England is fighting to keep the Ashes series alive after another batting collapse in the Third Ashes Test.
The tourists fell apart at the Adelaide Oval after limping to stumps at 8/213 — still trailing Australia by 158 runs heading into the biggest day of the series on Friday.
It was a day of high drama on Thursday as multiple DRS howlers and technology flops left commentators shaking their heads.

England captain Ben Stokes reached 45 not out at stumps, but it was an earlier incident with teammate Jofra Archer that has made the most headlines.
The pair batted together in a crucial ninth-wicket stand, but were earlier seen exchanging words as England wrapped up the Aussie tail in the first session.
“Mate, don’t complain about the field placings when you bowl s***,” Stokes appeared to tell his teammate.
He then seemed to say: “Bowl on the stumps and look what happens”.
England will need to show the same fight on Day 3.
