ENGLAND v AUSTRALIA DAY TWO OF THE THIRD TEST SNAPSHOT

STATE OF PLAY: Australia 179 and 6-171 England 67 - Australia lead by 283.

MAN OF THE DAY: Josh Hazlewood. An outstanding display of line and length bowling saw the Bendemeer Express demolish the English batting line-up as he finished with figures of 5-30.

KEY MOMENT: A second successive duck for England skipper Joe Root following the early dismissal of Jason Roy led to a stunning collapse of 8-47 as Australia put one hand on the Ashes urn.

STAT OF THE DAY: England's pitiful batting display was their lowest score against Australia since 1948 when they were rolled for 52 by Don Bradman's Invincibles at The Oval.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "This f***ing game," - a despairing Ben Stokes, who bowled superbly for little luck for 15 successive overs, after being edged through the slips by Matthew Wade as Australia extended their lead to almost 300.
