In the process, he became the 11th bowler to take at least five wickets before lunch on the opening day of a Test match.

Seeking a victory to clinch the series, England put the Australians in to bat in overcast conditions and had them at 15-4 after 16 balls in 14 minutes, with three batsmen – Chris Rogers, David Warner and recalled Shaun Marsh -- out for ducks.
