  1. The Paine gamepublished at 11:31 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2017

    Tim Paine took a couple of blows to the hand but stood firm as he frustrated England by putting on 85 with Shaun Marsh.

    The Aussie wicketkeeper hit six fours and the first six of the hosts' innings as he took the game to the tourists.

    He eventually went when he holed out to Moeen Ali on the boundary off the bowling of Craig Overton. That left Aussies on 294-6.

  2. England fail to build on promising startpublished at 11:26 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2017

    It looked good for England when Stuart Broad took the wicket of Peter Handscomb with the third ball of the day to leave Australia on 209-5.

    Handscomb's technique may not be pretty but he made 36 before his exit with a delivery that jagged back on his pads.

    It was Broad's first wicket of the match but the flurry of wickets England hoped for did not materialise.

    We are in reaction and recap territory now after day two of the second Test and it's fair to say England have their backs against the wall.

    Let's start by rewinding back to the start of the day and take it from there.

    So, England will resume on 29-1 tomorrow morning. We'll be here from the early hours - 3am, to be precise - as they try and get somewhere near Australia's total.

    That's it from me for the day.

    All of the Australian batsmen got in. Tim Paine played really well. He came out and when the ball was doing plenty he brought positivity and created momentum.

    Australian know if they see off one or two spells from Broad and Anderson runs will come. England don't have pace. Craig Overton was bowling 78mph. He bowled OK and has got a future in the England side but you are asking young lad to bowl bouncers and it is impossible.

    England will have to be motivated. This is the highest score in a day-night Test at Adelaide. They're going to need some big innings.

  9. Postpublished at 11:08 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2017

    England coach Trevor Bayliss on TMS: "It's always dangerous under lights so it's good to get away with only one wicket.

    "We've got a lot of hard work to do but our guys are motivated to get some big runs. It's starting to get a bit flatter as the game goes on. We're going to have to bat well to do it."

    England didn't bowl well. They bowled 1.6m shorter than Australia and that is the problem. When you win the toss and bowl you have got to make sure you capitalise and bowl the right length.

    The pitch is playing well. The batsman should feel they can get runs but Bayliss has got to protect his team. He has to stay tight to his captain but when the opponent scores 442-8, you have to say a different decision would have made it easier.

  11. Bowling first wasn't a mistake - Baylisspublished at 11:03 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2017

    England coach Trevor Bayliss on the decision to bowl first: "I don't think it was a mistake.

    "We bowled very well. We beat the bat. We did bowl a bit short early on, but you can't pitch everything up - if you do, the batters get used to it."

    On the make-up of the bowling attack: "That's what we've got. That's our challenge, to take wickets. I'd love to be able to click my fingers and turn them into 160mph bowlers overnight.

    "But we've got quality bowlers. We went past the edge of the bat. On another day, another two or three nicks and it might be a completely different story."

    The key to England's batting is Alastair Cook. If he finds form and confidence and bats a long time, then England will get good scores.

    If Australia get Cook cheaply then it is all on Root and then from number seven downwards, there are not going to be too many balls left in the innings. It is down to the top seven and Cook has to be that rock.

  14. Postpublished at 10:58 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2017

    We shouldn't write England off straight away. Alastair Cook is still there, and he's key for England tomorrow. His last two first-class centuries have also come in day-night matches, first at county level and then in the Test against West Indies.

    Australia's Shaun Marsh, who made an unbeaten 126, on TMS: "There's a lot of relief there. I'm just really happy.

    "I just tried not worry about too many other distractions. I've been hitting the ball really well and going out there and having a bit of fun. I'm just trying to be as relaxed as I possibly can and not putting too much pressure on myself."

    On criticism of his inclusion in the squad: "I didn't read a thing. I knew there was some extra noise but I just stayed away and focused on preparing well."

    Shaun Marsh played a superb innings but I thought Tim Paine was excellent as well. Smashed twice on his dodgy finger, he played patiently and then counter-attacked, and he only fell because he picked out the fielder on the boundary. Pat Cummins was brilliant once again in support of Marsh. That is such a big difference between these two sides.

    The problem for England is they couldn't get a cluster of wickets. You have to say Shaun Marsh played the innings Steve Smith played last week. He nullified the bowling by playing late. He had a bit of fortune but he got away with that. The problem for England - and we will find it in the whole series - is if one of their top six hangs around, you trust the tail to hang in with them.

    England coach Trevor Bayliss on the possibility of seamer Mark Wood being added to the squad for the third Test in Perth: "We haven't spoken about it. Before we contemplate that, he's got to show his match fitness. He has come through a match for the Lions."

  19. Postpublished at 10:49 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2017

    Three of England's four seamers bowled over 30 overs. Craig Overton took three wickets on his debut - including the prized one of Steven Smith last night - while there was one for James Anderson and Chris Woakes, and two for Stuart Broad.

    James Welsh: Time to be optimistic. We bat well and save this Test. Take a draw in Perth too. One win from last two Tests retains the Ashes.
