Australia bowled out for 481 before England fightback stutters

England bowl Australia out for 481 before making 30-1 at tea on day two of the fifth Ashes Test.

England have bowled Australia out for 481 before reaching 30-1 at tea on day two of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.

The tourists started the afternoon session on 376-7, with Steven Smith on 110.

Smith got himself to 143 when he was bowled by Steven Finn, while Mitchell Starc followed him back to the pavilion soon after following a valuable knock of 58. Starc's determined spell at the crease was ended lbw by Ben Stokes.

Peter Siddle was the final Aussie wicket to fall as Finn struck again to dismiss him for just one run.

Alastair Cook and Adam Lyth got England off to a solid start with the bat, but their partnership was ended just before the break when the captain was bowled by Nathan Lyon for 22.
