The Ashes live scores: Recap from the Third Test’s Day 1 at Adelaide Oval

It’s now or never for England - and perhaps the future of Bazball as a philosophy - as the Third Test begins in Adelaide.
Australia can wrap up the series with a win, and even a draw will see them retain the urn at worst this summer.
There’s changes for both sides, with the Aussies recalling two of their greatest-ever bowlers in Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon at the expense of Michael Neser and Brendan Doggett - while a dramatic late swap saw an ill Steve Smith replaced by Usman Khawaja.
England bring in Josh Tongue for Gus Atkinson as their sole difference from Brisbane, backing in the batting unit that has largely failed in the opening two Tests of the series.
What will Day 1 have in store for us? Follow the latest below, with play set to start at 7.30am WA time.
Key Events
That’s where we’ll leave it
Alex Carey keeps Australia in the game on what was otherwise England’s day.
Starc will hope to eek out as much as he can tomorrow morning to push Australia towards 350.
England will want to knock them over quickly and get going on a belting surface.
Do join us from around 7am tomorrow.
Bye for now!
An emotional Alex Carey speaks
“Great to be out there with Mitch, and a decent day’s cricket...to make a hundred here in front of home fans and family was special,” Carey says.
“And I guess you know why I was looking to the heavens.”
Carey lost his father earlier in the year.
“I’ll try not to tear up,” Carey says.
“To have mum, brother, sister, Eloise, the kids here, it was a great moment.
“As we mentioned, Dad played the biggest role probably in my cricket, coached me all the way through as dads want to do.
“Sort let me go once I got into my older teenage years but would always shoot a message to put the reverse sweep away...it was great, I won’t go into too much depth but it was a special moment for myself but the family too I reckon.”
Analysis
Not for the first time Usman Khawaja has given Australian selectors a fresh headache.
STUMPS - AUSTRALIA 8-326
An engrossing day of Test cricket highlighted by some awful shots from Australia’s top order and a wonderful Alex Carey century.
Usman Khawaja looked good to for 82 in an innings few saw coming but it’s a case of what might have been for he and the other Australian batters who repeatedly threw their wickets away.
After being sent into the field England will be happy enough having put in an excellent display in the field, including some outstanding catches.
Can Australia eek their way past 350 or will England make them pay on what looks to be a good pitch.

Umpire expert believes Carey hit the ball
A stunning admission from Simon Taufel who believes snicko was not calibrated correctly to get the correct decision.
“The DRS was applied and for the third umpire to overturn the not out decision, we need to see a clear deflection off the bat, or we have to see a spike next to the bat or up to one frame past the bat,” he sayd on Seven.
“The confusing element here for everyone was that the spike occurred at least a couple of frames before the bat.
Which was just amazing. Now, JB, what was interesting in this particular case and in my experience, I have never seen a spike like this occur without the bat hitting something like a pad or the ground or the ball hitting the pad.
“There’s nothing else out there, absolutely nothing else out there, so my gut tells me from all of my experience on field and also as a TV Umpire that I think Alex Carey has actually hit that ball and the technology calibration hasn’t been quite right to game the outcome that it was looking for.”
