The second day of the fifth Test is in Hobart.
Head 101, Green 74, and 37-3 were all from Australia.
England had a score of 186 (Cummins 4-45).
Australia has a lead of 152 runs.
The scorecard is a summary of what happened.
England's batting crumbled again before Australia lost late wickets on the second day of the fifth Test.
Australia closed on 37-3 in their second essay, a lead of 152, after 17 of them fell.
In the first day of the game, England was dismissed for 188 in response to Australia's 303.
England's miserable tour got off to a bad start when Burns was run out for a duck in the second over.
A number of England's batting failed to take advantage of the opportunity as Chris Woakes and Joe Root both made 36. Pat Cummins was the leader of Australia's bowling display.
Needing to strike early to keep their slim hopes alive, England removed David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne to leave Australia at a disadvantage.
Australia are in a strong position for the victory that would see them end the series as four-time winners, despite Steve Smith being taken to the close by brave nightwatchman Scott Boland.
It would take a remarkable performance on the third day for England to end their winless streak in the series.
Highlights and reaction from the second day.
Weary England could end with a whimper.
For all of the optimism England might have taken from escaping the fourth Test with a draw, this has been a timid, end-of-term performance from a team who at times have looked as if they cannot wait for the series to be over.
England subsided once more in a blur of self-inflicted dismissals on Saturday, after Australia were allowed to escape from 12-3 on Friday.
Stuart Broad yelled across the ground early in the day to admonish a robotic camera, which was the most fight shown by the tourists.
England has never reached 300 in the nine-inning series, but they failed to manage 200 in the latest collapse.
It is not clear how much Australia's first-innings total is above-par and how much England have fallen.
Even though Australia's lead seems modest, they might not need many more runs on Saturday to give England enough to chase.
There is one more collapse.
This was the worst hit of England's batting failure - a run-out, tentative prods, loose strokes and leg-side strangles.
Seven players made starts by reaching 10, but none of them made a contribution. It could have been worse. Both Burns and Malan could have been caught behind before they were dismissed.
Burns' tour continued after the run out. He was dropped for Tests three and four after being dismissed for a first-ball duck, but his return to form was ended by hesitancy over a single called for by Zak Crawley.
After a 49-run partnership between Joe and Dawid, England lost both men and Ben Stokes for the addition of only seven runs. Cummins was tickled down the leg side, Root was pinned on the crease by the same bowler, and Stokes patted Mitchell Starc to point.
Sam Billings looked promising for 29 but after Ollie Pope poked at Boland, he showed he was at home in this England team by top-ingging Cameron Green to long leg.
After being dropped on nought and five, he went on to grab five fours and a six. England lost their last six runs when he was caught on the leg side.
Australia was home in on four.
Australia lost Starc and Cummins to Wood's bouncers. When Wood overdid the short stuff, Nathan Lyon hit three sixes in his 31 and the hosts added 52 for their final two strikes.
The pitch has lost some of its greenness from the first day, and England were batting under a clear sky, but there was still enough encouragement for the Australia pace pack to exploit the tourists' weakness.
Cummins was relentless, backed-up by Starc, while Boland nipped the ball off the seam. The threat posed by Australia remained constant even when England scored quickly.
The only mistakes from the hosts were the drops by Warner and Khawaja, but they were laughed off.
Warner was dismissed by Broad for the second time under the lights, while Labuschagne was held down the leg side by the bowler for his first catch.
After Khawaja gloved Wood's brutal bumper, Boland was given more than 20 minutes to survive, which he came through despite being targeted by a number of venomous deliveries from Wood.
Anything under 300 is doable.
Jonathan Agnew said that anything under 300 is doable, but they haven't scored 300 in the whole series. They could be batting under lights again on the third day of the game. It's going to be difficult.
Steven Finn, a former England fast bowler, said that England's score of 188 looks sub-par on the surface but it's that period in the middle of the day which cost them.
All results are still possible. It will be a big session tomorrow. The ball has zip around a lot tonight. The first session tomorrow will be crucial.
