LEEDS, England (Reuters) - Bad light and rain continued to hamper England's progress on day one of the third Ashes test at Headingley on Thursday, with Australia on 54-2 as tea was called early.

After a rain-delayed start, with only four overs bowled in the morning session, Australia resumed on 12-1 after lunch, but Usman Khawaja was soon heading back to the pavilion, caught behind for eight.
