We look back on day two of the fourth Ashes Test in Melbourne

Friday 27 December 2013 11:49, UK

With Australia's bowlers ending the first day of the fourth Test on top once again, England needed a resolute start to day two from their tail end in order to maintain a foothold in the contest.

Morgan's Melbourne mauling

Piers Morgan is never afraid to voice his opinion and has levelled plenty of criticism towards England's batsman during this current Ashes series. He wanted to show them where they are going wrong, so volunteered to face an over from Australian fast-bowling great Brett Lee during the tea break at the MCG - and it provided some great entertainment. The journalist turned TV presenter was hit several times by Lee in a torrid barrage of deliveries, before finally being clean bowled. He tweeted afterwards: "For the record, I didn't actually see a single one of @BrettLee_58 's deliveries. But I felt 4 of them crashing into my flesh."

Guided tour

Ever dreamed of paying a visit to the MCG and experiencing one of sport's greatest theatres but never been able to make the trip? Worry not, because Sky Sports' cameras were given an exclusive, guided tour of the fabled stadium by a man who knows it intimately, Shane Warne. The former spinner discusses what it is like to walk out of the tunnel and on to the field, and experience the "deafening" noise created by the 90,000-strong crowd. He talks about why he couldn't wait to bowl at the MCG, and also gives Nick Knight a masterclass in Australian rules football.
