Adelaide: England tore into the Australia top order late on the third day of the second Ashes Test to give themselves faint hope of a remarkable escape in Adelaide.

Peter Handscomb was on three with nightwatchman Nathan Lyon not out also at three after Australia, holding a 215-run innings lead, did not enforce the follow on.

Earlier, Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon finished with four wickets to claim the bowling honours as the hosts dismissed England for 227 shortly after dinner.

Lyon took 4-60 from 24.1 overs, including the wickets of Stuart Broad and James Anderson after dinner, to help his side to a 215-run lead on the first innings.

Joe Root's side resumed at 1-29 on Monday, having sent Australia in then watched Shaun Marsh power the hosts to a total of 8 (dec)-442.

Instead they crumbled to 7-142 before Craig Overton and Chris Woakes finally showed some resistance in a 66-run stand.

Overton (41*), Woakes (36) and Alastair Cook (37) were the only batsmen to pass 25 in an innings that spanned 76.1 overs.
