England's fifth day collapse has again turned the spotlight on England captain Joe Root's disastrous decision to send Australia in to bat on day one after winning the toss.
Root defended his controversial call during the post-match presentation, saying he expected more from hisbowling attack on day one with thepink ball.
"I don't regret it," Root told BT Sports.
"You want to give your bowlers the best chance — I fully expect those guys to take 10 wickets.
"There's a lot of things you can look back on and say you want to do different, but I don't think that's one of them."
Terrific test match under the lights here in Adelaide. Pretty even these two teams but England just got it horribly wrong at the toss when they sent Aust in & they declared at 8/442. The next 3 innings of the match were 227,138 & 233 ! Aust now 2-0, England need Wood & a miracle
Mitchell Starc claimed three wickets in 14 deliveries after taking the new ball to run through England's tail to deliver a famous Aussie win in the Second Test.
