Ashes super-villain David Warner was given a damning send-off back to the dressing room by a fired-up capacity crowd at Old Trafford after the Australian batsman made a less than auspicious return to Test cricket.
It was an embarrassing walk of shame for Warner, who wasted a DRS review challenging a Graeme Swann (4-104) delivery he'd clearly nicked.
England fought back well in the opening session on day two - taking 2-89 - but Australia are still set for an imposing total, going to lunch at 5-392.
Captain Michael Clarke's 168 not out has led the way, with his deputy Brad Haddin 18 not out.
Clarke rocketed past 150 on the scoreboard, and Mark Taylor in the record books, with the skipper now the seventh highest run-scorer in Australian Test history.
Steve Smith fell agonisingly short of a maiden Test century, when he tried to smash Swann over the in-field and was caught for 89.
The crowd exploded when Jonny Bairstow took the catch, Smith smashing his pads in despair.
It brought Warner to the crease and the volume sky-rocketed.
Since punching England rival Joe Root in a Birmingham nightclub back in June, Warner has had to wait for a recall - suspended and banished to Africa for match practice.
But no matter how long it took for his return, he was always going to cop a pasting from the Barmy Army.
Just 10 balls into his first innings as a re-packaged No.6, Warner ensured the jeering isn't likely to abate for the rest of the series.
Warner lent forward to defend Swann, but got a massive slice, which rebounded off keeper Matt Prior's knee and popped up for first slip Jonathan Trott.
Umpire Tony Hill fired him immediately, but it was clear Warner legitimately didn't think he'd hit it.
He convinced the sceptical Clarke that he'd smashed his pad and missed the ball, rolling the dice with Australia's final review.
He was wrong.
Replays showed he could have been hoodwinked by the bat-pad contact, but perhaps it was the atmosphere and the occasion that really clouded Warner's judgement.
The two quick wickets weren't ideal for Australia, but their main aim on day two seemed to be speeding the game up.
At 2-0 down in the series, nothing but victory will do - and rain in Manchester is never far away.
Clarke took his chances.
When on 136 he attempted to belt one through the covers and Swann wasn't far away from either taking a screamer or parrying the ball up to Kevin Pietersen.
When on 164, shortly before lunch, Clarke edged behind off James Anderson, but the normally reliable Prior couldn't handle.
Clarke's century is the second highest score by an Australian at Old Trafford, behind Bob Simpson's 311.
His 214-run partnership with Smith was the biggest ever fourth-wicket stand in Tests at the venue.
