The Ashes third Test, day two AS IT HAPPENED: England finishes 8-213 at stumps; Snicko drama escalates as Aussies strangle England; Nathan Lyon overtakes Glenn McGrath on Test wickets leaderboard

Thanks for tuning into Wide World of Sports' LIVE coverage of day two of the third Test.

In his press conference, Nathan Lyon refused to comment on DRS while England's Marcus Trescothick didn't offer much and said "it is what it is".

Catch you next time!

ADELAIDE: That's stumps at the Adelaide Oval.

There's been DRS drama and 10 wickets in total after Australia started the day with the bat.

England's batting hasn't been up to standard at all and any hopes of winning the series are hanging by a threat.

England finishes 8-213 with Stokes on 45 and Jofra Archer 30 not out.

ADELAIDE: Ben Stokes is now 45 off 145 balls.

He's the only batter across the series who has looked capable of holding off Australia's bowlers with a defensive approach, apart from Joe Root when he scored a century.

The run rate is 3.18 with three minutes left, something Fox Cricket commentator Michael Vaughan described as "unheard of" in the Bazball era.

And that's the 200 up for England as Ben Stokes prods a Pat Cummins ball into the cover-point region and nabs a single.

The English are 8-200 and still trailing by 171, after the Aussies were bowled out today for 371.

Stokes has made 41 from 132 and Jofra Archer 21 from 29.

The 42-degree Adelaide heat is getting to Ben Stokes, who momentarily has a towel draped over his head as he gets some fluids in and reapplies sunscreen.

The skipper is on one knee and sucking in the big ones.

He's also been hobbling between the wickets, though whether that's because of cramps or injury is unclear.

He's on 33 from 121 balls.

Another wicket falls as Scott Boland defeats Brydon Carse!

The bowling all-rounder tries to defend on the back foot and Boland sneaks the ball through, crashing middle and off.

Carse departs for a five-ball duck as the English slip to 8-168.

Ben Stokes has batted very cautiously until this point, taking 115 balls to make 31.

Is it time to go for the tonk?

Jofra Archer is the new man in.

This could be a hiding.

The English are now 7-168, and are still 203 runs behind, after Scott Boland claims the wicket of Will Jacks for 6.

Alex Carey produced another sublime piece of glove work keeping up to the stumps, gobbling up a ricochet from Jacks' bat and body.

Brydon Carse walks out to join Ben Stokes, who's on 31.

Snicko has tossed up another dodgy reading and on this occasion Jamie Smith has to pay the price.

It's far from conclusive that the ball caught Smith's bat as he attempted to pull Pat Cummins, but Snicko reveals a spike and the wicketkeeper-batter is given out.

"That's a decision that's going to be spoken about and written about for a long while," Adam Gilchrist says on Fox Cricket.

Smith trudges off shaking his head and Stokes, unbeaten on 28, shakes his head, too, visibly filthy.

Smith is out for 22. England is 6-159. The visitors, already 0-2 down in the series, are likely headed for a considerable first-innings deficit.

The hits keep coming for Snicko.

A day after Alex Carey admitted he got bat on ball when he was on 72, despite Snicko suggesting otherwise, the technology has not picked up a possible Jamie Smith glove.

The ball didn't carry to Usman Khawaja at first slip but the Aussies think it did, and they are baffled when told by umpire Nitin Menon that the ball hit Smith's helmet rather than his glove.

"Snicko needs to be sacked!" Mitchell Starc was heard saying on the stump mic.

The boss of Snicko operator BBG Sports, Warren Brennan, said in a statement about the Carey reprieve that his company took "full responsibility".

There have been no signs of Bazball in this innings of Ben Stokes', who in a tenacious knock has grinded out 24 from 88 balls.

Wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith has played some flashy shots, and enjoyed some fortune, despite coming in when England was 5-127, but Stokes is battening down the hatches.

Joe Root, who peeled off an unbeaten 138 in Brisbane, is the only Englishman who's made a ton on this tour.

Stokes needs to get there in this knock.
