AUS vs ENG Highlights, Ashes 3rd Test: Alex Carey's emotional century on home turf takes AUS to 326/8 on Day 1

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Alex Carey, on his home ground in Adelaide, also reaches a very solid fifty. Continues to prove his worth, and looks particularly good whenever he has to play against England. He's become a terrific exponent for Australian cricket in recent years.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Shot! Positive stuff from Inglis, gets low and reverse sweeps Jacks to pick up 4 runs.

That takes Australia past 200.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Once again, England throwing punches early, Australia rolling them – but the key difference being the late wicket of Khawaja that Jacks was able to spark. Finely balanced and intriguing portion of the match as we head into the final session.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: There's the wicket with tea approaching! Will Jacks gets a wicket. It's a little shocking how he's gotten it, but it's an excellent catch at deep square leg by Josh Tongue, covering ground and getting low to hold on.

Gone for 82. He has made his case, that's for sure.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: 180/4 after 45 overs. This has become Australia's session, but England will feel they are still in it. A couple of overs to go before the tea break.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: The partnership continues to tick along very nicely. Not allowing England to bury down and take a clumb of wickets together.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Positive batting here to get the score ticking along and to relieve some of the pressure England were buiding.

Khawaja on 49* one day shine of his his 39th birthday…

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Gree, the landscape of this match has changed a lot in no time. Suddenly England tails are up and Stokes is back to trying things – rotating bowlers, setting an umbrella field for Khawaja, shifting things around.

What's happening here! England suddenly roar right back into this contest. It's another catch at midwicket, which is disappointing. It's oitch uo, Green tries to rotate, but it's aerial and to Carse's left. He makes decent ground, puts in a dive, holds on, and the visitors are bounding off the wall.

94/4 out of NOWHERE in the first over of the afternoon.

Do you believe that? First ball after the lunch break, Archer stump bowls it and Marnus Labuschagne guides it straight to the midwicket fielder. That's so soft – just a loose shot that he doesn't really go for and doesn't really defend.

England sitting pretty now.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: First hour belonged to England, second hour to Australia. This partnership is flourishing, Khawaja taking his chance by strolling along to 41* with some attacking cricket leading up to lunch.

England will get to rest their feet for a bit, before throwing their seamers at this stand post-lunch in an effort to break it up. Back soon.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Just a bit of a lull. England not generating too many chances but Tongue and Stokes were keeping it relatively tight. Stokes no turns to Will Jacks for a couple of overs.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: That has to be taken! England have been dominating the session and that should have been three. Tongue draws a genuine edge from Khawaja, and Brook's made that look much togher than it actually was. Very catchable, he's flung himself at it and never been still enough to take it.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Couple of boundaries in this Stokes over just to relax Australia a little bit. First off the thigh pad down to fine leg, then a picture-perfect cover drive that bisects the field.

48/2 after 15.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Good little spell from England thanks to those wickets, means they are the happier team at the end of the first hour. Can they make it count after the drinks break?

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: ANOTHER WICKET! Two in two overs and England are alive! Carse strikes, he's not been great but that won't matter now, he has dismissed Travis Head. Outside off, Head drives but it's somewhat sliced. Very low to Crawley's left at short cover point, and he does so well to stick out a hand and somehow just make it stick.

That's a sensational piece of fielding. The kind of thing England needed going their way early this morning.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Archer does the trick! Fast, sharp, at his front shoulder, cramps up Weatherald. Top edge that loops easily back to Jamie Smith, who completes the formalities for the opening wicket.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Carse getting a beating from the commentators on air for bowling too short and wide and applying no pressure. This has been too easy for the openers, as Weatherald goes over the top of the point region to find four. Another no-ball to follow that up.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Not the best start from Carse, a couple looseners, and also a couple of no-balls. Needs to find his rhythm quickly because this is a really important hour of play in the context of this series.

15/0 after 4.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Shot! Good confidence-inducing shot to get going for Weatherald. Angled in by Carse, and Weatherald leans into it to bet the square leg fielder and find the fence.

7/0 after 2, trying to find some rhythm.

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: The players run out into the Adelaide sunshine, and never has a good start been needed more. Archer has started well regularly, but needs that to translate to wickets. Particularly that of Travis Head, who is the hometown boy and has such a good record at this venue.

On we go!

For England, the calls for an extra frontline spinners in Shoaib Bashir to be used as temperatures increase down under have fallen on deaf ears. Will Jacks remains the choice to carry that burden – will it be enough?

ENG Playing XI: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Will Jacks, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue

Despite leading the series 2-0, it is Australia making three changes – two planned, with Cummins and Lyon in for Doggett and Neser – but one forced, as Smith has to miss out. Khawaja comes back in, and reportedly will bat at four.

AUS Playing XI: Travis Head, Jake Weatherald, Marnus Labuschagne, Usman Khawaja, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wk), Josh Inglis, Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland

Australia vs England 3rd Test Day 1 LIVE Score: Good morning! The Ashes are back, after a couple of weeks in which there has been no lack of drama with England's vacationing after going down 2-0. But was that just the tonic Ben Stokes and his team needed?

We find out soon, but some big last-minute news from the Australian camp as Pat Cummins wins the toss and opts to bat first: no Steven Smith for this match, kept out by illness. Opportunity for England?
