Michael Clarke carries on where he left off on day one and is soon playing his shots freely Photograph: Tom Jenkins

The England players are celebrating again soon afterwards when David Warner edged the ball onto Matt Prior's gloves, and the ball looped up to Jonathan Trott at slip. The Australians wasted a review by getting the TV umpire to have a look at it when it was such an obvious catch Photograph: Tom Jenkins

In between avoiding bouncers from Stuart Broad, Clarke passes the 150 mark Photograph: Tom Jenkins

He gets to 187 then Broad gets the ball to leap into Clarke's chest, and as he rocks backwards the ball hits the handle of his bat and clumps the stumps Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Clarke's replacement, Peter Siddle, only manages to notch up one run before Greame Swann smacks a delivery into the off stump for his fifth wicket of the innings Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Brad Haddin carries on where his captain left off and in no time has a half-century to his name Photograph: Tom Jenkins

A tired Jimmy Anderson falls over while bowling. It's not a good day for the England bowlers, with the exception of Graeme Swann – they're all getting smacked around the ground by the Aussies Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Early in England's innings Clarke brings Nathan Lyon into the attack and he's bowling from around the wicket to Cook. He finds the edge of Cook's bat and the ball flies behind, hits Brad Haddin's thigh, bounces up towards slip, where Michael Clarke dived forward to try to take the catch but it falls just short of him Photograph: Tom Jenkins

The tourists get their first wicket when Joe Root edges a fine delivery from Peter Siddle through to Brad Haddin Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Maybe taking inspiration from his opposite number, England captain Alastair Cook is on a charge and is lashing the ball about, here he square cuts Lyon for four Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Tim Bresnan tries an ill-advised pull shot at a ball from Siddle and edges it through to Haddin Photograph: Tom Jenkins

The Aussies appeal for the wicket and the umpire raises his finger. Bresnan and Cook have a long chat about whether or not they should review it, and decide not to, but replays suggest that Bresnan did not hit it, and that the ball came off his trouser pocket Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Siddle doesn't care what the ball came off, he's celebrating the wicket Photograph: Tom Jenkins

In the penultimate over of the day Alastair Cook narrowly avoids being run out as David Warner's throw just misses the stumps. The day ends with England on 52-2 and Australia in the driving seat Photograph: Tom Jenkins
