If you pick a player who's coming back from injury, that's your choice. They have to field.

So, England gambled on an opening bowler (Anderson), in the opening Test of an Ashes series in a match where he'd normally bowl 50 overs or more. Crazy.
Anderson was supposedly re-injured in his opening spell, but they've been showing video of him doing run-throughs this morning, which, as Athers said, is not what you'd expect if the calf were seriously injured.
Taylor thought we wouldn't see him again until the Fourth Test.
Pattinson gets the wicket of the woefully defective Roy, caught at second slip by Smith.
Earlier, off the same bowler, Roy had nicked to the boundary through the vacant fourth slip, prompting the English commentators to joke about a fourth slip being snuck in, but not immediately, because that would be an obvious admission Paine had made a mistake.

LBW appeal against Burns off Lyon's bowling. Not out.
They don't review. Replays show it's hitting leg stump. A missed chance. They didn't even have a 15-second discussion about it. Again, if the fielding team is clueless, it weakens arguments against the umpires.
(How many times do bowling teams run out of reviews? Should they be this hesitant?)
Early in session 2, Burns gets a totally undeserved 50, and England simultaneously get within 200.
Paine should have reviewed that LBW not-out decision. The commentators thought it was going down leg, but Paine didn't look like he was heading that way.
Siddle keeps things tight, but Oz are still searching for the second wicket, as the halfway mark of the day approaches.
The partnership is nearing a century.
Gower is sympathetic towards the umpires. He claims that the fielders were dismayed at the last overrule, because they did not see the inside edge live either.
