Australia all out for 513 v England

ADELAIDE, Dec 4 (Reuters) Matthew Hoggard captured seven wickets to bowl Australia out for 513 and give England a 38-run lead on the first innings in the second Ashes test today.

The England seamer added the scalps of Shane Warne, Michael Clarke and Stuart Clark to the four he took on Sunday to finish with 7/109 from 42 overs.

Australia were bowled out 47 minutes after tea on the fourth day at Adelaide Oval to finish just short of England's 551-6 declared but with a draw looming as the most likely result with only one day to go.

Clarke followed up his 50 from last week's first test in Brisbane with 124 to register his first test hundred in two years and his first against England.

Adam Gilchrist made 64 and Warne 43 after sharing a 118 partnership with Clarke before Australia lost their last four wickets for 11 runs.

Australia had started the day on 312-5, needing 40 more to avoid the follow-on, but any real hopes of a result faded once they passed the follow-on point in the first hour.

Gilchrist briefly threatened to go on the rampage, racing to his half-century off just 70 balls, but threw his wicket away with the total on 384 when he swept Ashley Giles straight to Ian Bell in the deep.

Clarke, who was once regarded as the golden boy of Australian cricket after making 151 on debut in India then 141 in his first test at home against New Zealand, pressed his claims for a permament recall with a flawless hundred.

The 25-year-old was only included in the team after all-rounder Shane Watson tore his hamstring before the first test but has enhanced his prospects of holding his spot after two impressive innings.

He batted 319 minutes, faced 224 balls and struck 10 boundaries before falling after tea when he was caught at mid-on off Hoggard in his first full over after tea.

Hoggard, 29, trapped Warne lbw with the last ball before tea then bowled Clark for a duck to claim his seventh five-wicket haul in tests.

England hold the Ashes after a 2-1 series victory in 2005.
