The ASHES

stumps on the second day, with Australia leading by 196. England fought hard for long periods of this day but end it in a miserable position, a long way behind in the game and struggling to find bowlers capable of getting through overs. There were injury concerns for Robinson and Stokes while Leach was hammered out of the attack. Warner set things up with a chancy 94, before Travis Head stole the show with a remarkable late onslaught in the final session. Thanks for joining us throughout the day, and we'll be back again tomorrow as Australia look to force a win within three days.
