The Ashes 2021-22 is up and running at the Gabba in Brisbane. Australia’s grip over the game has been growing and growing. The whole English side bundled out for just 147 runs in the first innings. Jos Buttler finished as the highest run-scorer with 39 runs under his belly.
For Australia, all the quicks combined for the ten wickets. Captain Pat Cummins got a five-wicket hall, whereas Starc & Hazlewood got a couple of wickets each. All-rounder Chris Green took his maiden test wicket as well.
In reply, Australia lost Marcus Harris early, but then Marnus Labuschagne and David Warner combined for a century partnership. Ollie Robinson took the wicket of Marcus Harris, where Harris managed to score just three runs. After losing Harris, Warner and Labuschagne added 156 runs for the second wicket. Marnus got out on 74 runs in the ball of Jack Leach. Australia lost Steve Smith cheaply, who managed to score just 12 runs.
After the Lunch at Day-2, David Warner scored his 31st test half-century. Although, David Warner had his bag full of luck. He was bowled by Stokes when he was at 17 runs, but it was a no-ball. He was again dropped by Rory Burns in slips on Robinson’s delivery when he was at 48 runs. Even Haseeb Hameed had a chance at the short-leg to get Warner out. Warner completed his half-century on the last ball of the 33rd over. Mark Wood bowled an easy short-ball outside off, and Warner cuts it to get three runs.

After scoring his half-century in 102 balls, Warner accelerated his innings. However, he lost his set to luck when he reached close to the century milestone. Robinson bowled slower-delivery and Warner mistimed it to give Ben Stokes a simple catch. Ben Stokes could not believe his luck and was smiling on the pitch.
