Australia is 3 for 94 at lunch on the first day of the second test at the Adelaide Oval after Shane Watson and Mike Hussey steady the ship from a precarious 3 for 2.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Simon Katich was run out for a duck without facing a ball.
A scratchy Ricky Ponting was then dismissed for a first ball duck caught by Graeme Swann in the slips of the bowling of Jimmy Anderson.
Vice Captain Michael Clark continued his form slump, also caught in the slips off Anderson for two to leave Australia reeling.
After a tense first hour, where Watson survived an lbw referral and Hussey was dropped the pair steered Australia to 94.
Watson is not out 50 and Hussey not out 36.
