New Delhi: In the last Test match of the Ashes series being played between Australia and England, Australia has made a strong hold on England. Australia, which had won the series in the first three matches, defeated the England bowlers badly and took its innings to 567 runs. During this period, Australia’s batsmen performed brilliantly and adopted an aggressive attitude against the England bowlers. Now England may be in danger of facing an innings defeat in this match.

Australia’s strong innings
In response to England’s 384 runs, Australia scored 567 runs in the first innings and set a huge score for England. Both Australia’s leading batsmen Travis Head (163 runs) and Steve Smith (138 runs) scored brilliant centuries, which made the team’s score even stronger. In the end Beau Webster also played an important inning of 71 runs and took the team to a huge score.

Among the England bowlers, Brayden Carse and Josh Tong took three wickets each, but these fast bowlers got tired due to long bowling and after the injury to Stokes, England’s bowling decreased. Stokes did not complete the overs during the match, which weakened England’s bowling.

A matter of concern for England
This match is not looking easy for the England team. Australia got a lead of 183 runs in the first innings, and now it has become difficult for England to bridge that gap. At the beginning of the fourth day, England lost the first wicket while batting, which has increased their worries further. England’s leading batsmen Joe Root (160 runs) and Harry Brook (84 runs) played good innings, but the team’s score could reach only 384.

Difficult period for English batting
The England team is now struggling to avoid innings defeat. In this match, England will have to bring stability in their batting and score runs quickly, so that they can chase Australia’s huge score.

Meanwhile, if Australia wins this match, the series will end 4-1 which would be a big blow for England. England will now just have to strengthen their batting and try to avoid innings defeat at any cost.
