ASK GEORGE: "This series is damaging the Ashes"

WATCH: Chief correspondent GEORGE DOBELL answers readers' questions after an action-packed second day of the fifth Test in Hobart

Australia took control of the fifth Test on day two in Hobart, sauntering into a 152-run lead after bowling England out for a paltry total.

Joe Root's side were dismissed for just 188, leaving the hosts with a lead of 115 when they came to bat again.

With seven second-innings wickets remaining, Australia's lead is now a healthy one after a brief England counterattack with the ball under lights.
