Ashes in a nutshell: All you need to know from day three in Adelaide

An England collapse, a fightback under the lights, and a flying GOAT... all you need to know from day three at Adelaide Oval...

REPORT

James Anderson and Chris Woakes took two late wickets apiece to reduce Australia to 53-4 in their second innings and give England some hope of salvaging something from the second Test at the Adelaide Oval.

WHAT THEY SAID

James Anderson, England seamer talking to BT Sport: "It was good under lights, it did a lot more than we expected. Even when it is doing the amount that it did, you've still got to get it in the right areas and I think we learnt from the first innings, where we didn't quite bowl full enough. So we made a point of trying to get it up there, find the edge and get lbws - which we did - and I think we deserved the four wickets.

"There was a lot of disappointment after our batting performance. There was frustration and we wanted to show that we're not just here to roll over. We needed to show a bit of fight to get ourselves back into this game. We didn't do ourselves justice with the bat but I thought we did that brilliantly in the field."

Mitchell Starc, Australia seamer talking to BT Sport: "Obviously we've still got a big lead, it's not ideal to go to stumps four down but, at the same time we're 260 ahead and we've had a good day in the field.

"England have only faced 10 overs under the lights and there are two big night sessions left in this Test match. I'd very much still rather be in our changing room compared to theirs.

"There was no debate [about enforcing the follow-on]. It is purely up to the skipper and there was no discussion with the bowlers."

MOMENT OF THE DAY

After a forgettable display with the bat, England came out firing and got the pink ball hooping under the lights. James Anderson took two wickets and Chris Woakes had already removed David Warner before claiming another huge wicket - Steve Smith trapped lbw.

There was a nervous wait as Smith reviewed the decision but, having survived an incredibly close lbw review from Anderson, the Australia captain had no such luck this time, with umpire's call handing England a fourth wicket and possibly even a way back into this match...

STAT OF THE DAY

Craig Overton is the first England player to take at least three wickets and score at least 30 runs in the first innings of his Test debut since Darren Gough against New Zealand at Manchester in 1994.

TWEETS OF THE DAY

Nathan Lyon - the GOAT, as he has affectionately been known since he became the leading wicket-taker among off-spinners for Australia - was understandably the talk of Twitter after his diving catch to dismiss Moeen Ali - plenty of emojis used...

England's 2013/14 nemesis liked what he saw early on in Adelaide...

Piers Morgan has a solution to England's batting issues - the same solution he always has...

Tabloid scribes Dean Wilson (Mirror) and John Etheridge (Sun) were alert to the fact Overton headed into his first Ashes innings on the back of three consecutive ducks...
