I have read that there was second century midrash about Jesus, but I've never seen it. Are there English translations of this?

The dating and the references are open to speculation.

Christianity in Talmud and Midrash (or via: amazon.co.uk) is a standard reference, although about a century old.

There is also Frank Zindler's The Jesus the Jews Never Knew: Sepher Toldoth Yeshu and the Quest of the Historical Jesus in Jewish Sources (or via: amazon.co.uk)

Chapter 1 of the upcoming release Jesus in the Talmud (or via: amazon.co.uk) is here

Yeshu discusses the issue.
