England paceman Ollie Robinson said he had been "in the heat of the moment" after giving Usman Khawaja a strong send-off in the first Test at Edgbaston on Sunday.
England pacer Ollie Robinson said that he does not care about how his aggressive send-off to Australian batter and centurion Usman Khawaja is perceived by the Australian dressing room, since it is part of the "passion of the Ashes" and he is here to provide the "theatre of the game" to everyone who wants it. England managed to survive Day-3 with a lot of help from the heavens, as persistent rain brought an early halt to play for the day. In Australia's first innings, after Ollie took the big wicket of Usman for 141, he gave a loud and aggressive send-off to the batter while celebrating, which might have involved some abusive words.

As many as six fielders were brought really close to the southpaw, hardly leaving any gap for him to score in front of the wicket.
