England pacemen Stuart Broad and Jofra Archer struck twice each to reduce Australia to 63-4 in their second innings of the fourth Ashes test at ...
MANCHESTER, England: Australia took a giant step towards retaining the Ashes in the fourth test at Old Trafford on Saturday after they left England needing 365 runs to win with eight wickets remaining heading into the final day.
On a day in which every other batsman struggled to cope with good length pace bowling, Smith, who has now compiled nine straight half-centuries against England, looked utterly unfazed. "I think we can do it. We've had a chat in the changing room, we're certainly not going out thinking it's all over. There's no use playing at this level ," said England coach Trevor Bayliss.Australia had half an hour at the end of the day to attack England's top order and paceman Cummins had instant success.
Marcus Harris was also leg before to Broad, failing with his review attempt, and when Marnus Labuschagne was trapped in front by Archer, Australia were wobbling at 24-3. Yet he mis-timed a big shot off spinner Jack Leach, which was pocketed by Ben Stokes in the deep, to depart for 82 off 92 balls, another superb innings decorated with 11 boundaries.
