David Warner has fallen agonisingly short of an Ashes century, with his knock ending in “terribly unlucky” circumstances. Details:
Australian vice-captain Steve Smith has fallen just before the tea break, with England speedster Mark Wood getting the key breakthrough in the 53rd over.
But the 32-year-old knock came to an abrupt end when he feathered a catch through to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler off Wood’s bowling. However, Labuschagne was brought undone when he lost his cool and stepped away from a ball that he ended up cutting straight to Mark Wood at gully. Having already been bowled on a no-ball by Ben Stokes when he was on just 17 runs, Warner has moved past 50 after Rory Burns dropped a regulation catch moving to his left at second slip.Former Aussie test captain Alan Border said Burns had to take the catch to revive England.In a nightmare for England, Warner was given a third life when Haseeb Hameed could have dismissed him with a genuine run-out opportunity.
Aussie cricket legend Ricky Ponting earlier described it as a pathetic” performance from the officials after England quick Ben Stokes got away with bowling three consecutive no-balls — with none of them being recorded or called. “Hence why that ball when Warner was supposedly out was tracked. When we look back and saw they were deliveries prior to that not spotted, that is the responsibility of the on-field umpire.”
