Eng 17-2published at 9 overs
The first ball jags past Malan's outside edge. Australian ooohs and aaahs echo around the ground but Malan doesn't seem remotely fussed.
He defends the next one solidly to conclude the over.

The players are in the middle and Dawid Malan will face the first ball of the day.
Debutant Michael Neser, who claimed Haseeb Hameed as his first Test wicket yesterday, has two balls left of his over as it was interrupted by a lightning bolt last night.

Conditions couldn't be more different than the tricky period England had to contend with last night.
Here's why play was abandoned early yesterday. What a picture!

It feels like today is England's one and only chance to save this Test and potentially, the Ashes. Ben Stokes said yesterday there are no 'demons' in the pitch, there's no Cummins or Hazlewood, it is warm and bright sunshine in Adelaide.
No pressure, then.

BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match SpecialIf England don't bat well in these conditions on a pitch that isn't doing very much, what more can they ask for?
As far as conditions go this is as good as you can expect.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIf England can get through the initial phase they have a chance of batting through this day but after the two wickets last night Australia will come out hard.

Ben Stokes took three Australian wickets yesterday, putting in an immense shift for England as he so often does.
And he's still optimistic, as you can read about here, so maybe we should be too.

It was another tough day for England yesterday as they grafted for what felt like 300 overs before losing both their openers early.
If you missed any of it, here's some highlights to enjoy before day three gets underway.

Morning!
If you've made it up for the third day in a row, I'm impressed. I'm trying not to think about how long it's going to take for my sleeping pattern to recover, to be honest.
Anyway, we're back a little earlier after lightning stopped play yesterday (standard). A reminder that England are 17-2, trailing Australia by a mere ... 456 runs.
