Skipper Pat Cummins: Skipper Pat Cummins (3-54) and Nathan Lyon (2-51) led a dominant bowling show at the Adelaide Oval, reducing England to 213/8 in reply to their 371 on Day 2 of the third Test here on Thursday.

England appeared to be in a strong position after claiming the two wickets required to bowl Australia out for 371 on the second morning, but the visitors were reduced to 213-8, trailing Australia by 158 runs.

Starc and Nathan Lyon started from where they left off on Day 1 and took their overnight score of 326-8 to 344 in just two overs into the first session. Courtesy of his boundary-hitting spree, Starc reached his half-century off just 73 deliveries.
