The first Test is in Brisbane.
England was all out of it's game.
Australia is yet to bat.
The scorecard is a summary of what happened.
The tourists were skittled for just 147 by Australia on the opening day of the series at the Gabba.
In a moment of instant infamy, Burns was the first Englishman to be dismissed in the series when he was caught by Starc off the very first delivery.
England had opted to bat on a green-tinged pitch and were 11-3 with skipper Joe Root falling for nought.
Pat Cummins claimed 5-38 on his first day as captain as Australia's pace attack was relentless.
Buttler and Pope made 52 and 35, respectively, in England's counter-attack.
The only four batters to reach double figures were Haseeb Hameed and Chris Woakes.
The decision to leave Stuart Broad out of the Test was not influenced by the batting display, but by the fact that England have not played an Australian Test without at least one of them in 15 years.
A huge storm delayed the evening session and prevented Australia from starting their reply.
The old story of new ashes.
A grey morning and half-empty Gabba did not feel like an opener to the series because of the bad weather, Covid restrictions and lack of preparation for both sides.
After only one ball, England were reminded why they have lost nine of their past 10 Tests in Australia and not won in Brisbane for 35 years.
Steve Harmison's first ball to second slip in 2006 or the decision of Nasser Hussain to field in 2002 were written into the folklore of the series by a swinging Starc yorker.
Should England have started? The damage had been done by the time batting began to look easier.
With the rest of the series in mind, there will be questions over the decision to leave Broad and Anderson out.
In the last two years, England has avoided being beaten in Australia. It is too early to write them off, but this is an awful start.
England is once again paying for fragile batting.
The fear that the batting would fail too often was realised at the earliest opportunity, because of the hope that damp conditions in Brisbane and the possibility of two pink-ball Tests might favour England's bowlers.
England's batters were not equipped to survive as well as Australia and the early conditions were.
Burns became the second man in history to be out to the first ball of a series when he was out to a ball that was too far across. Josh Hazlewood got movement from a full length to take the crucial wickets of Root after Dawid Malan prodded at him.
Cummins drew Hameed into playing at a wide one after lunch when he squared up Ben Stokes, who was returning to the game for the first time since July.
Buttler's counter-attack, featuring drives over the covers, briefly knocked Australia off their feet.
His edge behind Starc was the signal that England would lose their last five seamers.
Cummins leads the charge.
This was a great start for the hosts and new skipper Cummins, after the turmoil of Australia's build-up.
Four years ago, Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood ran through England's batting, and they did it again this year.
If both sides have had a disrupted build-up, the same pace trio have been bowling meaningfully in Australia's triumph at the T20 World Cup, and they showed no signs of rustiness.
They were supported by secure catching. Debutant Alex Carey, who replaced Tim Paine behind the stumps, pouched three, while Josh Hazlewood took a fine diving grab to give Green his first Test dismissal when Pope lost control of a pull shot.
Cummins took three of the last four, the last two falling to Mark Wood and Chris Woakes.
Another ominous sign for England is lower-order batters being destroyed by Australian bouncers.
It's difficult to understand the decision.
Jonathan Agnew was surprised by England's team. It was a really difficult decision to make. You can understand why you wouldn't want to risk James Anderson, even though he was fit to play.
Broad is fit and he has the sign over this top order. When he wasn't playing, what will Australia think?
Steven Finn said on the Test Match Special that England would have fancied their chances of getting through the first hour. There was evidence to suggest that the ball was skipping onto the bat after it lost its strength. I understand why England made that decision, but it hasn't worked out for them.
Pat Cummins said it was all going to plan so far. I'm proud of all of them. We were really composed. I was going to have a bat, but I wasn't upset to lose the toss. It was close.
