England skittled for just 147 by Australia in dramatic start to Ashes series

• England 147. Rain brings early end to play on day one
• Rory Burns bowled with very first ball of series by Starc

It was a first day in the job that seemed written in the southern stars for Pat Cummins, Australia's newly-crowned Test captain claiming a five-wicket haul, watching his opposite number trudge off after a nine-ball duck and England's batsmen left in a state of general bewilderment.

From the opening delivery of this pandemic-era Ashes, when Rory Burns displayed the footwork of an early Strictly evictee and Mitchell Starc speared the brand new Kookaburra ball into his leg stump, everything turned to Australian gold; for England, three for 11 in the blink of an eye and then all out for 147 in 50.1 overs, this represented the latest chapter in the great book of Gabba woes.
