Australia 273 runs/ 5 wickets(91.0 overs) - 1st Innings
The 2nd Ashes Test match started today right away with Australia's noses in front as they lead the rivalry series 1-0. The match started at the historical ground at Adelaide Oval. Australia having won the toss decided to bat first with their side unchanged where as England got a dubtant Ben Stokes for Jonathon Trott.
Australia started pretty firmly as David Warner cruised for his 29 runs but soon fell to Stuart Broad. On the other hand Chris Rogers did not loose his temprament and played well for his 72 runs but later he fell prey to Greame Swann. Though Australia were scoring well but their regular fall of wickets was a point of misery for them as Shane Watson, though he played well for 51 runs, could not hang on for a long time and got out by the hands of James Anderson giving an end to the inning's highest partnership of 121 runs between Chris Rgers and Shane Watson. The same passion was continued by the ODI skipper George Bailey but neither could he convert his 53 runs into a 3-figure score but nevertheless the boy got his maiden Test 50. The dismissal of Bailey broke the 83 runs stand between the skipper and himself. Steve Smith also fell easily to Monty Panesar for just 6 runs. Now Brad Haddin stands on the ground along with the inform Michael Clarke with their respective scores of 7* runs and 48* runs taking the Kangaroo's camp to a total of 273 runs/ 5 wickets at the end of the Day 1. Brad Haddin was dropped by Carberry at point on 5 runs only.
James Anderson, Greame Swann and Monty Panesar received wicket a-piece while Stuart Broad two of the Kangaroos.
Let's see if the dropped catch will cost too much like the other match or the England can fully dominate the remainig of the two batsmen. Still more than half to come which can take the game anywhere because it does not take long to turn over the match. So stay tuned in.......
