Melbourne: England who were confused about losing four goals in a very hostile mantra to leave them still trailing 51 walking and struggling to prevent Monday’s defeat on the second day of the third ash test that gripped against Australia.
It happened after visitors – who had to win in Melbourne – rocked by four positive Covid cases in their camp, even though no players were between them.
Australia is all out for 267, getting a 82-run advantage in the first English innings 185 on the MCG field which still offers a lot for the bowler.
Marcus Harris Top-Scholed with a coverage of 76 against a dangerous English attack led by Veteran Jimmy Anderson, the scariest with 4-33 off 23 overs.
After a severe defeat in Brisbane and Adelaide, England must win to keep the five tests of the test alive, with Australia only requires a draw to maintain a jar as holder.
