Khawaja was a key breakthrough in the final over before lunch to spare England a wicketless first session.
Soon after the lunch break, Tongue then bowled David Warner with a magnificent delivery.
It swung back in to the left-hander and clipped the top of his leg stump.
It even snapped the top of the stump clean off as the opener departed for 66.
