Rain stopped play for a second time after 70 minutes of the opening session of the inaugural day-night Ashes test between England and Australia on Saturday. The second test got underway under leaden skies and a 10-minute break for a shower after 45 minutes was followed by a heavier downpour. Australia were 33 without loss after being put in to bat by England captain Joe Root. Earlier, Root won the toss and gambled on bowling first under ashen skies at the Adelaide Oval in the first day-night Ashes test against Australia on Saturday. Australia captain Steve Smith said he would have sent his unchanged side into bat had he won the toss.
