Lord's, 2005
0.1, Harmison to Langer, no run
Just short of a good length and outside the off stump, Langer watches the ball carefully and lets it go through to the wicketkeeper, and with that the Ashes are finally underway!

The Gabba, 2006-07
0.1, Harmison to Langer, 1 wide
And it's wild and woolly, a massive wide taken by first slip. Welcome back to Australia, Steve.

Cardiff, 2009
0.1, Johnson to Strauss, no run
Starts with a decent length, if a touch too wide of the left-hander's off stump, and it's left alone

The Gabba, 2010-11
0.1, Hilfenhaus to Strauss, no run
Is it Harmison-esque? No it's not! A straightforward start outside off stump from Hilfenhaus, Strauss leaves it alone and the keeper takes it - not second slip.

Trent Bridge, 2013
0.1, Pattinson to Cook, 1 wide
It's a wide! Not quite Steve Harmison, but Pattinson starts with a very short, loopy bouncer.

The Gabba, 2013-14
0.1, Anderson to Rogers, no run
Good start by Anderson, full at off stump, hint of movement in the air, Rogers shuffles across and defends quite late, the ball runs to gully

Cardiff, 2015
0.1, Starc to Lyth, no run
Starts with a short ball loosener, 87mph, outside off and loops gently through to Haddin as Lyth drops his hands.

The Gabba, 2017-18
0.1, Starc to Cook, no run
Good line, tight to off stump and good carry through, but not express. Cook leaves alone, as you'd expect.

Edgbaston, 2019
0.1, Anderson to Bancroft, no run
Finds a good length and immediately has the ball shaping away, excellent line to the right-hander, who leaves.

The Gabba, 2021/22
0.1, Starc to Burns, OUT
Knocks him over first ball! Full yorker which crashes into the base of leg stump. Burns is nowhere, falling over to the off side as he looks to clip off the pads. Angled into the left-hander from over the wicket, but this actually tailed away late and sharply to hit the base of leg stump. What a start from Starc!

Edgbaston, 2023
0.1, Cummins to Crawley, FOUR runs
Thumped on the up through cover-point! What a shot! Decent length, a lot of width, he strides out and climbs into an amazing cover drive on the up!
