Day One Live: Media Update

Melbourne Age

Fast bowling leader Peter Siddle stood up for Australia with an awesome five-wicket performance as England was bowled out cheaply on day one of the first Ashes Test at Trent Bridge.

Siddle was criticised for his poor lead-up form, but emphatically dismissed doubt over his selection by tearing through England’s top order with figures of 5-50, before the home side were all out for 215 from 59 overs.

Watson, Cowan and Clarke crumble early for Australia under assault from England’s openers, with Stuart Broad off for treatment.

That’s a big wicket but I have to say I feel for the batsman. It looked as though it was going down legside. I know Hawk-Eye said clipping but it didn’t look right, but England are right back in the contest.”
