The election for the first cut after the captain Andrew Strauss won the toss, England had a dream in the first meeting, which took four windows for the hosts were quickly shaken 65-4.
England fast bowler Chris Tremlett (3-63) took advantage of his inclusion for the injured Stuart Broad, for stiff bounce and movement explain the late wickets of Phil Hughes (two), Michael Clarke (four) and Steve Smith ( seven), Sydney Morning Herald.
Tremlett was well supported by Jimmy Anderson, who finished with figures of 3-61 and seemed unaffected by a house edge of the birth of his daughter.
Australian captain Ricky Ponting (12) was bent on aggression, before Anderson induced a restoration of off-stump line, where Paul Collingwood took a trap breathtaking.
The early batting collapse left back Michael Hussey to repair the damage, which looked solid in the center while continuing to score a half century of confidence.
Hussey shared a crucial 68-run with Brad Haddin (53) before left-handed batsman dismissed off-spinner Graeme Swann (2-52) and 61.
Mitchell Johnson (62) also criticized half a century, playing the drum, which has boosted Australia's total with a last wicket of 35 between Peter Siddle (35) and Ben Hilfenhaus (13 not out).
England were 29-0 at the end of days play Andrew Strauss (12 not out) and Alastair Cook (17 not out) is a butterfly.
Another commanding performance of the bat on Friday, of course, tourists can ensure a victory that would give them a 2-0 series, and ensure that they retain the Ashes with two races remaining.
