Lloyd has not faced a ball. England one for four." "Well played. Cowdrey fourteen. Very large crowd, lovely sunny day." "Something like seventy thousand to watch the first day of this match. A magnificent scene here from this largest sporting arena in Australia and of course it can't beat (indistinct) one hundred and thirty thousand, but it comfortably fills the cricket ground. Here's walker bowling to Cowdrey." "Cowdrey gets runs straight away, its going down towards the boundary, a long chase for Walters. I don't think he'll get it, the ball's slowing down but into the fence it goes. And four to Crowdrey off the first ball of the afternoon." "A fast ball from Thompson and he's out. l b w." "Magnificent price of wicket keeping by Marsh and he's given out by the umpire." "And its over the top of the slips again, down it goes towards the boundary and four more to Greign. Greig eight, Denness, four." "And over the head of the slip fields-man and down towards the boundary it comes, but I think Ian Chappell will get to it. They've taken two, Greig goes for three, there's danger here... and is he out? He's out! Greig couldn't believe it... he's been run out."
