The Adelaide Test is perfectly poised as we head into the final day after England came roaring back into the match on the penultimate day.

The tourists need 178 runs more to win on Wednesday while Australia need six wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the Ashes.

Vaughan sounded pessimistic at the start of the day but his optimism increased with every passing minute.
