On day 4, Australia finished with a mammoth total of 567/10 in the first innings, giving a strong reply to England’s first innings total of 384 runs.

In the second innings, England’s opening batsmen Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett failed to provide a good start to the batting, losing their wickets for 1 and 42 runs, respectively.

However, number three, Jacob Bethell, hammered an impeccable century to drive the team towards a powerful total. With his unbeaten 142 runs at the stumps of day 4, he played an anchor role in England’s batting as other batters failed to score half-centuries.
