Australia to win + Joe Root to score 1st inns century + Josh Hazlewood most Aus wkts 1st inns + Alastair Cook under 36.5 runs 1st inns at 33/1

Australia to win

Australia have won 13 of their last 15 at the Gabba, England haven’t won here since 1986.

Joe Root to score 1st inns century

Has scored six of his 13 Test hundreds in the first Test of a series. Centuries in his first innings of the last three series – including both as captain – as well as in the first innings of the 2015 Ashes.

Josh Hazlewood most Aus wkts 1st inns

Conditions likely to suit metronomic Hazlewood more than Mitchell Starc; accurate seamer can expose England’s rookies.

Alastair Cook under 36.5 runs 1st inns

Poor overall record against Australia despite 2010/11 heroics. Has come in under 36.5 in 38 of 55 innings against the old enemy.
