Holders England now face the prospect of losing the series in next week’s third Test at Perth’s WACA Ground where they have not won a Test since 1978. England rocked early in reply to big Aussie total“We always had the faith in the team and the belief,” said Australia skipper Steve Smith. England entered the final day 178 runs from victory with six wickets in hand after a dramatic momentum switch on Tuesday. Australia dismissed England for 227 on Monday but decided against sending them back in to bat despite holding a 215-run first innings lead. The highest winning fourth innings at the Adelaide Oval remains 315 for six by Australia against England in 1902.
