SCORECARD | TEXT COMMENTARY
England – connected with Australia at 1-1 in the series after Ben Stokes’ heroics at Headingley 10 days back – picked up a wicket from the fourth ball of the match, when Broad disregarded David Warner (0).
Warner snicked supporting attempting to leave because he fell to Broad that string; the batsman recording his first time single-figure score of their Ashes and also his next duck in a row.
Broad after made Warner’s opening partner, Marcus Harris (13), his second victim of the morning after pinning the left-hander lbw – umpire Kumar Dharmasena’s on-field conclusion maintained when Harris’ review showed the ball could have clipped the top of the stumps.
Harris’ depart brought Smith with the Headingley Test using a concussion having sat from he suffered when he had been hit at Lord’s on the throat with the Archer delivery at the second game of this collection.
Archer relished his duel using Smith (28no) continuing, cranking up his speed to the 30-year-old after operating in the low eighties earlier in his own spell.
Stokes, however, came closest to forcing another breakthrough, just for Marnus Labuschagne (49no) to endure a review using a hooping in-swinger simply set to brush his leg stump.
Before Leach’s Somerset team-mate, Craig Overton, obtained his first bowl at a home Test for England labuschagne, promoted with Usman Khawaja dropped to # 3 edged spinner Jack Leach just wide of Stokes at slide.
Smith could have run out at the non-striker’s end had his boot towards the stumps following Labuschagne’s straight push been on target since Australia remained just two wickets down, but was a ball shift following the impact from the seamer’s shoe.
