He was well supported by the colleague pacers Starc and Hazlewood who took 2 wickets each and Cameron Green got his 1st test career wicket as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We are all out for 147 in the first innings.<\/p>\n<p>Scorecard: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BdJMd4zjiz\">https:\/\/t.co\/BdJMd4zjiz<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Ashes?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Ashes<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7L1y2fNM9Z\">pic.twitter.com\/7L1y2fNM9Z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 England Cricket (@englandcricket) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/englandcricket\/status\/1468441007448539142?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 8, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>England\u2019s captain Joe Root surprisingly opted to bat first after winning the toss on a grassy looking pitch with a bunch of clouds overhead. His decision came out to be a tense one for the visitors as they lost the opener, Rory Burns, in the very first ball of the match. Root\u2019s men than never managed to recover as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. There was a bit of spark shown by Hameed at the top order and Ollie Pope in between who was well supported by England\u2019s highest scorer Jos Buttler even though couldn\u2019t save their team from tumbling out for just 147 runs in 1st innings of the first Test match.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s got very dark here at the Gabba and the covers are coming on too as the English bowlers continue to warm up.
