Ashes Series: Australia in big trouble in Sydney Test
20.21 IST   05th Jan 2003

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Australia need to bat out the final day on Monday to avoid losing their first home Test in four years to England in the fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

England, who have lost last four Tests of the series, are on the verge of a remarkable victory having set the world champions a target of 452 runs for victory.

Australia last lost a Test match at home in December 1998, also against England, in the fourth Boxing Day Test in Melbourne by 12 runs.

England, who declared their second innings at 452 for nine on Sunday, made big inroads into the strong Australian batting lineup in the 20 overs to stumps, removing Justin Langer (3), Matthew Hayden (2) and Ricky Ponting (11).

At stumps, Australia were at 91 for three with pinch hitter Andy Bichel, on his highest Test score of 49 not out and Damien Martyn on 19.

No team has scored more than 276 in the last innings to win a Test at SCG.
