Langer dominates England

Afp, Birmingham
Justin Langer continued to defy the England attack as the hosts made inroads into the star-studded Australian batting line-up during the second Test at Edgbaston on Friday.
At tea on the second day Australia were 219 for five, 188 runs behind England's first innings 407, with Langer 72 not out after nearly four hours of resistance. Adam Gilchrist, in his 100th Test innings, was unbeaten on five.
Left-arm spinner Ashley Giles, playing on his Warwickshire home ground where earlier he got rid of Australia captain Ricky Ponting, dismissed Michael Clarke for 40 with the aid of a fine catch from Geraint Jones.
And the Kent wicketkeeper was involved again when Simon Katich (four) hung the bat out at an Andrew Flintoff delivery that cut away a fraction and edged behind. Giles ended the session with tidy figures of two for 49 off 15 overs.
But Katich's exit brought in the dangerous Gilchrist and he was, from an England point of view, ominously off the mark with a cover-driven four off paceman Flintoff.
However, he was then given a tough examination by Flintoff who, as he'd done successfully in the past against the left-hander, probed outside off-stump from around the wicket.
Australia resumed on 118 for three after Damien Martyn contributed to his own dismissal when he was out by being run out off the last ball before lunch when his reckless bid for a single off Flintoff saw him fail to beat England captain Michael Vaughan's direct hit from mid-on.
Langer was 27 not out and Clarke yet to face a ball.
But Clarke was soon into his stride, driving paceman Simon Jones for four.
Meanwhile left-hander Langer, who in the midst of Clarke's strokeplay was batting like the old-fashioned opener he is, after being hit on the helmet third ball and on the chest by fast bowler Stephen Harmison, confidently cover-drove Jones for four.
Giles, given a tough time by Clarke at Lord's during Australia's 239-run first Test win last month, removed the right-hander in clever fashion.
Bowling from over the wicket, a flatter, quicker delivery, took Clarke's outside edge and Jones, like Giles criticised for his performance at Lord's, held on.
Australia were now 194 for four as England slowed their scoring rate with some well-set defensive fields.
Ponting had looked in superb touch in making 61 but fell tamely when his top-edged sweep off Giles lobbed gently to Vaughan at short fine leg.
It was a stroke in marked contrast to the bold shots Ponting played during a 51-ball fifty with 10 fours.
Together with Langer, Ponting had put on 88 in 118 balls after opener Matthew Hayden fell for his first Test match golden duck.
Pace bowler Matthew Hoggard's first delivery dismissed Hayden when the left-hander sliced a drive straight to Andrew Strauss at short cover.
It was the first time Hayden had fallen for nought in a Test since playing against South Africa in Durban in 2002.
