Australia thrash England by 275 runs in second Ashes Test to take 2-0 lead
Buttler leads resistance but Australia prevail in final session
English hopes of salvaging something from the day-night Test were assumed to rest on the shoulders of Ben Stokes, who resumed at the crease alongside Ollie Pope on the final day of play with a clear remit to block as long as possible.But the odds that England could bat the entire day and salvage an unlikely draw lengthened with Stokes’s dismissal 14 overs into afternoon. By that time, Pope had already departed.
England continued an unlikely resistance, however, that frustrated Australia. A gutsy partnership between Chris Woakes and Jos Buttler significantly extended the day as they managed to navigate England safely to the dinner break without further loss. England were just a few minutes away from the tea break when Lyon picked off Robinson, who hung around for 39 balls and eight runs before fending to slip.
