England bounce back after Australia's good start in a rain-interrupted day

The stage was set for a cracking start to the pink-ball Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. However, rain played a spoilsport as it delayed the start by 30 mins.

Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. David Warner and Marcus Harris survived some tense moments against the moving new ball. They put on a 50-run stand before England quick Stuart Broad got his bunny Warner yet again to draw first blood.

Marnush Labuschagne and Harris put on a decent partnership before James Anderson got the opener to edge one. Mark Wood forced a nick from Labuschagne to reduce Australia to 117/3.

Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja, who came into the playing XI in place of COVID-19 positive Travis Head, ensured the Aussies ended Day 1 at 126/3.

Australia leads the 5-match Ashes series 3-0.
