#Ashtag - Daily social wrap
Australia is once again in a dominant position against England, after reducing it to 134 for 4 in the second innings of the Perth Test.
England’s struggles reflected in the tone of Michael Vaughan’s tweets.
Not feeling very positive about today ... #Ashes

One good thing happened to England today? A James Vince half-century.
Amid the carnage, Vince looks such a classy player. Almost Gower-esque. #ashes

However, his innings soon came to end, courtesy Mitchell Starc's unplayable ‘ball of the 21st century’.
That's just absurd #Ashes pic.twitter.com/TtkEDPjbJH

That’s called a JAFFA! What a delivery @mstarc56 you reminded me of my bowling days and I enjoyed it to the hilt! You made left armers proud! @CricketAus

It's been called 'The Ball of the #Ashes' by @KP24 - what do you think? https://t.co/nBY5MXM5M7

That Vince wicket ball would’ve dismissed every batsman in the history of the game. Not often you can say that #Ashes

One of England's concerns has been Alastair Cook's batting woes.
Oh Cook, that's pathetic.

What a hideous shot.
Your England career is done. #ashes
Pat Cummins has exactly twice as many runs as Alastair Cook in this #Ashes series, and from one innings fewer

Looks like he doesn't share a good relationship with the WACA!
Alastair Cook's last three #Ashes dismissals at the WACA have been quite something! https://t.co/57Bmg3ihch pic.twitter.com/dOgWuMNEVI

And Nathan 'Nice Garry' Lyon accounted for the wicket of Joe Root.

One way England could possibly save itself from a batting-collapse tomorrow? RAIN.
IT'S RAINING AND THE COVERS ARE COMING ON!! #Ashes pic.twitter.com/QxP8PVeMPI

Lastly, the Australia v England was not the only contest today in Perth.
Covers v Groundstaff - What a contest at the WACA! #Ashes @MastercardAU #MastercardMoment pic.twitter.com/HtZENSjhmL
