australia captain pat cummins isolating, steve smith back in the job he once left in tears and a cheatingspring recoiled, the scene reset, australia rebuilt. england needed a moment. was that it? 0h! shane had scored just 21, paul butler had front row seats to watch him and david warner bat on. both past 50. perhaps england were waiting for sunset for conditions to change, but these are not the faces of optimistic men. so few imagined that one, a pantomime villain five runs from his 100... would do that. his heart sank, theirs lifted. but the polls did not quicken the game for some time, shame scoring carefully and sparingly, perhaps remembering this was his second chance. and yet, against the new ball he would get a third. he is gone! butler dropped one! reprieved again on 95. for buttler, and for england, this was a day that went slowly downhill. patrick gearey, bbc news. there's plenty more on the bbc sport website including website)all the latest on the draw for the league phase of next years uefa nations league — that's bbc.co.uk/sport , but that's all the sport for now. a full rundo

jimmy anderson bowled steve smith forjust 16.scott boland, england 82 runs behind ahead of the second innings. well, we can speak now to australian journalist adam collins who is at the mcg. every time we've spoken you've had a great big australian grin on your face, not so much today. what have england on right? it's quite nice to tell you england have had a good day at the office. we were worried we wouldn't have a second day but they probably needed to bowl out australia in the space of two sessions to wrest back parity. they've done so in five hours, they are 82 runs behind. it would take something special to win a test match but at least they played the first hurdle, bowling out australia inside a day. 11—33. beautiful support from mark wood who bowled so quickly of the top. jack leachisin bowled so quickly of the top. jack leach is in the series which is a significant point after the way he was taking two at brisbane. there is some hope for england as they start their second innings.— some hope for england as they start the
