(Photo) Stokes, Buttler fall as Australia tighten the noose

England slide further while still being in the arrears. For the second time in this Test, Pat Cummins got Ben Stokes squaring up to a ball angled into his body. The edge was snaffled at gully by Cameron Green. It has been a prolific morning for Australia, who still lead by 12 runs. The keeper-bat also fell shortly thereafter as his nick carried to Alex Carey off Josh Hazlewood. England’s lower-order needs to step up and show a bit of mitigation if they are to set Australia a respectable target, although their hopes are hanging by a thread.
