England went into day 2 hoping to keep Australia to a middling total, but an excellent comeback century helped move Australia to a score of 416/8d. Broad's 5-fer kept England just about in it, who had 5 overs to negotiate before the close of play - which they did, by the barest of margins - leaving them with the task for batting as long as they can on day 3 and hoping the rain does the rest. How w...

But it was the same old s...
