The English team has scored 114 runs at the loss of four wickets. A catch became the subject of controversy on the fourth day of this match which has reached an exciting turn. Ben Duckett is unbeaten by scoring a half-century for the team. During this match, a catch of Ben Duckett caught by Mitchell Starc came into controversy.

Ben Duckett, who came to open for England, is standing at the crease after scoring 50 runs in 67 balls. On the fourth day, Duckett played a shot in Cameron Green's over and Starc caught the ball bouncing, but the ball had touched the ground. Despite this, the Australian team appealed for the dismissal. After this, the third umpire Duckett was declared not out. The Australian captain was seen talking to the on-field umpire regarding this decision of the third umpire.

The England team needed 371 runs to return to the series but lost four wickets for just 114 runs. Today the English team needs 257 runs on the last day. Last season too, the England team achieved the target of 378 runs against India at Edgbaston. The thing to be seen today will be whether England manages to make a comeback in the series or Australia gets a 2-0 lead.
