Can't help but worry a little even early on. Trott could go cheaply, which is possible considering his record there, it'll be tough for Root, Bell's not in great form, and I don't think Bairstow is going to be up to much. I'd probably rather have Bresnan in for Bairstow and Prior bumped up the order, though that was never gonna happen

What about Peterson at 4?

Decent start for England. Australia's strength, such that it is, is definitely in the bowling area, so if England get anything close to 350 in the first innings, that should see a pretty healthy lead.

If they can see it out to lunch with Trott and Root still there, will be an excellent first morning for them.
