The second Ashes Test resumes on Day 4 at the Adelaide Oval with Australia looking to heap more pain on England as they build a terrifying 4th innings target for the tourists to have to try and chase down. Already ahead by 282 and with nine wickets in hand, Australia are well in control and England desperately need something very special to save this Test. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog from 3:00pm AEDT.

Having won the first session on Day Three, England suffered another batting collapse and then failed to make the pink ball work for them in the final evening session under the lights. They only picked up one wicket, and that was a run out! England know they are in deep trouble and only an incredible effort with both ball and bat can hope to save them in Adelaide.

It’s a tough position for Joe Root – he needs wickets and so will want to attack but he’s already 282 runs behind on the scoreboard so cannot afford to leak runs quickly either and give Australia more time to bowl at England in their final innings. Ben Stokes seemed to be struggling a bit with an injury last night and England fans will hope a good night’s sleep has him back able to take the fight to Australia.

For Australia they have time on their side, but they won’t want to hang around. There is some chance of rain on Sunday although forecasts suggest it’ll be done by the time play starts. You’d imagine that Australia will look to add another 100 runs or so and then start their efforts at getting those 10 English wickets.

It’s very possible that the match is wrapped up today if Australia have a good two sessions at England, including the evening one, but we might well drift into the final day if England can show some fight.

This Test – and arguably the Ashes – are Australia’s to lose in Adelaide.
