And that is that. England’s first foray onto Australia soil since the Ashes ending in a familiar thrashing. The Aussies, on the other hand, managed to block out the throbbing background music and curate a win domineering enough to (maybe) take a headline or two. The teams meet again on Sunday, this time in Adelaide. Do join us.

Brendon McCullum is at the mic …

We need to be able to adapt to conditions a bit more, we need to scrap a bit more.

KP has got such a nice manner about him. He sees his role to get the talent to perform on the world stage. His message will be measured but firm – adapting to conditions, what could we have done, trying to drive the ball on the up is not wise, next time we hit a surface like this we have to try and work it better.

Adelaide is traditionally a v good batting surface, obviously we will have a little bit more information on the Australians, I though they bowled extremely well, used the crease well, invited us to drive.

Australia captain Mitch Marsh is happy to talk up the debut of young quick Mahli Beardman …

Beardman is a fantastic young kid. I would love to live my life like he does, he loves the ocean, loves learning about fast bowling. A lovely gentle young man. A fantastic start to his career.

Mahli’s already said, who is coming back in for him! The big three will have some sleepless nights tonight, there is a lot of fast bowling talent within the country, hopefully they can all get a go.

130 on paper looks like an easy chase, but this pitch can be tricky, I love that about this ground, it’s my home, it has its own character.

England captain Harry Brook attempts to hide his disappointment …

We’ve spoken a lot about adaptability. We’ve been here for a week, had adapted. We knew certain shots weren’t going to work. But they put the ball in the right areas and we didn’t execute our skills well enough.

The bigger picture is the World Cup in South Africa in 12 months’ time, we learn from these experiences, we hopefully bounce back at Adelaide.

Under the shadow of Sandpapergate point two, Pat Cummins’ mammoth press conference, David Warner’s riposte, an unfazed Australia were defiantly dominant.

Twenty-one year old Mahli Beardman turned out the best bowling debut by an Australian in ODIs, the catches stuck, Mitch Marsh bullied 50 to get Australia off to an unstoppable start and victory rolled over with more than 26 overs to spare.

England? Perth was a shock after Pakistan, and the batters still don’t have the measure of it.

23rd over: Australia 127-3 (Inglis 23, Renshaw 22) Inglis flays Sam Curran’s first ball, but it doesn’t quite hit the sweet spot and he only gets two from it. Baz McCullum up in the England dressing room stares into space, leaning catalogue style on a desk. Kevin Pietersen sits stony faced nearby

”Stuck here on glorious Hamilton Island,” writs Martin Rands, “my pesky optimism consigning me to the hotel TV. If the Aussies do one thing well (above everything else they do well), it’s bowling tight lines with just a fraction of movement. The looseness of the England batters has always been catnip to the Aussie bowlers, and this new batch is no different…” Maybe they’ll have tightened up by the weekend…

22nd over: Australia 119-3 (Inglis 19, Renshaw 20) Just one run off Overton’s over. Australia not desperate for their ice bath just yet.

At Mount Maunganui, New Zealand have bowled India out for 89, to win by 244 runs.

21st over: Australia 119-3 (Inglis 19, Renshaw 20) Behind the curtains, its a frosty morning here in Surrey. Beautiful yellow beech leaves and a clear sky. Over in Perth, Atkinson finishes off his tenth over, a very respectable 1-40.

20th over: Australia 119-3 (Inglis 16, Renshaw 20) Shimmy and bang – Overton’s first ball is pulled away for four by Renshaw, ball three gets the same treatment. Just 13 needed now.

19th over: Australia 109-3 (Inglis 16, Renshaw 10) Inglis shows a very straight bat to Atkinson, who has grown out his buzz cut of the summer (?). While Australia tinker around, the crowd are entertaining themselves with beer snakes stretching between the tiers.

18th over: Australia 107-3 (Inglis 15, Renshaw 9) It’s all slowed down now into some garters and wellingtons sensible run gathering. Just the one four off Archer’s over, ushered away by Renshaw down to the backward square leg boundary.

