Hobart, Jan 15 England were 124/6 in their first innings at Tea, trailing Australia by 179 runs on the second day of the fifth and final Ashes Test, here on Saturday.Resuming the second session from 34/2, England lost the wickets of Dawid Malan (25), Joe Root (34), Ben Stokes (4) and Ollie Pope (14) and added 90 runs before going for Tea in the day-night Test.England had lost their openers Rory Burns (0) and Zak Crawley (18) in the short period of batting before the Dinner break but they had the successful pair of Root and Malan to get wade them out of trouble. They began well and Malan was handed a reprieve when he edged a ball from Cameron Green that went unspotted by the fielding side.Soon, the boundaries also began flowing as Root picked up a couple off Boland while Malan hit a couple off Green. With runs flowing easily, Australian skipper Cummins was forced to bring Starc and himself into the attack.The left-arm pacer went for 13 in his over but Cummins ended the 49-run stand by strangling Malan down the legside. After Malan's departure, Cummins got rid of his counterpart with a sharp nip-backer that caught Root on the back-foot and pinged him on the knee-roll for a straightforward LBW decision.England slid further when Ben Stokes played a Starc delivery towards backward point where Nathan Lyon took a stunning catch, leaving the visitors struggling at 85/5.Boland then returned to the attack and got Ollie Pope nicking to the wicket-keeper. The pacer would have had Chris Woakes too but the England all-rounder was reprieved twice in the slip cordon, once by David Warner and another time by Usman Khawaja.In the end, Woakes and debutant Sam Billings remained not out till Tea and had a mountain to climb in the final session.Earlier, resuming the day at 241/6, Australia added 62 more in the morning session, getting bowled out for 303 in their first innings. Nathan Lyon played a useful cameo of 31 runs, allowing Australia's final four wickets to add 62 runs.Brief scores: Australia 303 (Travis Head 101, Cameron Green 74; Stuart Broad 3/59, Mark Wood 3/155) vs England 124/6 (Joe Root 34; Pat Cummins 3/32). England trail by 179 runs.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
