Australia on brink of victory in second Ashes Test
London | After four days of unpredictable and head-scratching action, Australia’s pacemen Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins ripped out England’s top order with a masterclass of textbook bowling to put their side in sight of a 2-0 Ashes lead on Saturday.
Bounced out for 279 during a wacky afternoon of monotonous short-pitched bowling at Lord’s, which left the hosts needing a daunting 371 for victory, Australia’s pedigree attack reduced England to 4-114 at the close on day four.
