Check out the status of the game at the first break.
England have reached 24-0 in reply to Australia’s first innings total of 385 as play reaches lunch on day two of the third Test match.
The English got the perfect start to the day when a good ball from Stuart Broad moved away from Mitchell Johnson, giving Matt Prior an easy catch.
The Australian all-rounder departed without adding to his overnight score as the home side fell to be 326-7.
And after copping a public spray from their bowling coach David Saker after day one, the England quicks responded well early.
