England edge towards Ashes victory
Sunday, 11 September 2005 19:39England look to be on course for Ashes victory after day four of the fifth and final test was ruined by bad light.
England will resume on 34 for one in their second innings, 40 runs ahead of Australia with 98 overs scheduled to be bowled for Monday.
Matthew Hoggard is bracing himself for one last battle saying: "We know we are in for another big fight. They have one last chance to win the Ashes and we know they will come at us hard."
England were delighted with their fightback today, when they took the last eight Australia first-innings wickets for 90 runs.
"I don't think we could have asked for a better day," Hoggard added.