17th over: Australia 102-3 (Inglis 14, Renshaw 5) Up comes the hundred with a swivel pull from Inglis for four off Atkinson. England review a catch behind off Renshaw, but Renshaw looks unbothered and sure enough the ball had brushed the thigh pad.

16th over: Australia 95-3 (Inglis 8, Renshaw 5) The shadows are starting to stretch across the outfield. Maybe someone on the ground can confim this, but it looks like the stadium has been built to give proper amounts of shade to the crowd? Anyway, Archer rolls in for over number seven, neat and tidy, just one from it.

15th over: Australia 95-3 (Inglis 8, Renshaw 5) Atkinson is making the ball dance against post players and weaves it past Renshaw’s outside edge. Just a single from the over and they take a DRINKs with Australia needing 36 to win from just the 35 overs.

14th over: Australia 95-3 (Inglis 7, Renshaw 5) Oooof, Renshaw is lucky, edging Archer past the giant paws of a diving Overton at slip. He grins, and his moustache grins with him.

13th over: Australia 91-3 (Inglis 7, Renshaw 1) It’s still kind of thrilling to watch cricket in Australia from the dark of a British November. The technicolour! The light! Just a couple off Atkinson’s over.

Good morning Krishnamoorthy V.

“Do we ask Harry Kane to start playing cricket too? Desperate situations, desperate measures and all that.” Harry would let no-one down…

12th over: Australia 89-3 (Inglis 6, Renshaw 0) Archer gets his man the ball after Connolly peeled him away for four through backward point. Not a moment Connolly will want to replay too often in his mind.

11th over: Australia 84-2 (Connolly 23, Inglis 5) We get a bird’s eye view of the Optus stadium, it’s an amazing sight, part Death Star, part pocket Simon. Atkinson looks as if he’s going to pull off a rare maiden, until Connolly top-edges six.

Good morning Phil Withall! “In an attempt to remain positive, in the face of a performance that is anything but, it’s good to know England still have two reviews in hand. Use them wisely and the pressure on the Australian batters may just tell...”

10th over: Australia 78-2 (Connolly 17, Inglis 5) After Archer keeps Inglis quiet for five balls, a glorious cover drive, played late under the nose, beats the chasing Duckett to the rope.

8th over: Australia 65-1 (Marsh 49, Connolly 11) A tidy over from Atkinson, until Marsh advances way out of his crease and square drives four. Australia need just 67.

7th over: Australia 59-1 (Marsh 44, Connolly 10) Jamie Overton gets a go, and Mitch Marsh continues the treatment – hauls the frying pan out of the drawer and and tonks him for six. Not a crowd catch in the bag yet. Overton runs down in his follow through later in the over and attempts to kick the ball at the stumps. Two enormous brick houses briefly bristle at each other.

6th over: Australia 32-1 (Marsh 40, Connolly 7) Mitch Marsh is in the mood. His arms are telegraph poles and he’s got his enormous dancing boots on – six more is flayed through midwicket and another four through cover point. Gus Atkinson looks glum.

5th over: Australia 32-1 (Marsh 24, Connolly 7) England let a chance slip through their fingers as Connolly mishits the ball high above the stadium roof and Tom Banton tracks it, like a circling hawk, but loses his way as it falls ,and and ends up belly up on the grass, prize just out of hand. Four through the covers for Connolly earlier in the over too.

4th over: Australia 26-1 (Marsh 24, Connolly 1) Just three off a tidy over from Atkinson.

3rd over: Australia 23-1 (Marsh 22, Connolly 0) Archer starts with a wide but Marsh swoops into the second ball, yee-haaring it over point for four, cape flowing. A beauty beats the outside edge, but Marsh responds with a swivel, pick up and heave for six off the front foot – an enormous shot, a good 15 rows back. And another one, caught in the crowd.

2nd over: Australia 6-1 (Marsh 6, Connolly 0) A wicket maiden from Atkinson, round the wicket, Head trying to drive him on the march, but has to turn on his heel instead.

