England appears to be recovering from a nervous start in the 2010 Ashes series down under which saw them lose their captain Strauss for a duck to the third ball of the day.
Cooke, batting doggedly, made it through to lunch but Trott, who replaced Strauss, after playing some attacking legside shots was bowled by a beauty from Watson, that drew him forward and nipped through between bat and pad.
Pietersen is presently 29 not out and looking in ominous form.
