The first Ashes Test at Edgbaston is tantalisingly poised, with Australia looking for more quick wickets to shake up England's batting order and restrict their lead. Follow live.

CLOSE! Brook leaves a ball that comes in and bounces over the top of off stump by about two centimetres. Very close there. Brook charges and misses with a wild sweep. He needs to be careful here - he's mixing the sublime with the rash and ridiculous at the moment.BOUNCER! That's hit Root on the top hand, could be quite painful but Root is being very stoic, very Yorkshire and showing no feelings whatsoever.
Root comes down with a little skip of the feet and gets the bottom hand off the bat as the ball bounces up into him a bit more than he expected.
