The Ashes Daily: Root and Brook put England on top on day one in stormy Sydney

Nas and Ath have been forced inside to bring you their review of the opening day of the fifth Ashes Test against Australia, as England's promising start was interrupted by the weather in Sydney. Joe Root and Harry Brook had taken the tourists to 211-3 when the rain arrived. Still, plenty to discuss on day one including a lack of spin from Australia, a flurry of early England wickets and Root and Brook's stand.  

We'll have daily podcasts after every day's play during this Test, so make sure you give this show a follow wherever you listen to us, so you don't miss out.
