Home side in complete control of first match of the series.
Australia has completed a near-perfect day of Test cricket after finishing on 65-0 in their second innings with the home side enjoying a massive lead of 224 runs over England.
Alastair Cook and his men started the day with hopes of building a lead of more than 100 after their bowling attack did what they were had to on day one.
Instead James Anderson and company were forced to bowl again for 25 overs, after their batting line-up collapsed frantically after lunch, losing 39-6.
