Moeen Ali took centre stage as he hit an entertaing 77 to help England reach 430 in their first innings before taking two key wickets as Australia closed on 264-5.
In the latest Sky Cricket Podcast we hear from Moeen after his all-round good day. We also hear from Sky Sports' Ricky Ponting, who gives his reflections on the second day's play and Australia batsman Chris Rogers after his important 95 for the tourists.
Rogers admitted to some nerves ahead of the first innings of what will be his final Ashes series and spoke about the battle he and opening partner David Warner faced to combat England's new ball bowlers.
