Warne strikes revive second Test Warne sets Aussies up for victory
(about 2 hours later)
England's hopes of securing a draw in the second Ashes Test were in disarray after four wickets fell before lunch on the final day in Adelaide. England crashed from probable draw to likely defeat on day five of the second Ashes Test in Adelaide.
Shane Warne claimed two victims and helped in a run out while Brett Lee had Andrew Flintoff caught behind. They began the day 59-1 but were bowled out for 129, leaving Australia needing 168 to win from 36 overs.
England went to lunch 89-5, leading by 127, with Paul Collingwood and Geraint Jones under real pressure. Shane Warne took four wickets and helped in a run out while Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee took two wickets each.
An unlucky Andrew Strauss (34), Ian Bell (26) and Kevin Pietersen (two) departed in the space of five overs. Andrew Strauss (34) was unlucky but Ian Bell (26) was run out while Kevin Pietersen, Andrew Flintoff and Geraint Jones all fell to unnecessary shots.
Collingwood, whose double century provided the backbone of the first innings, was in similar mood, working the first boundary of the day just before the break. Last-wicket pair Paul Collingwood and James Anderson survived for 41 minutes but Anderson's dismissal, lbw to McGrath with the final ball before tea, made England's chances look bleak.
But Jones looked nervous, playing and missing with some attempted cross-bat shots. No team in the history of Test cricket has declared on a higher first innings total than England's 551-6 and gone on to lose.
A match that saw just 17 wickets in the first four days was turned on its head as four fell in the morning session.
In baking heat, a sleepy crowd were expecting a draw as England began the day 59-1 but Warne, who took 40 wickets in the 2005 Ashes series, refused to let the match die.In baking heat, a sleepy crowd were expecting a draw as England began the day 59-1 but Warne, who took 40 wickets in the 2005 Ashes series, refused to let the match die.
Strauss's dismissal was unlucky as umpire Steve Bucknor upheld Warne's half-hearted appeal and Mike Hussey took the catch off pad at short leg. Strauss's dismissal was unlucky as short-leg fielder Mike Hussey took a catch off pad rather than bat and umpire Steve Bucknor upheld the leg-spinner's half-hearted appeal.
But batsmen were to blame for the wickets that followed, with Pietersen and Flintoff falling as they looked to re-establish the initiative with big shots.But batsmen were to blame for the wickets that followed, with Pietersen and Flintoff falling as they looked to re-establish the initiative with big shots.
Collingwood called Bell through for a quick single but the more established batsmen hesitated in obeying as point fielder Clarke threw to Warne at the non-striker's end.Collingwood called Bell through for a quick single but the more established batsmen hesitated in obeying as point fielder Clarke threw to Warne at the non-striker's end.
Pietersen has avoided sweeping his sparring partner Warne for much of this match.Pietersen has avoided sweeping his sparring partner Warne for much of this match.
He chose the wrong time to unveil the stroke to the fifth ball faced in this key innings, though, and was bowled round his legs by a delivery pitching out of the rough.He chose the wrong time to unveil the stroke to the fifth ball faced in this key innings, though, and was bowled round his legs by a delivery pitching out of the rough.
Coming to the crease for what could have been a career-defining innings, Flintoff's footwork was lacking as he wafted outside off stump at Lee and departed for two.

It is unlikely England coach Duncan Fletcher ate his lunch with a smile, even though two lower-order men included in the side for their batting would accompany Collingwood into the afternoon.
If he did, his reverie lasted just 10 balls after the break as wicket-keeper Geraint Jones groped at a full delivery a yard wide of off-stump and chipped to the gully fielder.
Three overs later, Ashley Giles got an edge to a fizzing Warne leg break that was taken at first slip for a duck.
Steve Harmison was given out lbw offering no shot, although he was well forward to a bouncing delivery to give Glenn McGrath his first wicket of the match.
Collingwood stood firm, although he arguably allowed the tail too much of the strike by taking singles too readily.
When he survived a drop off Warne, then punched him to the mid-wicket boundary in the penultimate over before tea it looked for a moment like things were turning back in England's favour.
But it was not to be as McGrath gained the benefit of a second marginal leg-before decision from umpire Rudi Koertzen.
