Second test, Day Four 5pm update: Root falls short Ryan Harris appeals for the wicket of Ben Stokes. ENGLAND is relying on its tail to save the second Ashes Test at Adelaide Oval. Joe Root's dismissal for 87 has left the tourists struggling at 5-186 with 18 overs left in the day's play. Test debutant Ben Stokes is on 12 and out-of-form wicketkeeper Matt Prior on 10. England's top five batsmen are back in the pavilion, with Aussie paceman Peter Siddle the major wicket-taker with two. Root was unlucky to lose his wicket, being caught behind by a diving Brad Haddin after getting an inside edge to Nathan Lyon which slammed into his pads before rebounding to the Australian keeper. Root batted defiantly for 267 minutes, facing 194 balls in his gritty stay.
