After ending day one of the second Ashes Test on 221-2, Australia went on to add a further 252 runs to their first innings total.
Marnus Labuschagne, who began the day on 95, quickly brought up his hundred and was given a reprieve on 102, before Ollie Robinson got him LBW.
After a fifty-run stand between captain Steve Smith and Travis Head, England were able to pick up two quick wickets before the end of the first session.
Joe Root made the first breakthrough, bowling Head with a full toss that the batter completely missed.
Cameron Green then departed in the next over, getting bowled for two by an excellent delivery from Ben Stokes.
Smith and Alex Carey then put on a 91-run partnership, helping set up Australia's inevitable declaration.
James Anderson did dismiss both batters in quick succession, getting Smith LBW for 93 and Carey caught for 51, before Mitchell Starc and Michael Neser added a quickfire 39 and 35 respectively.
Australia eventually called time on their innings with the score 473-9 and looked to take advantage of the new ball under lights.
Mitchell Starc once again dismissed Rory Burns cheaply, getting him caught at slip for four, while Haseeb Hameed became Michael Neser's first Test wicket.
Luckily for England, a lightning strike brought an early end to play and they will be hoping they can come back tomorrow and make some big runs.
Here are five talking points from the day's play...
Labuschagne vs Robinson
Labuschagne's innings only lasted eight more overs on day two, but it was a period full of drama and incident.
First, Labuschagne converted his 95 not out into a first Ashes ton with an edge down to the boundary off Anderson.
Soon after, Robinson thought he had dismissed Labuschagne with his first ball of the day, inducing an edge which was pouched by Buttler.
However, the Australian number three was given his third reprieve of the Test, having already been dropped twice by Buttler, with Robinson found to have overstepped.
It looked as though England's failings could once again prove costly, but Robinson did not let his head drop and promptly trapped Labuschagne LBW for 103 in his next over.
Smith's triumphant return as skipper
Captaining Australia for the first time since the ball tampering scandal in 2018 after Pat Cummins was ruled out of the Test due to covid restrictions, Smith enjoyed an excellent first two days.
He won the toss on day one and watched on as Labuschagne and David Warner put on 172 runs, before coming out to bat and falling just short of a hundred.
He brought up his fifty with a boundary off Stokes and went on to make 93, taking advantage of the groundwork laid by Warner and Labuschagne to go through the gears in yet another Ashes masterclass.
Root as frontline spinner
Having dropped Jack Leach after his chastening experience at the Gabba, Root went into Adelaide as England's leading spin option.
He is a more than useful option with the ball, having picked up more than 70 international wickets, but a combination of a long-term back complaint and the extra workload of captaincy means Root has largely underbowled himself.
However, he got through a total of 20 overs in Australia's first innings, picking up 1-72.
Although you can understand the decision to drop Leach, spinners do tend to well in Adelaide and Root was able to find both spin and bounce.
It is no coincidence that the two bowlers to have taken the most Test wickets on this ground are both spinners, Shane Warne and Nathan Lyon, and England could end up ruing their decision.
Green undone again
Green is clearly an incredibly talented all-rounder and Australia certainly seem prepared to invest in his development.
The 22-year-old has an impressive first-class record with the bat, averaging 51.66, but that is yet to translate to Test cricket where he averages 29.50.
Green impressed with the ball in the first Test at the Gabba, picking up three wickets, but he was bowled by Robinson for a first-ball duck after a poorly judged leave.
He was once again bowled cheaply in Adelaide, with Stokes delivering an excellent ball which clipped his off-stump.
On Channel 7, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting highlighted how Green was getting squared up and playing across the line of the ball.
Ponting stated that Green's "whole game revolves around not getting [out] LBW" at present and it is an issue which he must address.
Australia's declaration
Smith and Carey upped the ante in the second session as Australia pushed on to a first innings total of 473-9.
Both players looked to be more aggressive, with Smith falling just short of his hundred and Carey passing fifty before Starc and Neser played useful cameos.
Then, with the new ball under lights, Australia made some early inroads into England's fragile batting lineup.
Starc drew first blood for Australia, getting Burns for four, before Hameed played a poor shot to get caught at mid-on for six.
Luckily for England, an electrical storm brought an early end to the day's play and Root and Dawid Malan will resume their innings on day three.
