The Australia openers Shane Watson and Chris Rogers start racking up the runs. Here, Watson slogs the ball and by the 15th over they are 58-0 Photograph: Tom Jenkins

In the 17th over, Watson edges a straight ball from Tim Bresnan through to slip and England take their first wicket of the day Photograph: Tom Jenkins

In the 20th over, a single by Chris Rogers brings up his 20,000th run in first-class cricket Photograph: Tom Jenkins

In a series already full of controversies, one more is added to the list in the 23rd over when Usman Khawaja is caught behind by Matt Prior. The batsman reviews it. Hot Spot isn't picking anything up, and if there is a little noise as the ball passes the bat, it isn't much of one. After ages the TV umpire decides to give him out Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Khawaja has a look of disbelief on his face as he leaves the field, and it's totally understandable as the bat clearly hit the pad, which was the noise. Hot Spot didn't show anything, and there seemed to be a palpable gap between the bat and ball. Everyone in the Sky commentary box thinks that Khawaja wasn't out. Shane Warne called the decision 'a shocker, an absolute shocker' Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Graeme Swann finally gets the wicket that England needed most, when he traps Rogers lbw on 84 Photograph: Tom Jenkins

In the 50th over James Anderson roars his delight as Steven Smith looks to edge through to Matt Prior. The umpire shakes his head, Smith stands his ground, and England opt for an immediate review. Hot Spot shows no edge whatsoever so the decision rightly stays with the on-field umpire, much to Anderson's disappointment Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Stuart Broad can't believe his LBW appeal on Steve Smith is turned down by umpire Hill. He can't review it, because England have used up all their DRS opportunities. The ball hit Smith smack in the middle of the pad, and Hawk Eye shows it would have hit the middle of middle stump Photograph: Tom Jenkins

An absorbing day's play comes to and end with Clarke, Smith, and Rogers all batting superbly well. Michael Clarke and Steve Smith congratulate each other on a job well done Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Australia finish the day on 302-3 with Clarke on 125 and Smith on 70. So the pressure will be on England to stop Australia running away with it on day two Photograph: Tom Jenkins