1st over: Australia 6-0 (Marsh 6, Head 0) England play their trump card from the off, Jofra Archer starts with three beauties, but Marsh advances to the fourth and carves him for four. A lofted plonk brings a couple and he is hit in the guts to finish. Does he flinch? Does he heck.

Thanks Martin, slight deja vu this morning to wake up to England collapsing at Perth . A hugely impressive performance from Mahli Beardman - the best ODI figures for Australian on debut.

He looked the part too, a lovely action, smooth as silk, tying up England who found themselves stuck in the crease and gave the slips chocolate drops.

The tail gave England a bit of a boost but it is going to be a tricky old challenge ahead. Anyway, here are the players, let’s see how they do.

Thanks a lot for following along as our gaze at least temporarily turned away from cricket controversies and back to some present-day on-field action. Tanya Aldred will take you through England’s attempts to claim early wickets that will surely decide whether they are any hope to contain Australia’s chase.

It is less than a year since England collapsed at Perth Stadium in the first Test of last summer’s Ashes. While the stakes might not have been as high in this ODI series opener at the same venue, the manner of the tourists’ dismissals were too often familiar.

Mahli Beardman finished with six wickets and three of them caught by Josh Inglis behind the stumps, while Jack Edwards grasped two more in the gully off the young quick as England stayed committed to attacking deliveries travelling outside off-stump. Inglis gloved five catches and Edwards finished with a third.

Tom Barton (25) looked shaky early before settling into his knock, while Will Jacks (25) and Gus Atkinson (29) combined late in the innings to push their side into triple figures and help set Australia a 132-run target.

Mahil Beardman is the young man of the moment after taking six wickets on his ODI debut and in front of home fans in Perth. The 21-year-old is speaking with Mike Hussey on Kayo Cricket.

I’m not sure what’s just happened. It all happened very quickly. But it’s just a great privilege and honour to able to represent my country and to be able to take a few wickets as well is just the cherry on top.

The first one, Harry Brook was a nice one, just to get off the mark. I think anytime you get your first one there’s a bit of weight off the shoulders.

The first ball is always just hit the mark … but everything started to feel pretty natural and it’s obviously a great group be around. Mitch is such an incredible leader so he helped calm those nerves.

33rd over: England 127-9 (Atkinson 29, Archer 7) SIX! The first of the innings. Renshaw pounces on the ball and throws down the stumps at the non-striker’s end just after Archer jogs across the crease. That would have capped a horror England innings. Atkinson takes command from there as Johnson keeps dropping too short – first with two from a pull to fine leg, four with a better pull in the air to deep midwicket, and an intentional airborne cut to deep point. Then the best of the bunch with a monster pull that clears the rope. 18 from the over and just what England needed.

32nd over: England 109-9 (Atkinson 13, Archer 6) Beardman is thrown the ball. And why wouldn’t he be with five wickets already in the bag and one more needed for the most on ODI debut by an Australian. Tony Dodemaide’s 5 for 21 against Sri Lanka at the Waca in 1988 stand as the figures to beat. Archer’s single from the last ball of the over takes Beardman to 5 for 20.

31st over: England 107-9 (Atkinson 13, Archer 5) Jacks looked like the key to England posting a defendable total as he eased to 25 without taking too many risks from the 47 balls faced. Probably time for Atkinson and Archer to open up from here, and the latter begins with a creative cut to the rope at deep backward point.

30th over: England 102-8 (Jacks 25, Atkinson 13) England bring up a hundred though the eight in the neighbouring column is surely more of a concern. Both batters pick up a pair of singles. That’s drinks.

29th over: England 98-8 (Jacks 23, Atkinson 11) Jacks steps back to swat Edwards back down the ground for the first boundary in more than four overs. England are otherwise crawling along but triple figures is now within reach as they aim to avoid being dismissed for under 100 for just the seventh time.

