Ashes 2017: 2nd Test, day 1, 5 things we learnt from the day
It was all Australia until the lights came in at Adelaide and the pink ball started doing its magic. Four balls into the final session post dinner and James Anderson sent back the settled Usman Khawaja. Soon after, Craig Overton toiled hard to nip one past Steven Smith's defence. The hosts ended day 1 of the second Ashes Test, a day-night affair, with 209 on the board for the loss of four wickets.
Having opted to bowl first, none of the England bowlers bowled the right lines and the visitors struggled to gather any kind of momentum. The energy levels had gone down rather early and the Aussies were cruising when Chris Woakes made his presence felt in the series with a direct hit and the wicket of Cameron Bancroft. The late strikes further pushed Australia back but Peter Handscomb and Shaun Marsh negotiated some tricky late overs.
