Australia tightened their grip on the Ashes on Day 2 in Adelaide as England's Bazball bravado collapsed once again. After Australia were bowled out for 371, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon returned with venom, ripping through England's top order on a hot, flat pitch that should have favoured batting. England's frustrations were compounded by ongoing DRS and Snicko controversies, internal tensions, and another disjointed batting display, leaving them eight wickets down and still trailing heavily. With Cummins' leadership, Lyon's milestone moment, and England staring down a likely 3–0 deficit, this Test — and tour — is slipping rapidly out of their control. Key Timecodes (1:25) Australia bowled out for 371 and early assessment of conditions and England's opportunity (3:30) Cummins and Lyon return, early wickets, and Lyon passes Glenn McGrath (5:00) DRS/Snicko controversy, Carey admission, and England's legitimate grievances (11:45) England's collapse before lunch and Cummins' dominance over Joe Root Cricket Unfiltered Merchandise is Here!

The dramatic tale of the third Ashes Test of 2005, told through the players eyes - featuring Michael Vaughan, Freddie Flintoff, Andrew Strauss, Simon Jones, Glenn McGrath, Justin Langer and Adam Gilchrist. A gripping, tense encounter which built to such a climax that the Old Trafford ground was full by 9am on the fifth day with 20,000 people locked out. And despite England's brilliant efforts with bat (Vaughan and Strauss) and ball (Flintoff and especially Jones with some sensational deliveries ) they could not quite break Australia's resolve. In perhaps his finest innings, Ricky Ponting resisted England for six hours on the final day until dismissed, ninth out with four overs to go. But Australia's last pair of Brett Lee and McGrath held out to keep the series score poised at 1-1 with two to play.