28th over: England 94-8 (Jacks 19, Atkinson 11) Atkinson is in an unfamiliar position of trying to contain his more assertive batting style as Zampa has him camped in the crease. The England quick finally picks up a single to midwicket and Jacks adds another with a prod down the ground.

27th over: England 91-8 (Jacks 18, Atkinson 10) Edwards continues with a change of ends. Jacks has been able to keep the scoreboard ticking over but is content to see out a second consecutive maiden. This is already the highest partnership of the innings at 26 runs.

26th over: England 91-8 (Jacks 18, Atkinson 10) Australia turn to spin for the first time in the series as Adam Zampa is thrown the ball with Jacks and Atkinson starting to settle. The leg-spinner’s opener drifts, finds a little turn and rises quickly out of the surface as Atkinson has no idea what he has just witnessed but somehow survives. Zampa starts with a maiden.

25th over: England 91-8 (Jacks 18, Atkinson 10) Bartlett bowls out his 10 overs at the halfway mark of the England innings. Jacks smacks a fuller ball back down the ground and Johnson’s dive at mid-on fails to stop it reaching the rope. Bartlett finishes with 1 for 46.

24th over: England 85-8 (Jacks 13, Atkinson 9) Jacks looks comfortable facing up to Edwards’ deliveries hovering around 125km/h. The all-rounder pulls for two to deep midwicket and keeps the strike with a single whipped off the pads and into the deep.

23rd over: England 81-8 (Jacks 10, Atkinson 8) England’s best over for a while as Jacks and Atkinson work Johnson around to add five runs to the meagre total. They have plenty of overs left to get the score up to a more defendable 150-odd, and even from the lower order Jacks can turn to six half-centuries in his previous 33 ODIs.

22nd over: England 76-8 (Jacks 7, Atkinson 7) Jack Edwards takes over from Beardman for his first spell of the game and with England on the ropes. Atkinson might appreciate the slower pace on the ball but has difficulty getting clean bat on ball with a wide and a single from a thick edge the only additions to the score.

21st over: England 74-8 (Jacks 7, Atkinson 6) Xavier Bartlett is back as Mitch Marsh looks to wrap up the innings quickly. Gus Atkinson watches the first ball carefully before unleashing on a wider delivery that he hammers through cover for just the eighth boundary of the innings. Atkinson is unsure how to deal with a straight ball pitched at an awkward length as his half pull, half defensive prod takes a top edge the balloons up but drops safely between three scampering Australians.

OBO regular Rowan Sweeney is among those to relish Mahli Beardman’s ODI debut performance and perhaps even its impeccable timing, as he says, “The kids are alright.”

“How good is it for the soul of Australian Cricket that Beardman’s done this today of all days? Hope is kindled.”

20th over: England 67-8 (Jacks 6, Atkinson 0) Beardman is out to take the most wickets for an Australian on ODI debut but is unable to find his sixth scalp just yet as Jacks picks up two with a clip through midwicket.

18th over: England 63-7 (Jacks 3, Overton 3) Beardman is having a debut to remember as he ends his fifth over with 5 for 16. Dawson is the latest to go before Jamie Overton shows his top order how its down as he smashes a first ball faced for three through midwicket.

17th over: England 59-6 (Jacks 2, Dawson 0) Jacks pulls Johnson for a single but England have little choice now but to try to occupy the crease for as long as possible. Dawson blocks out the rest of the over.

16th over: England 58-6 (Jacks 1, Dawson 0) Beardman picks up where he left off in the previous over as he lures Jordan Cox into a half-hearted drive and claims his third wicket. A hat-trick ball drifts down leg as Jacks swings away to encourage Inglis into a hopeful appeal but the umpire calls a wide. Curran drives straight back to Beardman who throws the stumps down just as the England all-rounder steps back into his crease. But he gets his man in more traditional fashion with a short ball and a wild hook that is caught on the rope.

15th over: England 56-4 (Cox 2, Curran 0) DROPPED! Johnson returns at the opposite end in place of Bartlett with Australia looking to turn the screw on England’s middle order. The fast bowler almost pulls in a stunning one-handed catch as Curran cracks a drive straight back at Johnson who can’t quite make it stick.

