Ashes Test at The Oval.
The tourists' captain-in-waiting, who was caught off a Steven Finn no-ball on 92, went on to score 143 and propel his team to an imposing 481 all out.
England then crumbled on a largely blameless pitch, losing seven wickets during a disastrous final session to close the second day on 107-8.
Peter Siddle and Mitchell Marsh justified their recalls by sharing five wickets, while Nathan Lyon found some turn to bowl Alastair Cook and Jos Buttler.
England have already regained the Ashes after assuming an unassailable 3-1 lead with victories at Cardiff, Edgbaston and Trent Bridge.
