Australia stands on the brink of retaining cricket's most famous urn, needing only four more wickets to secure a dominant victory in the day-night Ashes Test at Adelaide Oval.
England's Miraculous Task
England will resume their second innings on the final day at a precarious 6 for 207, still requiring a further 228 runs to achieve an unlikely win. Their hopes now rest on either a miraculous batting performance or significant weather intervention to force a draw and keep the series alive.

Ashes Destiny in Australia's Hands
The Australian bowling attack, which has controlled proceedings for much of the match, now has a clear and simple objective: take those final four wickets. A victory here would see Australia retain the Ashes, taking an unassailable lead in the series and continuing their recent dominance on home soil.
For England, the equation is stark. Only a record-breaking partnership or a dramatic turn in the weather can prevent Australia from celebrating another famous triumph at the iconic Adelaide Oval.
