Anderson rips Australia apart in Adelaide

Jimmy Anderson was England's hero on the first day of the second Ashes Test in Adelaide as Australia could only post a well below par score of 245.

The Lancashire fast bowler removed captain Ricky Ponting for a golden duck with the first ball of the day and then went on to wreak havoc in the top order.

Anderson went on to remove vice-captain Michael Clarke in the very next over to leave the hosts 2-3.

Michael Hussey rescued the innings with a score of 93 before Graeme Swann removed the Western Australian batsman.

England had to bat out 2 overs at the end of the day but were successful and leave at 1-0.
