Australia regain control of first Test BRISBANE, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Australia regained control of the opening Ashes Test on Saturday, ripping through the English batting order then building a commanding 278-run lead with two days to go. There was no repeat of England's inspired fightback the previous day as the tourists collapsed to be all out for 325 after resuming at 158 for one. Australia, ahead by 167 on the first innings, then tightened the screws on England, reaching 111-2 at the close for an overall lead of 278. Matthew Hayden, showing no signs of fatigue after his first-innings 197, was not out 40 at the close of play with Damien Martyn also unbeaten on 40. |
