Second Ashes Test | Australia nears win, England slips
The Hindu
Australia has set a target of 468 runs for England.
Mitchel Starc removed England captain Joe Root in the last over as Australia pushed for victory in the second Ashes test after setting a record target of 468 runs on Sunday.
Root, who was struck hard in the groin by Starc in his penultimate over on the fourth day, edged the leftarm paceman after scoring 24 in the last over that left England stuttering at 82-4.
England need to create history to win. The highest successful fourth-innings test run chase is the West Indies' 418-7 against Australia in 2003. The highest successful fourth-innings chase in Adelaide is Australia's 315-6 to beat England in 1901-02.
