England raise hopes of a miracle victory in gripping TestADELAIDE: Skipper Joe Root led a spirited English fightback to frustrate Australia and raise hopes of a miracle victory in the gripping second Ashes Test in Adelaide on Tuesday. The highest winning fourth innings at the Adelaide Oval is 315 for six by Australia against England in 1902. Australia lost their second and last review when Dawid Malan survived an lbw shout on three off Josh Hazlewood, with the ball again tracked as going over the stumps, in the 43rd over. After the chaos of the previous night’s session when Australia lost four wickets, England had a much better time under the floodlights. England lost openers Alastair Cook and Mark Stoneman before the dinner break.
