevitably edges Starc behind for a routine catch.

6 BAIRSTOW 233 ALL OUT

THE ignominy is complete as Jonny Bairstow — who is left stranded with the tail yet again — is bowled by Starc, who picks up a second-innings five-for.
