England Bowled Out for 334 in Day One of Second Ashes Test – SUCH TV
England were dismissed for 334 in their first innings of the day-night second Ashes Test against Australia in Brisbane on Friday, with Joe Root remaining unbeaten on 138.
The visitors resumed day two on 325-9, with Root guiding England from a precarious 5-2 early on.
This marked his first century on Australian soil and 40th overall in Test cricket.
Root and Jofra Archer added nine more runs for the final wicket before Archer fell for a career-best 38, caught brilliantly by Marnus Labuschagne off Brendan Doggett.
Their 70-run 10th-wicket partnership set a new record for England at the Gabba.
Earlier, opener Zak Crawley scored 76 and Harry Brook added 31 to England’s total.
For Australia, veteran Mitchell Starc was the standout bowler, taking 6-75, and in the process, surpassed Wasim Akram to become the most successful left-arm fast bowler in Test cricket history.
Australia won the first Test in Perth by eight wickets inside two days.
