Dunya News
Mitchell Johnson produced a devastating display of swing bowling as Australia roared back into Ashes contention on day two of a riveting Perth Test.
Swing bowler Mitchell Johnson took six wickets to help Australia bowl out England for 187, giving the hosts an 81-run first innings lead in the third Ashes test. Then, Shane Watson scored 61 not out as Australia, trailing 1-0 in the series, reached 119-3 for a lead of 200 runs at the end of play.
In reply to Australia’s 268, England collapsed from a 78-0 to be bowled out just before tea on Friday, with Johnson taking 6-38.
Ian Bell top scored for England with a defiant 53 but the day belonged to Johnson and Australia, which positioned itself to push for a victory that would square the series. Johnson was supported by Ryan Harris who took 3-59.
