Replica Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Jersey .?[PhotoAgencies] England steals initiative again by skittling hosts top order PERTH, Australia - Australia faces an uphill battle to regain the Ashes after another top-order collapse on the first day of the crucial third Test at the WACA in Perth on Thursday. England, who will retain the Ashes with a victory in the match, won an important toss and reduced the host to 69-5 after sending it in to bat on a greenish pitch, before Australias tail wagged to take it to a modestly competitive total of 268. In reply, England edged safely to 29-0 at stumps, with Alastair Cook on 17 and Andrew Strauss on 12, leaving the tourists well placed to build a commanding first innings lead on the back of its earlier good bowling and brilliant fielding. English fast bowler Chris Tremlett, who replaced the injured Stuart Broad in the team and excelled with 3-63, said the English were perfectly placed in the match, especially after the openers lasted until stumps. It was a great last half an hour. The guys fought hard there to see off the new ball, which is key, he said. Well look to bat time and get a healthy lead. Recalled opener Phil Hughes (two), embattled skipper Ricky Ponting (12), struggling deputy Michael Clarke (four) and new No 6 Steven Smith (seven) were among the casualties as Australias top order produced its second first innings collapse in as many Tests. Veteran Mike Hussey again led the fightback with 61, before Brad Haddin (53), Mitchell Johnson (62) and Peter Siddle (35 not out) added some much-needed respectability to the score with some enterprising stroke play. England leads the five-Test series 1-0 after its second Test win by an innings in Adelaide and victory in Perth will guarantee it retains the Ashes, after wresting the urn off Australia in England last year. Hughes lasted just six balls on his return to the Test arena, clean bowled by recalled paceman Tremlett. A stunning one-handed catch from Paul Collingwood off the bowling of James Anderson (3-61) had Pontings woes deepening as he headed back to the pavilion. With the host limping at 28-2, vice-captain Clarke was next to go, caught behind by wicketkeeper Matt Prior off Tremlett, before Shane Watson was trapped lbw by Steve Finn for 13 as Australia slumped to 36-4, having also been 2-3 in Adelaide. Hussey put on 68 with Haddin before he was given out caught behind on a referral in spinner Graeme Swanns second over, after umpire Billy Doctrove had initially turned down the appeal.
