BIRMINGHAM, England : Australian Usman Khawaja's mammoth innings came to an end when he was bowled for 141 by Ollie Robinson before lunch on day three of the first Ashes test on Sunday, as the tourists just failed to surpass England's first-innings total of 393.
Australian all-rounder Cameron Green completed 1,000 runs in Test cricket on Saturday. Green accomplished this landmark during his side's first Ashes Test against England at Birmingham. In Australia's first innings, Green played a knock of 38 runs in 68 balls, which consisted of four boundaries and a six. He was clean-bowled by Moeen Ali. Ever since his Test debut in 2020, Green has played 22 Tests and has scored 1,010 runs in 31 innings at an average of 36.07. He has scored one century and six half-centuries. His best score is 114. He also has 26 wickets in the format, with the best figures of 5/27.
Mooen Ali produced a brilliant delivery to dismiss Cameron Green on Day 2 of the first Ashes Test encounter between England and Australia in Edgbaston on Saturday. Green was looking in dangerous form and it took a special delivery from the veteran spinner to send him packing for 38. The ball pitched quite a bit outside leg stump but turned back inside to complete beat Green's defenses and ultimately crash into his stumps. The batter was left completely surprised by the turn as the stadium erupted in cheer. Even former India spinner Harbhajan Singh took to Twitter to praise the unplayable delivery.
Former England Captain Nasser Hussain thinks that the Ben Stokes-led side was a little "sloppy" in the last session of the second day of the Ashes Test match against Australia at the Edgbaston here on Saturday. Usman Khawaja's 126 (279)* and Alex Carey's 52(80)* helped Australia to reach 311/5 in 94 overs on Day 2nd stumps, though still trailing by 82 runs. Hussain also pointed out missed stumping and dropped catches in the last session.
BIRMINGHAM, England: Opener Usman Khawaja raced away in delight and threw his bat high in the air after scoring his first Test century in England as Australia made 311-5 on day two of the Ashes at Edgbaston on Saturday.
Stuart Broad blamed the occasion of the Ashes and bowling on a "soulless" pitch for a costly no-ball as England were punished for a series of errors by Australia in the first Test.
Usman Khawaja ended his decade-long wait for a maiden Test hundred in England as he led an Australia recovery in the Ashes opener at Edgbaston on Saturday. Australia were struggling at 67-3 after Stuart Broad struck twice in two balls to remove David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne before England captain Ben Stokes captured the prize wicket of star batsman Steve Smith. But they had recovered to 311-5 at stumps on the second day of this five-match series, with opening batsman Khawaja 126 not out and wicketkeeper Alex Carey unbeaten on 52 in an unbroken stand of 91. That still left Australia 82 runs behind England's first-innings 393-8 declared built on Joe Root's 118 not out.
A superb century from Usman Khwaja kept Australia in the hunt in the opening Test of the Ashes series at Edgbaston, but England may rue missed opportunities. Australia began the day trailing England by 379 runs and looked in trouble on a couple of occasions, but Khawaja (126*) and Alex Carey (52*) put on 91 for the sixth wicket to cut the deficit to 82 at stumps on day two. Ad Carey and Khawaja were given reprieves by England in the evening session, but with the pitch beginning to misbehave on what is only the second day — and with the knowledge that Australia will have to bat last on a wearing surface — Ben Stokes’ men will still have high hopes.
