Ben Stokes took two wickets on his return to action as England finally began their last Ashes warm-up match against England Lions in Brisbane.
The all-rounder dismissed Zak Crawley for 45 and Chris Woakes for 13 in claiming 2-31 from 10 overs.
It was Stokes’ first appearance since he took a break from cricket in July to protect his mental wellbeing.
The Lions closed on 226-4 at the Ian Healy Oval, the first two days of the four-day match having been washed out.
Stokes was part of the England side for the opening three-day tour game, but did not take to the field as only 29 overs were possible because of rain.
