In Nottingham, England, the English are on the verge of taking the Ashes back from Australia. In the five-match cricket series, England already leads 2-1. And after the first of two innings in the fourth match, England led by the enormous score of 391-60(!). Australia is now batting in their second innings, and they have to score 331 runs merely to force England to bat. So far the Aussies have used up one of their ten outs (known as "wickets"), and they have scored 113 runs. The match now looks like this:
