Australia vs England, Ashes 1st Test Day 2 Live:After restricting England to 147 in the first innings, Australia lost their first wicket early on the second day of the first Ashes Test at the Gabba in Brisbane. Olly Robinson was the wicket-taker for the English side as he dismissed Marcus Harris with his scintillating outswing delivery. Ben Stokes, playing his first match after the break due to mental health, has impressed with the ball so far. The all-rounder had also hit the bail on David Warner’s no ball in his first over. David Warner, who got the lifeline after Stokes’ no-ball, is going strong with Marnus Labuschagne in the middle. Earlier, Australia captain Pat Cummins had taken 5 wickets in the first innings of England’s batting, helping the home team gain early momentum not only in the game but also in the series.
