England winning cricket
NZPA-Reuter Birmingham Centuries by opener Tim Robinson and his captain David Gower put England firmly in the ascendancy in the fifth cricket test against Australia at Edgbaston on Saturday. Robinson, enhancing his reputation with an unbeaten 140, and Gower, elegantly scoring 1,69 not out, shared a compelling unfinished second wicket stand of 317 which spurred England to 355 for one at the close of the third day.
