London: England finished day two teetering at 8-107 in reply to Australia's first innings of 481 after an incredible collapse of 6-32 late in the day at The Oval on Friday.
A brilliant spell from Peter Siddle has sparked a stunning England collapse and put Australia in complete control of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.
England finished day two teetering at 8-107 in reply to Australia's first innings of 481 after an incredible collapse of 6-32 late in the day.
Steve Smith's 11th Test hundred and a blazing half-century from Mitchell Starc had powered the tourists to a big first innings total despite a mini-collapse on the stroke of lunch.
Nathan Lyon had started the procession of England wickets just before the tea break with a lovely delivery to remove captain Alastair Cook.
Siddle then chimed in with the wicket of Adam Lyth and produced a stunning ball of his own to clean bowl Ian Bell for 10 as part of a brilliant spell of 1-9 from six overs.
Mitchell Marsh then had dangerman Joe Root caught behind for 6 before Mitchell Johnson had Jonny Bairstow caught on the square leg boundary for 13.
Lyon then picked up Jos Buttler for 1 - the fourth time he's dismissed him in this series - before Marsh removed Ben Stokes and Stuart Broad to leave England's innings in tatters.
Earlier, contrasting knocks from Steve Smith and Mitchell Starc helped Australia post an impressive first-innings total of 481 in the fifth Ashes Test.
In reply, England are 1-30 at tea after Nathan Lyon produced a beautiful delivery to remove Alastair Cook for 22.
Smith, who resumed day two on 78, fell for 143 after lunch having put an incredibly high price on his wicket for 394 minutes before playing on to Steve Finn.
Finn and Ben Stokes both bowled well in the morning, when Moeen Ali snagged two wickets in the space of three balls as England fought back in the dead rubber.
Starc then hammered home the tourists' advantage, which was built slowly and surely after Cook sent them in on day one.
The tailender's half-century came in 51 minutes, the best of his 10 boundaries being a lofted six back over the head of offspinner Ali.
Starc was dropped on 39 by Mark Wood at square leg before Stokes trapped him lbw on 58.
The 91-run stand between Smith and Starc was Australia's highest eight-wicket partnership at the venue, while Smith became the first Australian since Matthew Elliott in 1997 to score 500 runs in a UK Ashes series.
