Ashes 2010: The best pictures from day one of the second Test

Australia have won the toss and will bat. That's advantage Ricky. Strauss called 'heads' but lucked out. Australia have made two changes, bringing Ryan Harris in for Ben Hilfenhaus and Doug Bollinger for Mitchell Johnson Photograph: Hamish Blair/Getty Images

WICKET! Katich 0 run out Trott (1st over: Australia 0-1) Got him! What a start! And what a shambles from Australia! Katich is run out withouy facing! Watson pushed the ball to mid-wicket and hared off for a quick single, but Katich didn't respond. Trott picked up and threw down the stumps with an insouciant but excellent throw from mid-wicket. I'd say more BUT... Photograph: Hamish Blair/Getty Images

WICKET! Ponting 0 c Swann b Anderson (Australia 0-2) Ponting has gone first ball! I don't believe it! An unbelievable start for England! Ponting has gone for a golden duck in his 150th Test and England have gone wild. Stop the clocks! Hold the front pages! Shout it from the rooftops! Australia are in utter disarray! It was a lovely ball from Anderson, full and swinging away. Ponting prodded at it and the ball moved just enough to take the edge and shot straight to second slip where Swann took the catch Photograph: Hamish Blair/Getty Images

WICKET! Clarke 2 c Swann b Anderson (3rd over: Australia 2-3) I'm delirious. I can hardly type. What did I say? "Win the toss and bat?" I should resign right now. At least then I could leave my computer and run screaming down the street. Anderson has another one! Anderson has bowled seven balls and taken two wickets for one run. It was a bad shot by Michael Clarke, trying to cream a straight drive down the ground. The ball was too good for him, swinging in and then seaming away. It was another edge, straight to second slip. England's fielders are running around screaming like little girls. Who can blame them. Australia are disintegrating Photograph: MICK TSIKAS/REUTERS

5th over: Australia 11-3 Just watching the highlights of the wickets so far, that really was magnificent cricket by England to remove Ponting - a perfect delivery, pitching on of and moving away, and the a brilliant diving catch by Swann, one handed to his right Photograph: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images

5th over: Australia 11-3 (Watson 7, Hussey 2) Hold on, they might have another one here - referral! Watson 7 LBW Anderson. The ball swung in, hitting the pad on the knee roll in front of middle stump. Umpire Hill shakes his head but England opt to refer it anyway. It was just a touch too high, Watson had got a big stride in and the ball would have passed over the top of middle stump. So that's decision upheld, so Watson bats on Photograph: MICK TSIKAS/REUTERS

7th over: Australia 14-3 (Watson 7, Hussey 5) Anderson fires in a brilliant yorker, which Hussey pats back down the wicket. In fact that's a drop from Anderson. He got his fingers to it, stretching his right arm down low to the turf to try and pluck the ball from the air. He got his fingers to it, but no more Photograph: WILLIAM WEST/AFP/Getty Images

24th over: Australia 82-3 (Watson 43, Hussey 32) After playing five dot balls from Graeme Swann, Watson gets sick of pussyfooting and lofts a majestic six away over mid-wicket. My word that's gone a long way Photograph: Scott Barbour/Getty Images

WICKET! Australia 96-4 (Watson c Pietersen b Anderson 50) This is a huge wicket for England, and a textbook dismissal on this Adelaide pitch. Anderson lured Watson into a big drive with a slightly wider delivery and the ball flew off the edge to gully, where Pietersen took a fine low catch to his left Photograph: MICK TSIKAS/REUTERS

38th over: Australia 120-4 (Hussey 51, North 10) Hussey sweeps Swann fine for three to bring up an extremely good half-century. He was finished two weeks ago, and now he's Australia's banker. This game, eh? Photograph: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images

43rd over: Australia 129-4 (Hussey 54, North 16) And that's drinks Photograph: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images

37th over: Australia 116-4 (Hussey 48, North 9) North defends watchfully against Anderson until he gets a wider delivery, which he laces classily through extra cover for four. He is such a beautiful driver, this bloke Photograph: WILLIAM WEST/AFP/Getty Images

WICKET! Australia 156-5 (North c Prior b Finn 26) Having topped the session with a bonus wicket, England tail it with one too. Marcus North, having done all the work, fiddled unnecessarily outside off stump at a nothing delivery from Finn and thin-edged it through to Prior Photograph: Hamish Blair/Getty Images

That was a horrible and ungainly shot from such a frequently graceful player, and England are right on top now Photograph: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images

WICKET! Hussey 93 c Collingwood b Swann (74th over: Australia 207-6) Well, nevermind the new ball. England may yet want to keep the old one. Swann has struck. Lovely bowling from him Photograph: MICK TSIKAS/REUTERS

Hussey's dismissal was a real gem. Swann was bowling around the wicket, and flighted the ball up on off stump. Hussey stretched out to meet it, then watched it turn away and snick off the outside edge of his bat. The catch flew to Collingwood Photograph: WILLIAM WEST/AFP/Getty Images

That was the best ball Swann has bowled all series Photograph: Scott Barbour/Getty Images

WICKET! Harris 0 LBW Swann (Australia 207-7) Swann's got him for a golden duck! Hasn't he? That looks stone dead. Or "salmon trout" as Warney has it. Umpire Erasmus' finger is up, but Harris has decided to review it Photograph: Scott Barbour/Getty Images

WICKET! Doherty 6 run out (80th Australia 227-8) This mob are a shambles. An utter shambles. Another farcical run out, as Doherty refuses to run for a quick single. He soon comes to regret that when the return throw comes in from Strauss and he's only half way down the wicket Photograph: Tom Shaw/Getty Images

WICKET! Haddin 56 c Finn b Broad (Australia 245 all out) Haddin has a huge hoick of a hook, and the ball sails high up into the air. Finn is underneath it at long leg, and takes a decent catch. The innings is over, and Australia have been routed Photograph: Tom Shaw/Getty Images