13th over: England 49-3 (Root 11, Cox 1) Bartlett runs in for a seventh over even as his venom is beginning to subside. Three singles from it and Mitch Marsh might be pondering a second change.

12th over: England 46-3 (Root 9, Cox 0) Beardman puts Australia in a promising position with the dismissal of Harry Brook as he has the ball moving away off the seam to claim the big wicket. Root clips a low full toss for two and adds a single to deep third as he looks to rebuild the innings.

11th over: England 41-2 (Root 5, Brook 1) Bartlett continues with the ball still moving about and has even Brook watching the first delivery carefully. The England skipper can’t be tied down for long and angles his bat to find the gap between mid-off and cover to get off the mark. Root is yet to find his range with only five runs from 22 balls faced, a single coming from a mis-timed drive the bounces into the pads.

10th over: England 38-2 (Root 4, Brook 0) Mahli Beardman is thrown straight into the deep end as Harry Brook joins Joe Root at the crease just in time for the ODI debutant’s first over. The Australian quick gets the ball flying through at more than 140km/h and finishes with a tidy maiden bowled to Root.

9th over: England 38-2 (Root 4, Brook 0) DROPPED! Cooper Connolly spills a sitter. Root pokes at a wider ball that he can only guide toward Connolly at backward point who barely has to leap to get hands to it but fails to bring it down. The slow pace of the cut shot might have muddled Connolly’s reading of the flight. But Johnson has the last laugh as he sends Banton on his way.

8th over: England 37-1 (Banton 25, Root 3) Australia consider an lbw review as Johnson gets the ball moving into Root but height might have been the concern. Root is having trouble picking up the length and pace on the ball as Johnson ties him up before a loose shorter ball gifts a single to deep fine leg.

7th over: England 36-1 (Banton 25, Root 2) Root drives hard at a fuller delivery but slices it in the air to land barely in front of Edwards point, then glances for a single to fine leg. Banton punishes a shorter ball as he sends it to the rope then hammers a full toss on the pads for four more.

6th over: England 27-1 (Banton 17, Root 1) Duckett is on his way as Joe Root comes to the crease in his 200th ODI. Johnson rips in a shorter ball that the experienced England No 3 evades with ease before picking up a single toward a gap near mid-on. Banton punches down the ground for two more through mid-off.

5th over: England 24-0 (Banton 15, Duckett 9) Duckett picks up the line of a fuller delivery early to punch the ball back for three through mid-on. Banton smokes a boundary with one of the better shots of the day through cover.

4th over: England 17-0 (Banton 11, Duckett 6) Johnson ties up Duckett and has a couple of shouts for lbw with neither truly threatening to end the opener’s knock. Duckett cuts late to deep third to end the over with a single.

3rd over: England 16-0 (Banton 11, Duckett 5) The Australian quicks are testing England’s openers with their swing at Perth Stadium. But a couple of deliveries in each over that are too straight or a touch down leg keep easing the pressure. Duckett glances for a single before Bartlett gets the ball moving away from right-hander Banton. Bartlett’s hearty appeal for lbw from the final delivery finds little support.

2nd over: England 15-0 (Banton 11, Duckett 4) Spencer Johnson takes the new ball and immediately has it swinging. The fast bowler’s first is a cracker as Banton gets all tied up by the movement and is beaten on the outside edge. The England opener whips two off his pads as Beardman saves a boundary with a dive on the rope, then swings hard away from his body to lift a thick edge over slips for four more. A drive for four from the next ball is the most convincing shot so far as Banton gets the scoreboard ticking over even while still settling in.

1st over: England 5-0 (Banton 1, Duckett 4) Bartlett gets the ball talking with movement in both directions. Banton is fortunate to play and miss the opening delivery, then gets a thick edge that pops up through gully before falling safely for an easy single. Duckett is beaten on the outside edge from his first ball then punishes Bartlett as the Australia quick drifts on to the pads for a boundary to fine leg.

