A world record crowd at the MCG watched Australia take the ascendancy late on day one of the Boxing Day Test, thanks to the man of the summer so far, Mitchell Johnson.
England could have laid claim to a successful day when the tourists sat at 4-202 within the final hour, but Johnson claimed the wickets of Ben Stokes and Johnny Bairstow, who replaced Matt Prior as wicketkeeper, to see England go to stumps at 6-226.

Kevin Pietersen hung around for a gutsy 67, which came off an uncharacteristically slow 152 balls.
Pietersen was dropped twice during his innings, once by substitute fielder Nathan Coulter-Nile on the boundary, which ended up going for six.
Coulter-Nile was on the field as a sub for Aussie all-rounder Shane Watson, who suffered soreness in his groin while bowling, although he returned to middle later in the day.
