Ashes - Day 2, Melbourne


England get themselves back into the driving seat by rattling Australia, 84 for 5 is looking like a good spell of bowling will help us recover. However, this is England we are talking about so it goes downhill and they fail to capitalise. 153 runs to Hayden and 154 to Symonds mean that this game, as with the series, remains firmly in the grip of Australia.

Chris Read is doing well, with 4 catches, and justifying replacing Geraint Jones. Strauss and Read may look happy here dismissing Clarke but, who can deny it, that sight screen is telling a lie if you are an England supporter.
