Ashes Series: England heading for another crushing defeat
16.13 IST   28th Dec 2002

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Australia are on course for another big win over England after forcing them to follow on in the fourth Ashes cricket Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday.

At stumps England had lost the wickets of opener Marcus Trescothick and Mark Butcher to be 111/2 with Michael Vaughan scoring a fighting 55 not out in 144 minutes and Hussain unbeaten on eight.

Only allrounder Craig White, batting with painkillers for a torn side muscle, offered stout resistance with an unbeaten 85 as England were dismissed for 270 in their first innings for a 281-run deficit.

England were still 170 runs short of Australia's mammoth first innings declaration of 551 for six.

Earlier, White narrowly missed scoring a well-deserved century in the first innings as England were forced to bat a second time after tea.

Yorkshire-born allrounder White, played a lone hand and was left stranded on 85 when he ran out of partners.

He featured in a 54-run partnership for the seventh wicket with John Crawley (17), 55 for the eighth wicket with James Foster (19) and a 37-run ninth-wicket stand with Andy Caddick (17).

Jason Gillespie finished with 4-25 off 16.3 overs, while legspinner Stuart MacGill and Brett Lee claimed two wickets each.
