AUS vs ENG Day 4 Stumps: England staring at inevitable defeat after another horrendous day in Adelaide

after Australia declared at 230/9, England needed 468 runs to win the second Ashes Test. However, the visitors faced an early blow when Jhye Richardson removed Haseeb Hameed cheaply in the second over.

David Malan and Rory Burns then tried to steady the innings and added 44 runs for the third wicket before Michael Neser dismissed Malan for a LBW. Rory Burns too departed shortly after Malan followed by Joe Root on what turned out to be the last ball of the Day.

In the second session, Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne both hit their respective fifties before getting out on Sunday. Malan picked his first Test wicket as he dismissed Labuschagne. Alex Carey, Jhye Richardson, and Mitchell Starc all went cheaply but Cameron Green took Australia’s lead to 467.

Earlier in the first session, Australia got off to a bad start as a double strike from England bowlers put the hosts on the backfoot. Anderson and Broad picked up the wickets of Michael Neser (3) and Marcus Harris (23) respectively to give England a firing start.

Ashes 2021 LIVE: Stuart Broad says, ‘Collapsing three times in a row against Australia NOT OKAY’

8:45 AM IST: COVID-19 scare haunts Ashes A fresh Covid drama has engulfed the Ashes with a BBC staff who interviewed England’s Dawid Malan testing positive, reported Fox Sports. Sources said that as the journalist was wearing a mask there is no issue with Malan. Meanwhile, Commentators from other networks have been asked to stay in their hotel until the situation becomes clearer.

In the last session of the day, Aussies bowled out England for 236. Visitors who were in control in the first session found themselves in a deep hole after losing 8 wickets for 86 runs this afternoon.

Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc bagged seven wickets combined as England suffered yet another collapse on Day 3 after Dawid Malan’s 80 and Root’s 62. On Day 4, England need miracles to restrict Australia.

Australia returned to bat in the final session and their batters spent tricky 17 over-stretch as England failed to start their fightback. The lone wicket of David Warner was courtesy a needless mix-up between the openers. The tidy fielding by Stuart Broad made sure that the only chance doesn’t go begging for the English side.

Mitchell Starc returned with 4/37 while Nathan Lyin bagged 3/58 to wreak England. Starc was of full praise for his wrecker partner.

“Nathan is a fantastic first-class bowler, he has been world-class for a long time. He knows what he is doing no matter what the colour of the ball,” Mitchell Starc said.
