Storms bring an end to proceedings on the fourth day of the first Ashes Test match between Australia and England in Brisbane.

A storm of torrential hailstones has forced the players off the field before tea in the first Ashes Test match between England and Australia in Brisbane.

Any help from the elements will do for the tourists, who are 142-4 in the second innings at The Gabba - 561 runs behind Darren Lehmann's charges.

Ian Bell is the only man to fall since lunch, edging Peter Siddle to Brad Haddin after making 32 from 70 balls.

Kevin Pietersen (26) was dismissed in the first session of the day when chasing a short ball from Mitchell Johnson.

Alastair Cook brought up his 33rd Test half-ton and remains unbeaten at the crease on 65 from 193, partnered by Joe Root (6).

The grey skies have now cleared, as has the thunder and lightning, and the ground staff are working to prepare the turf as the players take an early tea.
