Adelaide: Mitchel Starc removed England captain Joe Root in the last over as Australia pushed for victory in the second Ashes test after setting a record target of 468 runs on Sunday.

Root, who was struck hard in the groin by Starc in his penultimate over on the fourth day, edged the leftarm paceman after scoring 24 in the last over that left England stuttering at 82-4.

England need to create history to win. The highest successful fourth-innings test run chase is the West Indies’ 418-7 against Australia in 2003. The highest successful fourth-innings chase in Adelaide is Australia’s 315-6 to beat England in 1901-02.

Struggling England opener Haseeb Hameed yet again flopped when Jhye Richardson found the glove of the opener in his first over and sent him packing without scoring.

Rory Burns (34) and Dawid Malan (20) shared 44 runs before Australia struck three times in the last session. Malan, who was dropped by captain Steve Smith in the lone slip off Nathan Lyon, didn’t last much longer and was out lbw to fast bowler Michael Neser in the next over.

Buttler, who has had mixed fortunes with the gloves in Adelaide, then dropped Smith from Broad’s next ball. Broad thought he had trapped Australia’s star batsman lbw with his next delivery, but the third umpire review upheld a close on-field decision of not out.

Smith’s reprieve was short-lived, with Ollie Robinson having the stand-in captain caught down the leg side by Buttler for six reducing the hosts to 55-4.

After tea, Head and Labuschagne fell playing big shots immediately after scoring their half-centuries, while Root (2-27) returned with his off spinners to dismiss Alex Carey (6) and Mitchell Starc (19).

Richardson (8) was caught by Buttler trying to heave Malan (2-33) into the stands prompting Smith to make his second declaration of the match.

Australia lead the five-match series 1-0.
