A batting collapse puts England in deep trouble on day two of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.

England have been reduced to 107-8 at the close of play after bowling Australia out for 481 on day two of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.

The hosts started the evening session on 30-1 following Alastair Cook's dismissal for 22 during the afternoon.

A batting collapse from England then saw the Aussies take firm control of the contest at stumps.

Adam Lyth was the first to go after tea when he was caught off the bowling of Peter Siddle for 19 to continue his poor form this series.

The loss of four wickets in seven overs soon after put England in serious trouble.

Siddle struck again to send Ian Bell back to the pavilion for 10 before Mitchell Starc claimed the wicket of Joe Root for a disappointing six.

England's world continued to fall apart when Jonny Bairstow (13) and Jos Buttler (1) fell victim to Mitchell Johnson and Nathan Lyon respectively.

Things got worse for the home side towards the close of play as Ben Stokes (15) and Stuart Broad (duck) were both bowled by Mitchell Marsh. Moeen Ali and Mark Wood (both eight not out) will resume at the crease tomorrow.
