England's slip catching was superb on day one - but when Andrew Strauss edges between wicketkeeper Brad Haddin and first slip Shane Watson in the third over of day two, neither of them go for the catch
Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook put on 78 for the first wicket - but lose Cook for 32 when he edges left-arm paceman Mitchell Johnson to Mike Hussey at gully
Johnson, left out at Adelaide after a wicketless first Test in Brisbane, strikes again in his next over when he has Jonathan Trott trapped lbw for four - England are 82-2
Kevin Pietersen follows three balls later - also given out lbw to Johnson by umpire Marais Erasmus. Pietersen asks for a review but the decision review system (DRS) cannot save him
Skipper Strauss reaches his half century - his 22nd in Tests - from 95 balls, but perishes when he edges to the wicketkeeper, giving Ryan Harris his first wicket
Paul Collingwood is often England's saviour in a crisis - but he has made only five when Johnson has another strong lbw appeal. Umpire Erasmus shakes his head, but Collingwood is given out on the DRS
Johnson takes the congratulations for his four-wicket burst as England limp to 119-5 at lunch, still 149 behind Australia with half their wickets gone
Peter Siddle picks up his first wicket since Brisbane when Matt Prior is bowled off his body as he tries to force the ball to leg; England are 145-6
England then lose their last four wickets for six runs - Johnson collects his fifth wicket when he removes Tremlett's off stump
Mitchell Johnson leads Australia off the field after finishing with figures of 6-38, as England are skittled for 187; Australia lead by 81 on first innings. Ryan Harris finishes with 3-59
Australia make a strong start and Steven Finn's first over is plundered for 14 runs, but the Middlesex seamer bounces back to have opener Phillip Hughes caught by Paul Collingwood at third slip for 12
Ricky Ponting falls cheaply again, after he is given not out when England appeal for a catch behind down the leg side - but England call for a review and Ponting is given out on the DRS, despite indicating he had not hit it
Michael Clarke makes 20 from 18 balls but becomes Chris Tremlett's fourth wicket of the match - and the 13th of the day - when he chops onto his stumps; Australia are 64-3
Opener Shane Watson passes fifty and is 61 not out at the close, with Mike Hussey unbeaten on 24, as Australia finish day two on 119-3 - exactly 200 ahead of England
