England might have thought it had gained an advantage with winning the toss.

But Australian batters made sure its their day. Warner kicked things off with an assured 50. Smith and Labuschagne then compiled runs in no hurry, before Head came a blitzed his way to a quick-fire fifty.

England though edged back into the game with Root getting Head and Green out in the same over. But Smith and Carey saw out until the day’s play to ensure Australia heads into the end of day’s play ahead of the contest.

While the opening day was a memorable one for the Australian team during the second Test at Lord’s on Wednesday, David Warner (66), Travis Head (77) and Steve Smith (85*) all scored half-centuries on the opening day as Australia put some miles into the legs of England’s seam attack, with Ben Stokes having included an additional pace option rather than a spinner in his side to replace the recovering Moeen Ali, reports ICC
