Ashes 2010: The best pictures of day one of the first Test

Up goes the coin ahead of the first Test. Andrew Strauss wins the toss for England and, to no great surprise, chooses to bat Photograph: Hamish Blair/Getty Images Strauss and Ricky Ponting lead their teams onto the field in Brisbane - Ponting proudly sporting his baggy green Photograph: WILLIAM WEST/AFP/Getty Images It's an horrendous start for England as Strauss cuts to gully off the third ball of the match where he's caught by Michael Hussey Photograph: DANIEL MUNOZ/REUTERS Hilfenhaus, whose delivery tempted Strauss, celebrates his dream start... Photograph: Rick Rycroft/AP ... and is mobbed by his teammates Photograph: DAVE HUNT/EPA Jonathan Trott steps in to partner Alastair Cook, but Trott plays an ugly shot against Shane Watson and his stumps are duly removed. He's out for 29; England are 41-2 Photograph: Hamish Blair/Getty Images Watson wheels away after taking his first Ashes wicket Photograph: STEVE HOLLAND/EPA Ricky Ponting and Kevin Pietersen chew the fat Photograph: DAVE HUNT/EPA Pietersen slips while whipping Mitchell Johnson for four Photograph: Rick Rycroft/AP He's played fluently for his 43, but Peter Siddle gets him caught by Ponting Photograph: Rick Rycroft/AP Siddle celebrates the wicket, which ends a third-wicket partnership of 76 Photograph: Tertius Pickard/AP Paul Collingwood lasts only eight balls before snicking Siddle to third slip. Nonetheless, Ian Bell's arrival prompts another strong partnership as he and Cook push England to the brink of 200 Photograph: Rick Rycroft/AP Shortly before the drinks break in the final session, Cook is caught at slip for 67 off Siddle's delivery. Watson takes the catch, but Ponting is living every second of it as well Photograph: Jason O'Brien/Action Images Matt Prior falls the very next ball, clean bowled for a golden duck. Siddle senses a hat-trick opportunity ... Photograph: DAVE HUNT/EPA And he gets it! Unbelievable. Another full-length delivery traps Stuart Broad lbw. That's only the second hat-trick by an Australian in Ashes cricket in the last 100 years, and it's the first since Shane Warne's in Melbourne in 1994 Photograph: Ryan Pierse/Getty Images Fifty-odd delighted Australians rise to their feet ... One bemused Englishman sheepishly takes his seat Photograph: Cameron Spencer/Getty Images That really has knocked the wind out of England who, predicatbly, can't seem to recover. Siddle soon grabs his sixth wicket by trapping Graeme Swann. England, who were at one stage closing on 200 for four, are now on 228-8 Photograph: Rick Rycroft/AP Ian Bell's dismissal for 76 leaves only James Anderson and Steve Finn standing. They add a further six runs before Doherty takes his second wicket (Anderson's) to terminate the innings. England are all out for 260 Photograph: Gareth Copley/PA Australia begins their innings with Watson and Simon Katich at the crease. Here, Katich plays a shot beyond the reach of Broad as Australia make 25-0 by the close of play on day one Photograph: Steve Holland/EPA
