English skipper Root had picked 1 wicket in the first inning of Australia too, dismissing Travis Head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AUS vs ENG 2nd Test Match<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After winning the toss, stand-in captain Steve Smith opted to bat first against England in the Adelaide Test. Pat Cummins, the regular captain of the Kangaroos, is not playing the 2nd test match due to injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batting first Smith-led Australia posted 473-9 and declared the innings on day 2. Test specialist Marnus Labschagne (103) smashed his 6th test century, while opening batter David Warner (95) and skipper Smith (93) missed their well deserved century. Allrounder Ben Stokes and James Anderson scalped 3 and 2 wickets, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

England in their first innings once again struggled after having a good start by their top-order batters. It has been the story of this English side. At some point, they will look so strong but instead of capitalizing on the moment, they’ll lose their wickets at crucial times in the game. At once England was looking strong at 150-2, with Root and Malan batting together. But when Root (62) got dismissed by Cameron Green, the three lions went back to the pavilion, one after the other. From 150-2 to England was dismissed at 236-10. Pace bowler Mitchell Starc and spinner Nathan Lyon picked up 4 & 3 wickets, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
