Here he is, the (young) man of the moment, Ashton Agar Photograph: Ryan Pierse/Getty Images

Pietersen reaches his half century with some steady batting, but just six overs later he's gone when James Pattinson skittles his middle stump Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Soon after, Agar gets his first Test wicket – and what's more he's got the England captain. Cook was caught by Clarke on 50, leaving England on 131-4 Photograph: Tom Jenkins

And here's the catch that got him - what a peach! Photograph: Tom Jenkins/Tom Jenkins

Another England wicket falls as Jonny Bairstow feathers a ball that turned quite sharply from outside off-stump and into Brad Haddin's grateful hands Photograph: Tom Jenkins

It's that (young) man again - Ashton Agar celebrates his second wicket of the day Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Prior starts to rack up the runs and reaches 31 before he gets a top edge on a Peter Siddle delivery and the ball flies straight to Ed Cowan at midwicket, who takes the catch Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Ian Bell reaches his half century and receives an ovation. At tea England are 230-6 Photograph: Tom Jenkins

A quick scamper between the stumps by Bell and Broad gives England some more runs Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Stuart Broad survives a big shout from the Aussies as he appears to edge one behind which is caught by Michael Clarke, after deflecting off the wicket keeper's gloves. Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Umpire Aleem Dar is unmoved, as is Broad (who doesn't walk even though he knows full well he edged the ball). The Australians are flustered, but they don't have any reviews left Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Just look at their faces! They are outraged. But Broad is under no obligation to walk and so, controversially, play must go on. No doubt Broad feels this balances out the undeserved dismissal of Trott yesterday Photograph: Nick Potts/PA

England fans are enjoying themselves and are forming a large "beer snake", as England trundle past the 300-run marker Photograph: Tom Jenkins

England reach 326-6 at the close of play and the Aussie captain looks dejected with that scoreline Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Bell has 95 not out and Broad 47 not out Photograph: Tom Jenkins

talking points a plenty after another entertaining day of cricket. England have the upper hand, one would think. Photograph: Tom Jenkins
