England trail Australia by 265 runs at lunch on day two of the fifth Ashes Test.

England are 265 runs behind Australia at lunch on day two of the fifth Ashes Test after losing four wickets in the first hour of play.

Australia were 326 all out on day one, but managed to get the wicket of Michael Carberry before the close of play to leave England 318 runs behind at the start of day two.

The hosts struck with only the second ball as Alastair Cook left a Ryan Harris delivery which nipped back to trap him lbw for just seven runs.

James Anderson's 24-ball stay as nightwatchman then came to an end as Mitchell Johnson caught an outside edge and Michael Clarke took a low catch.

It could have been worse moments later, when the ball hit Ian Bell on the pad, but Aleem Dar quickly shook his head. Australia decided to use a review, but Hawkeye showed that the ball would have missed leg-stump.

However, Harris was looking dangerous with every ball and it wasn't long before another wicket fell. A loose Kevin Pietersen shot was caught by Shane Watson to leave England 17-4.

For the England players and fans, the situation then got worse when Peter Siddle caught the edge of Bell's bat, which allowed Brad Haddin to take a routine catch behind the stumps.

Siddle was convinced that he had another wicket, but the replay showed that any sound came from the bat clipping the pad.

With Gary Ballance (17) and Ben Stokes (23) at the crease, England began to settle and gradually moved to 61-5.
