Australia looking steady at The Oval

Opening duo Chris Rogers and David Warner have helped Australia reach 82-0 at lunch on day one of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.

The tourists have looked steady with the bat so far, while England have struggled for inspiration with the ball.

The closest that England came to taking a wicket after winning the toss was when Rogers, who is playing his last Test, almost nicked a Ben Stokes delivery through to Jos Buttler.

Rogers finished the morning session on 27*, with Warner making his way to an unbeaten knock of 53.
