Nottingham: England were 80 for two in their second innings, a lead of 15 runs, at stumps on the second day of the first Ashes Test against Australia at Trent Bridge.
Australia debutant Ashton Agar posted the highest score by a number 11 in Test history as the tourists enjoyed the better of an extraordinary and controversial day of Ashes cricket.
After walking out to bat with his team in deep trouble at 117-9, the 19-year-old cracked a fearless 98 off 101 balls before holing out to deep midwicket.
His last-wicket partnership of 163 with Phil Hughes (81 not out) was the highest in Test history and lifted Australia to 280 all out, a first-innings lead of 65.
Mitchell Starc then removed Joe Root and Jonathan Trott in successive balls to put Australia firmly on top at tea with England on 11-2.
But Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen batted carefully, and with increasing authority, through the evening session to steer the hosts to 80-2 for a slender lead of 15.
Agar's heroics aside, Trott's dismissal provided the day's main talking point as third umpire Marais Erasmus overturned Aleem Dar's not out decision to what appeared a clear-cut lbw dismissal, one ball after Root had been caught by keeper Brad Haddin down the leg side.
Trott, however, clearly believed the ball had brushed his bat and it later emerged that the HotSpot camera that would have provided the crucial side-on angle did not record the moment because it was playing out a replay of Root's dismissal.
n angry England camp responded by asking match referee Ranjan Madugalle for clarification over the incident.
The dispute should not be allowed to overshadow an incredible innings by Agar, which surpassed West Indian Tino Best's 95 at number 11 against an England attack missing the rested James Anderson and Stuart Broad at Edgbaston last year.
Having arrived at the crease with the Australian innings in tatters, following a dramatic 32-ball spell in which five wickets fell for nine runs, he proceeded to repair the damage in breathtaking style.

In the following over, however, Smith nicked a beauty from Anderson to Matt Prior to initiate the collapse.
Haddin was bowled through the gate by Swann, while Peter Siddle and Starc were both caught behind, outfoxed by the variations of the peerless Anderson, who finished with figures of 5-85.
When Swann trapped Pattinson lbw for two, Australia were in deep trouble, 98 runs adrift with just their last man to come.
That last man was Agar, a name that would soon be familiar to cricket-lovers around the world.
