ADELAIDE (Reuters) – Australia beat England by 275 runs in the day-night second Ashes test at the Adelaide Oval on Monday to go 2-0 up in the five-match series.
Chasing a daunting victory target of 468, England were all out for 192 in the final session of the pink-ball contest.
Chris Woakes’ 44 was the highest individual score in England’s abject second innings batting display, while Jos Buttler frustrated Australia for a while with a dogged 26 off 207 balls.
Jhye Richardson was the pick of the Australian bowlers, claiming 5-42.
The third test begins in Melbourne on Sunday.