All the talk of past deeds and perhaps even future global tournaments can be pushed aside as Xavier Bartlett stands at the top of his mark with Tom Banton on strike and Ben Duckett at the other end. Let’s play …

Thanks for Will to nudging attention closer to the action in Perth as the players line up for the Welcome to Country and the national anthems.

“It is a good day for our Outlook to be broken! Watching discreetly from my desk in Sydney,” Will says. “As an Australian, I am wondering where Jacob Bethell is for this tour? He seems to be a very talented young batsman, with the temperament for both the white and red ball.

“On paper, this English team is certainly stronger than what the Australians have fielded. After a week of media chaos and scandalous commentary, I am sure that the majority of the Australian team will be happy to be back on the field.”

Unfortunately Bethell has been ruled out of the white-ball tour of Australia and is battling to be fit for England’s Test series in South Africa next month.

As much as Cummins might have hoped to put to bed the sandpaper scandal that threatens to tear apart Australian cricket all over again, former teammate David Warner was quick to keep the story rolling as he responded on Fox Cricket.

Pat Cummins was very well prepared this morning. I still stick by Uzzy and what he’s written in that book. It’s the truth and I really, really support him.

I actually feel for him at the moment. I actually feel that the captain today actually threw Uzzy under the bus, and I’m very, very disappointed about that.

All three of us have played a big price in this. I hadn’t spoken about it in eight years. But at the end of the day, we’ve got to live with these consequences daily and we’ve been served a life punishment. So when other people talk about they’ve been affected by it, there’s nothing worse for me, Steven, Cameron, who have to walk out there every single day, and we cop abuse.

Yes, we accepted it, but at the end of the day, my wife and I as well pay the greatest price. We lost a baby during that time, and that’s why it really hurts me the most until the truth is accepted.

It’s been very difficult, because the way that it was handled in the first place, it was hard for us to go back and actually give more evidence. I felt like it was a botched investigation. It was a quick one to get it over and done with.

We don’t have that opportunity to go there and to speak again. Todd Greenberg squashed that the other day.

Pat Cummins opened his press conference saying he would stand there until every question had been asked and answered. He did just that for more than an hour as he covered a range of topics from sandpaper and ball tampering to Australian cricket culture and his friendship with Usman Khawaja.

Catch up on all the key points from the Australia Test captain’s 70 minute press conference in Sydney this morning.

Harry Brook concedes England would have liked to bowl first as well.

“You have got do both sides of the game at some point, so we’ll take it on,” Brook said. You guys

“We’ve had a really good week’s training block and it’s something we don’t really get much in the white ball space.”

Pat Cummins came out firing today in a press conference that lasted more than an hour without even a drinks break being called.

The Australia Test captain is not playing in this white-ball series against England but has already left his mark on the first ODI as he denied Usman Khawaja’s claims that the entire Australia team was implicated in the 2018 sandpaper scandal, describing the allegations as “complete and utter nonsense” and “100% wrong”.

Caitlin Cassidy was at Cricket NSW headquarters in Sydney as Cummins responded to Khawaja’s allegations and countless questions …

Cummins said Khawaja was a friend to him, adding he had been “grappling” over recent days as to whether their relationship was irrevocably harmed.

He said Khawaja was “100% wrong” with his claim that the whole team knew sandpaper was going out on the field, maintaining he “did not know that was happening” and “did not see anything on the ball” at the time.

‘He says that I and others were architects of a scheme to ball tamper with sandpaper. That’s complete and utter nonsense,’ Cummins said.

‘I was genuinely shocked this week when I found out Usman admitted he told Cam [Bancroft] to be careful when using sandpaper. That’s not [the] Usman that I know. It’s not the Usman that has been part of the team that’s helped rebuild the Australian cricket culture over the last eight years.

‘Usman is a friend, but friends aren’t casual with each other’s lives and reputations. In his book he’s been casual with my life and the lives of many others and, I think, Australian cricket.’
