  • Thu, 14 Nov - day 2 - England XI 1st innings 302/5 (JE Root 26*, JM Bairstow 11*, 73 ov)
  • Fri, 15 Nov - day 3 - Cricket Australia Invitational XI 2nd innings 153/4 (KR Patterson 8*, RGL Carters 1*, 52.3 ov)
  • Sat, 16 Nov - day 4 - England XI 2nd innings 151/3 (38.4 ov) - end of match
  • Root relaxed about return to No. 6

    Unfussy, unfazed and uninterested in speculating, England No. 6 Joe Root sounds a lot like England opener Joe Root did during the northern summer

  • Bresnan absence weighs heavy

    England will miss Tim Bresnan enormously at the start of the Ashes series and his replacement will be targeted by Australia's batsmen, according to Ed Cowan

  • Root, Bairstow encourage England

    For an hour or so, Joe Root's little finger was of almost as much interest to England on day three of the tour match in Sydney as Kevin Pietersen's knee and Matt Prior's calf have been for most of the week

  • Pietersen finds form in lively knock

    Kevin Pietersen struck a belligerent half-century and there were 80s for Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott as England reached 5 for 302 in reply to 304

  • Life is a beach for Broad

    Stuart Broad came as close as he might get on a busy Ashes tour to a spot of Australian beach culture. He spent most of the day in Sydney feeling as if he was running through sand
