England trail as 20 wickets fall on hectic day

The pitch for the fourth Ashes Test in Melbourne has "done too much" and has resulted in an "unfair" contest between bat and ball, says former England captain Michael Vaughan.

Twenty wickets fell at the MCG on a chaotic opening day of the Boxing Day Test as Australia were bowled out for 152 before England were skittled for 110.

It was the most wickets to fall on the first day of an Ashes Test since 1909, and eclipsed the 19 on the first day of the first Test of this series in Perth.

Analysts CricViz calculated 48% of the deliveries seamed more than 0.75 degrees on day one in Melbourne.
