ADELAIDE (Reuters) - Play in the inaugural day-night Ashes test between England and Australia resumed after a 90-minute rain delay during which the tea break was taken on Saturday.

Australia resumed on 33 without loss after being put in to bat by England captain Joe Root.

Play will start an hour earlier on Sunday to make up for the lost time.
