Australia Struggles To Avoid Follow On At Edgbaston
Australia fights to avert the follow on on day four at Edgbaston after a lunch score of four wickets for 193 in reply to England 409. Tan Chappell 71 and Doug Walters 35 not out lead a troubled home side as Cowper and Sheahan fall cheaply. Ground conditions hinder play while England’s Cowdrey battles injury and Graveney leads the field. Australia’s gate share climbs toward 13,000 pounds with one day left, far above Manchester but short of Lord's takings.
