Ashes 2013-14: England take a pummeling from Australia on day two
With England's bowlers needing to fire on day two, Ben Stokes gets what he thinks is the first wicket of the day - that of Brad Haddin. But the third umpire rules that Stokes had overstepped, and so his first Test wicket is chalked offPhotograph: Robert Cianflone/Getty ImagesAfter a bit of argy-bargy, play resumesPhotograph: David Gray/ReutersBy early afternoon, Michael Clarke and Haddin have racked up a 150-run partnership. Australia are on 409-5. This is looking miserable for EnglandPhotograph: Jason O'Brien/Action Images
Clarke survives a run out attempt by Monty Panesar from Michael Carberry's fast fielding, but soon afterwards England have their man. He's caught by James Anderson at mid-wicket off Stokes' delivery.

Stuart Broad duly catches the new batsman, Mitchell Johnson, off Swann, to leave Australia on 474-7. Then Stokes gets his second wicket of the day - Peter Siddle, caught by Matt Prior - to make it 483-8Photograph: Quinn Rooney/Getty ImagesHaddin is finally dismissed after scoring 118. He's given Australia a solid platform from which to go on and win this Test - and perhaps the series.
