Australia will come out to bat on the fifth and final day of the opening Test against England to finish with the formalities. They need just 56 runs to win the Test in Brisbane and take a 1-0 lead in the five match series. David Warner and Cameron Bancroft struck fifties and have Australia in commanding position at 114/0 at stumps on Day 4. Earlier England were bowled out for 195 – with the last four wickets going for just 10 runs. In the first two sessions, England lost wickets – key ones at that – right before the breaks. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow top-scored for England but the Australian trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon took three wickets each to dash their hopes of a stiff target as Steve Smith got plenty of captaincy decisions right.
