English wicketkeeper Jos Buttler was at full extension in an effort to see Australian opener Marcus Harris depart early on Day 1 of the second Ashes Test in Adelaide.

Buttler, 31, read the left-hander's failed pull shot to perfection and proved good enough to hold onto the pink ball as he tumbled triumphantly down the leg side.

Harris' departure capped a sublime opening 12 over period for the tourists in which they leaked just 15 runs after losing the toss and being asked to bowl first in the City of Churches.

This tortoise-like start from the hosts is their slowest jump from the blocks on home soil in almost a quarter of a century, per comments from Adam Collins on SEN.

After scoring a combined 11 runs from 27 balls across both innings in Brisbane last week, the Harris' latest top-order falter could spell danger ahead of the Boxing Day Test given Usman Khawaja's consistent presses for selection.

Despite England's upper hand during the opening session of the day-night Test, the Three Lions have already excitedly burnt a pair of their reviews.

Marnus Labuschange and David Warner are currently at the crease with first and second change bowling options in Ollie Robinson and Chris Woakes delivering them the pink ball.
