Stuart Broad discounted David Warner for its seventh time in the show as Australia was reduced by England into 68-3 at lunch in their bidding to get a draw on day four of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.
SCORECARD | AS IT HAPPENED
Warner (11) edged Broad to Rory Burns at slip to finish a dreadful string with 95 runs in 10 innings at an average of 9.50 – that the left-hander’s final knock only the next time he reached double figures.
Warner and Marcus Harris (9) had finished Australia’s highest opening stand that summer – a paltry 18 – before Broad delivered Harris’ away stump cartwheeling from around the wicket.
Australia, pursuing 399 for victory after dismissing England for 329, were subsequently steadied from the usual suspects Steve Smith (18no) and also Marnus Labuschagne (14) – only for Jack Leach to reverse a delivery beyond the latter external border and have him overrun by Jonny Bairstow.
Leach (9) along with Jofra Archer (3) dropped inside 20 minutes after England had resumed on 313-8 – Archer out caught behind on inspection after he had been shown to have gloved Pat Cummins down the leg-side, also Leach captured off Nathan Lyon (4-69) at mid-on later top-edging a sweep.
Until his two wickets and one for Leach boosted their hopes of a 2-2 draw broad swelled the complete of England by thumping two sixes off Cummins.
Smith – that currently has Matthew Wade (10no) for company – still stands in their way, though.
