Adelaide, Dec 4 (AFP) England made Australia pay for fielding bungles to make steady progress after the home side's modest first innings total on the second day of the second Ashes Test on Saturday.
The Australians, defending 245, their lowest Adelaide first innings total for 17 years, struck in the day's opening over to remove skipper Andrew Strauss but there was no further joy as the temperatures climbed at the Adelaide Oval.
First Test centurions Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott were building a solid partnership and steering England to a burgeoning innings.
At lunch, Cook was unbeaten on 35 with Trott on 39 in England's 90 for one to trail by 155 runs.
Strauss fell cheaply and Trott had two lives in a shaky start for England chasing Australia's modest first innings total.
