It's all going horribly wrong' for England as Starc takes two early wickets

Different day, different Test, different city and different ground. Same chaotic Ashes cricket.

After England were beaten by Australia inside two days in Perth, the second Test began with four overs of pandemonium in Brisbane.

The drama of the day-nighter began at the toss when Australia confirmed the omission of spinner Nathan Lyon – but that was nothing compared to an opening 20 minutes that included two England ducks, a dropped catch and a possible wicket that wasn't.

Australia's Mitchell Starc once again wreaked havoc by removing Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope, Joe Root was dropped off the same bowler and Zak Crawley may have edged behind off Michael Neser, yet the hosts failed to appeal.
