- England falter in morning after 'daft batting'
Ben Stokes produced another heroic Headingley performance and Moeen Ali claimed his 200th Test wicket as England kept their Ashes hopes alive on a rip-roaring second day in Leeds.
Stokes - four years on from his match-winning 135 not out on this ground and five days hence from his 155 at Lord's - struck 80 from 108 while batting on one leg due to a glute issue to lift England from 142-7 to 237 all out as they conceded a first-innings deficit of just 26.
Off-spinner Moeen then removed Marnus Labuschagne (33) and Steve Smith (2) in quick succession before Chris Woakes nicked off Usman Khawaja (43) as Australia slipped from 68-1 to 90-4 before closing on 116-4 with a lead of 142 and first-innings centurion Mitchell Marsh (17no) at the crease alongside Travis Head (18no).

Stokes was on 27 from 67 balls at lunch, which was taken after Moeen (21) and Woakes (7) had been bounced out to follow the early-morning dismissals of Joe Root (19) and Bairstow (12) after England resumed on 68-3 and trailing by 195.
Mark Wood (24 off 8) initially brought the impetus with a boundary-laden cameo as England started the second session 121 runs in arrears, slamming his first three balls for six, four and six off Mitchell Starc and adding another maximum off the six-wicket Pat Cummins before he holed out two balls later.
That was the trigger for Stokes to ignite, evoking memories of his stunning knock here in 2019 as he nailed three fours in a row off Starc, two in an over off Cummins and then twice crunched back-to-back sixes off spinner Todd Murphy, who is only playing following Nathan Lyon's series-ending calf injury at Lord's.

Check out Mark Wood's scintillating eight-ball cameo as he struck three sixes and one four before being dismissed by Pat Cummins
Stokes - dropped twice in as many balls on 45, by Starc and then Murphy - eventually picked out Smith at long-on as he attempted to smoke two sixes in a row off Murphy for a third time.
Smith's catch, his fifth of the innings, saw him equal Sir Ian Botham's record of 54 in Ashes cricket, with his 53rd coming as he took a blinder on the deep-square boundary to remove Broad off Cummins.
Sky Sports' Nasser Hussain had branded England's late-morning batting as "daft" after Moeen and Woakes flapped against short balls, with the pundit frustrated the pair hadn't "played for Stokes".

And so did Chris Woakes
Moeen, who had initially steadied England from 87-5 alongside Stokes, top-edged Cummins to Smith at fine leg straight after the fielder had been moved to that spot, while Woakes clipped the same bowler behind as he went on the pull.
