Cricket-Second Ashes test

Nov 30 (Reuters) - Following is a factbox on the second test match between Australia and England, which starts on Saturday: WHERE? Adelaide Oval, Adelaide - Capacity: 53,000 The picturesque venue, next to the River Torrens and overlooked by St Peter's Cathedral, will host the first day-night test in Ashes cricket. The stadium has borne witness to some of the most dramatic moments in cricket history, including the "Bodyline" test in 1933, when England skipper Douglas Jardine devised a short-pitched bowling strategy to nullify Don Bradman. England last won an Adelaide test in 2010, when Kevin Pietersen's elegant 227 sent them on their way to an innings defeat of the hosts, allowing the tourists to open up a 1-0 lead in the series after a stalemate at the Gabba in the opener. The victory put Australia on the back foot and the hosts would go on to lose the series 3-1. Adelaide once had a reputation for being one of the best batting surfaces in the world but since the introduction of drop-in wickets in 2013, which have since settled, there has been a dramatic turnaround in the balance between bat and ball. This year, fast bowlers can count on additional assistance from the moving pink Kookaburra ball under the lights. WHEN? Dec. 2-6.
