Match State: Day 1 start Australia have won toss and will bowl
Good morning from Edgbaston for live commentary of the first Ashes
brought to you by ECB.co.uk and cricinfo.com
The news from the England camp is England's first-choice spinner,
Ashley Giles of Warwickshire, will be fit to play if required
Croft and Hoggard have been relieved from squad duty and Michael
Vaughan and Graham Thorpe are definitely out, almost certainly for
the first two Tests
This leaves England with an inexperienced batting line-up and Steve
Waugh has said that 'if Thorpe was playing he would have been the
key batsman'
But he also went on to add the younger 'ones we don't know and are
unpredictable'
Australia, on the other hand, have a settled line-up with no injury
worries
Waugh will not be taking England's challenge lightly. 'They've got
some good players in the side and we are going to respect all of
them
'They've had two wins on the subcontinent which is very hard to
do. They must be doing something right.'
The weather is fine and warm and play should start on time
England: MA Atherton, ME Trecothick, MA Butcher, *N Hussain, +AJ
Stewart, U Afzaal, IJ Ward, C White, AF Giles, D Gough, AR Caddick
Australia: ML Hayden, MJ Slater, RT Ponting, ME Waugh, *SR Waugh,

pace bowling accounted for 4 for 42

got variable bounce and humid conditions for swing on top
England lost Mike Atherton early and its going to be pace plus
Warne on a wearing wicket going all out to go one up in this first
