Australia took great control over proceedings, with nathan Lyon taking four wickets as the hosts slumped to 238-9 at stumps.
But a combination of canny bowling and poor shot selection left England reeling as they look to wrap up a series win to go with their retention of the Ashes, sealed with a draw in the third Test.
"My dismissal probably started it,"
"That guys are pretty upbeat, it's a similar score to what we got at Nottingham, first innings and we ended up winning a fantastic Test there."
"Test match cricket is five days, you can't go out there and give your wicket away,"
"You hang in there and wait for your time and you have to earn the right to score runs. You'd probably say Matt Prior is quite an attacking batsman and was the opposite today. But Australia bowled pretty well and set good defensive fields and made it difficult."
"At the beginning of the series everyone said the Australians have got a good bowling line-up, and that's true. We've made it difficult for their batters and they've made it difficult for us,"
"It's a similar score to what we got at Nottingham [in the first innings when England were dismissed for 215] and we ended up winning a fantastic Test match there so hopefully we can do the same here."
