Australia were dismissed for 280 in their first innings shortly after lunch on the second day of the fifth Ashes test against England on Tuesday.

Ben Hilfenhaus was the last batsman to fall when he was caught behind for 34 after getting a nick on a short delivery from James Anderson, who finished with 4-66.

Quick bowlers Hilfenhaus and Mitchell Johnson had combined for an entertaining tail-end partnership of 76 -- both slugging huge sixes inside one three-ball spell -- before Johnson had his off stump taken out by Tim Bresnan.

The tourists have already retained the Ashes courtesy of their innings and 157-run victory in Melbourne last week but Australia could still square the series at 2-2 with a victory this week.
