A five-wicket haul for Pat Cummins! The Skipper leading from the front. The English batters couldn't handle the might of the Aussie pace attack as they succumbed to 147. Now... That is Stumps on Day 1. Rain plays spoilsport in today's game, with the final session entirely washed out. England batters were blown away by Pat Cummins and co. Advantage Australia going into day two at The Gabba. Glenn McGrath, speaking to BT Sport “They originally said it was going to rain all day tomorrow but that has changed! I think it will be similar today with afternoon showers. The pitch itself hasn’t had the sun on it so the pitch isn’t going to be too dissimilar to today. It’s up to the England bowlers to get the ball in the right area and really build pressure that way. It’s not a wicket you are going to blast teams out on and if you go searching for wickets, you can start leaking runs.” England batter Ollie Pope, speaking to BT Sport “We didn’t get the score we wanted today. Personally I felt nice out there but it was frustrating not to kick on and get that big score. The game, at that stage, lent itself to some positive batting and Jos [Buttler] came in and took the pressure off nicely. It was frustrating neither of us were able to kick on and get that bigger score to push the team score forward. The pitch was quite tennis-bally, there was some steep bounce and some nip as well, so I realised I could leave a lot of balls. That was important for us and I think we will learn from our mistakes.” “Both teams have to bat before we can work out what is a good score on this wicket. They caught very well, took some great catches, so it is important for us to squeeze as much as we can, take our chances and give them no freebies. We are frustrated we didn’t get the score we wanted but we have to realise this is a long series. We are not going to get to too down and will come back hard tomorrow.” Sir Alastair Cook, speaking to BT Sport "Anytime you get bowled out for 140-odd on day one of any series, let alone the Ashes, is not ideal. I don’t want to use too many cliches but let’s wait a little bit and see what the England bowlers can do. I don’t think it is a traditional Gabba wicket – I don’t think it’s 400 plays 500. There was a lot in that wicket this morning and the moisture around today should still be there tomorrow."
