Australia inched to 61-1 after bowling England out for 283 with Mitchell Starc taking four wickets on the opening day of the final Ashes test on Thursday.
Harry Brook propelled England’s “Bazball” brigade with an 85 at The Oval, where the Aussies — having already retained the Ashes — hope to win the series outright.
There were 31 fours and five sixes for the hosts though they lost wickets in costly clusters to be bowled out inside 55 overs.
