LONDON :Australia set about chasing down their target of 384 by reaching 75 without loss by lunch on a gloomy fourth day of the final Ashes test at The Oval on Sunday, with David Warner and Usman Khawaja keeping the score ticking over steadily.
Broad very nearly claimed the wicket of Warner for the 18th time in tests when the opener edged a ball in the fifth over to Ben Duckett in the slips, but the ball landed just short of the fielder. Anderson came closest shortly before the break, finding a tiny bit of reverse spin to Khawaja but the batter narrowly avoided nicking the ball to wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow.
England had batted with great intent on Saturday, with Zak Crawley , Root and Bairstow helping to build the score as Australia's bowlers struggled to restrict the flow of runs.
