Leeds, England, August 18: England fast bowler Darren Gough warned Friday that there was still plenty of hard work ahead for his side to do if they were to excape with a draw from the fourth Ashes Test at Headingley and prevent Australia going 4-0 up in the series.

Gough took five for 103, his fourth five wickets or better innings return against Australia, as the tourists were dismissed for 447 on the second day.

At the close England were 155 for two, still 93 short of avoiding the follow on.

But captain Nasser Hussain, 45 not out and Mark Butcher 47 not out, had shown that resistance was possible and Gough was hoping for more of the same come Saturday.

"The way those two dug in tonight showed that we have got some good players in England and that they can fight. Hopefully they'll be around tomorrow and hopefully the sun will be out."

Gough insisted no-one in the England camp was thinking about winning a match from such a difficult position. "I don't know many teams that have got 440 odd and lost the game.

"We'd have to bat really well and if we're batting last we'd need a big lead which would mean getting around 600 this innings.

"There's not been many 600s at Headingley in the last 25 years," added Gough perhaps forgetting Australia's 601 for seven declared here in 1989 and their 653 for four declared in 1993.

"The pitch got a bit quicker today and a bit of uneven bounce. It will probably get slower and more uneven as the game goes on," Gough added.

He insisted that despite England's fightback there would be no lack of confidence in the Australia dressing room.

"If you speak to their boys they will still say they are going to win.

"They are obviously confident, they've been winning for a long time. We just take one day at a time.

"It's going to be hard in the morning against (Glenn) McGrath as it was tonight. The idea is to get over the first half hour and bat on," said Gough who also said this match offered England a chance to restore their reputation.

"Before we started the series I was hopeful we were going to win it.

"We haven't played well, we haven't bowled well as a team or batted well as a team.

"But now we're starting again, we've got two games to show how well we can play and hopefully this will be one of them."
