England's top order needs to fight through a tricky early session with Australia's bowlers sniffing blood on day three in Adelaide. Follow the action live.
Russell Jackson cast his eye over all of day two for us, but particularly Steve Smith who has seemingly returned to the Australian captaincy seamlessly.

Before play had even begun on day two, Shane Warne called it "one of the biggest redemption stories in Australian sporting history", although to be fair, in the list of topics on which Warne can offer expert analysis, that one is up there with leg-spin and pizza toppings.
