Australia captain Pat Cummins took 4 wickets as England’s middle-order collapsed on Day 2 of the fifth Ashes Test at Hobart.

Morning Session

Resuming on 241/6, the hosts would add 5 to their overnight score before Mitchell Starc would be caught out at square leg by Rory Burns off the bowling of Mark Wood for 3 with captain Pat Cummins following soon after, Zak Crawley getting his fourth catch of the innings off the same bowler for 2. Alex Carey would be the ninth wicket to fall, bowled by Chris Woakes, for 24 before Nathan Lyon (pictured below) would be bowled by Stuart Broad for 31 off 26 balls with Scott Boland 10 not out – Australia finishing with 303 all out.

England would lose Burns as he was run out by Marnus Labuschagne without scoring before Crawley would be caught at short leg by Travis Head off the bowling of Cummins for 18 – Dawid Malan and Joe Root getting to 9 and 3 not out respectively as England were 34/2.
