# The Ashes 2010: Australia v England, third Test, day one lunch report

[Comments][2]
Chris Tremlett marked his return to Test cricket with two of
[**England**][3]'s four wickets before lunch as [**Australia**][4] again hit
big trouble in the Ashes.
[**Follow the third Test live with our over-by-over commentary**][5]
For the second successive Test, the tourists made an outstanding start with
the ball - and by lunch at the WACA their hosts, needing to avoid defeat here
to stop England retaining the Ashes, had struggled to 65 for four.
Tremlett, back in place of the injured Stuart Broad for his first Test since
2007, struck twice with the new ball as he and James Anderson made the most of
a helpful surface.
Recalled opener Phil Hughes, Australia captain Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke
and finally Shane Watson were the men to go - as England's pace bowlers found
the assistance in a green pitch that Andrew Strauss was hoping for after
winning the toss.

15 Dec 2010
Just as at Adelaide two weeks ago - where England went on to win by an innings
to go 1-0 up with three matches to play - Australia endured a nightmare
opening few overs.
Anderson thought he had Watson in the first over of the match, but umpire
Billy Doctrove's caught-behind verdict after a brilliant take down the leg-
side by Matt Prior was overturned on review when video replays showed the ball
hitting only the batsman's thigh pad.
At the other end, though, Hughes could manage only two runs before Tremlett -
who had worked him over with short balls - pushed one further up and clean-
bowled the left-hander, as he aimed to leg.
Ponting got away with a four edged in the air through a vacant third slip, off
Tremlett, and counted another boundary when he pulled the tall seamer - an
evident statement of intent to counter-attack whenever possible.
But sadly for Ponting, after clipping Anderson for a third four off his legs,
he was gone.
Watson escaped barely a half-chance on two, Strauss unable to cling on one-
handed high above his head at slip, off Anderson.
Then when the same bowler found more extra bounce, Ponting also edged high -
and Paul Collingwood leapt athletically to take a wonderful one-handed catch
at third slip.
After half-an-hour's play on a bright morning, England's prospects of
retaining the urn here were already riding high.
They soon had even more to smile about, Clarke poking an edge behind in back-
foot defence off Tremlett - and after Steven Finn replaced Anderson at the
Lillee Marsh Stand end, he produced a memorable piece of bowling to have the
determined Watson lbw with an inswinging yorker.
The opener went to DRS, but it was no surprise when replays and simulation
indicated Doctrove had got his decision right this time.
Australia badly needed some urgent resistance, and Michael Hussey - their best
batsman of the series so far - was the likeliest lad.
He dug in alongside Steven Smith for the remainder of the session, and was
rewarded shortly before lunch with a mistimed hook off Finn which flew
straight over the wicketkeeper's head for six - and then a gimme full toss
next ball, despatched past mid-off for four.
