ENG vs AUS 2nd Ashes Test, Day 2 Live: Steve Smith’s unbeaten 85, followed by fifties from David Warner and Travis Head took Australia to 339-5 on the opening day of the second Test against England at Lord’s on Wednesday. But off-spinner Joe Root, better known as the number one-ranked batsman in Test cricket, took two wickets in four balls late in the day.
His double strike ensured Ashes-holders Australia, 1-0 up in the five-match series after a thrilling two-wicket win at Edgbaston last week, did not have things all their own way at the ‘Home of Cricket’.
Australia were in a commanding position at 316-3, despite being sent into bat by England captain Ben Stokes in overcast conditions and on a green-tinged-pitch that promised to aid his five-strong pace attack.
But dashing left-hander Travis Head, scoring at better than a run-a-ball, then charged down the pitch only to be beaten by a sharply turning Root delivery with Jonny Bairstow, whose wicketkeeping had proved fallible in Birmingham, completing an excellent stumping.
Head was out for 77 following a stand of 118 with Smith where England were given a taste of their own ‘Bazball’ medicine.
But three balls later, Australia’s 316-4 became 316-5 when Cameron Green fell for a duck, slicing Root to James Anderson at mid-off.
