Live: third Ashes Test, day two

ENGLAND skipper Alastair Cook has led his side's fightback in sweltering conditions on day two of the Third Test in Perth.

Cook (35no) has looked assured at the crease in his 100th Test, combining with Michael Carberry (35no) to lift the tourists to 0-72 midway through the second session, after dismissing Australia for 385.

With the temperature climbing above 40C, Mitchell Johnson (0-20) failed to create any significant chances in his five overs, but the rest of Australia's attack came close to ousting Carberry.

The left-hander survived after edging Ryan Harris just inches wide of Steve Smith before lunch, and later skied a hook shot off Peter Siddle that eluded a sprawling Brad Haddin.

Earlier, England made the ideal start to the day by claiming a breakthrough in just the second over of the morning, with Johnson nicking a straight ball from Stuart Broad on his overnight score of 39.

Smith was brought undone soon after, with England reviewing umpire Marais Erasmus' decision to turn down their appeal for caught behind off James Anderson.

While Hot Spot failed to show any significant mark, Snicko suggested there had indeed been an inside edge, bringing an end to a superb knock of 111 from the 24-year-old.

Siddle and Nathan Lyon provided some late resistance with a 31-run stand for the final wicket before Tim Bresnan claimed his first scalp of the series.
