Ashes 2017-18 second Test live: Adelaide Oval, day two

The game is over for the day. The umpires have deemed the field too wet for anymore play this evening.

That's a shame on a superb day of test cricket for Australia, and a totally miserable one for the English.

The players have left the field. A real shame.

And there is an appeal after his first ball for caught behind, but the noise Australia heard was off Cooks thigh, not bat.

It was a beauty of a delivery by Starc. Pace and a little bit of swing beat Stoneman, trapping him on the pads at the crease. Beautiful.

The review was not successful, the DRS showed Starc's delivery would have crashed into leg stump and Stoneman is on his way for 18.

Stoneman is reveiwing though

He had a few to choose from:

It's Stoneman off Hazlewood and it flies over gully for four runs.
