Home side in control of first game of the summer.
Australia has a stranglehold on proceedings after two sessions of play in the first Test match of the Ashes series.
England suffered a stunning collapse as they lost 39-6 in the session as they struggled to get past the follow-on, much less build on their solid start to the day.
