Edgbaston was rocking on the opening day of the first Ashes Test between England and Australia.
The Birmingham ground is renowned as one of the most hostile in world cricket, even if visiting skipper Tim Paine does not agree.
The supporters in the Hollies Stand, led by the Barmy Army, were in full voice and, here, PA takes a look at how the day unfolded in the stands.
Morning session
Opening pair Warner and Bancroft were greeted to chants of “cheats, cheats, cheats” when they walked out to the crease, but songs involving England skipper Joe Root and seamer James Anderson seemed to be louder.
Warner’s dismissal, lbw to Stuart Broad for two, saw many fans wave what seemed to be pieces of sandpaper in the air, in reference to the ball-tampering in South Africa last year.
Afternoon session
Chants of “Barmy Army” rang around Edgbaston shortly after the lunch interval, when Chris Woakes dismissed Travis Head.
Just after that, around 2.10pm, the Hollies Stand started to warm up as England took control with a splattering of wickets which were greeted with shouts of “cheerio”.
The Australian fans woke up, cheering as their star batsman kept his wicket, but the home supporters responded with “we forgot that you were here”.
But one of the loudest moments of the day arrived when Paine, 24 hours after criticising Edgbaston, holed out in the deep in embarrassing fashion for just five.
Evening session
When the action resumed, they continued to be in fine voice despite seeing Smith and Peter Siddle rack up a ninth-wicket stand of 88.
Whistling and hissing met an attempted Smith slog off Ben Stokes, leading to more “cry in a minute” chants, before the “hokey, cokey” rang out.
Rory Burns defended the first ball of the innings, off Pat Cummins, to cheers and the England fans loudly applauded the first runs prior to a heartfelt rendition of Jerusalem.
