THE ASHES SECOND TEST 71
SPORT IN BRIEF
DAVID WARNER 1
Fell to Broad in single figures
for the third innings in succes-
sion, then failed to get into line
against Archer. Now has 18 runs
in the series at an average of 4.5.
Dropped catches, too.CAMERON BANCROFT 5
BAttleD hard twice, facing
106 balls in total, but could
make only 13 and 16.USMAN KHAWAJA 5
CouNter-AttACkeD briefly
in the first innings for 36, but
remains vulnerable outside off.STEVE SMITH 8
PlAyeD his part in one of test
cricket’s great vignettes, but
should he really have been
allowed to bat again after being
felled by Archer?MARNUS LABUSCHAGNE 7. 5
test cricket’s first concussion
substitute was knocked to the
ground second ball by Archer,
but made a gutsy half-century.TRAVIS HEAD 6
thANks to a drop in the slips
by roy, head was able to
shepherd Australia to safety.
epitomised his team’s uncer-
tainty in the first innings.MATTHEW WADE 2
his flat-track hundred at
edgbaston felt like a distant
memory. All at sea against seam
in the first innings, he was spun
out by leach in the second.TIM PAINE 5
CoulDN’t handle the pace of
Archer. Questionable decision
to insert england almost came
back to bite him.PAT CUMMINS 8
ANother superb perform-
ance from the man ranked No 1
in the world. Bounced out Burns
again and inflicted a blow with
first-ball dismissal of root.PETER SIDDLE 6
struggleD to contain
england. every chance he’ll be
replaced by James Pattinson in
leeds later this week.NATHAN LYON 6
Drew level with Dennis lillee
on 355 wickets during a skilful
first-innings performance, but
none for 102 in the second were
his third-worst figures.JOSH HAZLEWOOD 7
MetroNoMiC on the first day
but drifted out of the game after
that. even so, looks made for
english conditions.AVERAGE 5.0

Roar skill:
Stokes is
elated to
reach his
centuryRORY BURNS 6.5
roDe his luck in both innings,
and will be targeted by the short
ball now. But after recent eng-
land openers, scores of 53 and
29 were a glorious triumph.JASON ROY 1
it’s hard to give him anything
more than his batting average
for the test. his third-ball duck
in the first innings was a horror
show. Dropped head in the slips
on the final evening, too.JOE ROOT 3
looks out of sorts and might
now be fretting about leg-before
and caught behind — both
edges of his bat. his career aver-
age of 48.34 is now lower than it
has been for five years.JOE DENLY 6
gAiNs a point for his wonder-
catch to dismiss Paine, but
twice got out when well set.
Must convert his starts.BEN STOKES 8
his first test hundred for two
years was high-class third-
innings batting. it began with
england in bother and ended
with him hitting sixes at will.JOS BUTTLER 6
FolloweD a nondescript
first-innings dismissal with a
display of self-denial in the sec-
ond which may serve him well.JONNY BAIRSTOW 7. 5
worlD CuP exhaustion is offi-
cially over. After 14 runs in his
previous four test innings,
Bairstow reannounced himself
with a vital 52 then a quickfire
30 to set up the declaration.CHRIS WOAKES 7
reMoveD smith for the sec-
ond time in the series, having
contributed a valuable 32.JOFRA ARCHER 9
it would be inaccurate to say a
star is born, since that hap-
pened during the world Cup.
But Archer’s duel with smith,
and his new-ball burst on the
last day, give england hope they
can still win this series.STUART BROAD 8
CoNtiNueD his stranglehold
over warner and looked world-
class from round the wicket to
Australia’s left-handers. has
risen superbly to the challenge.JACK LEACH 7. 5
wAsN’t needed much in seam-
friendly conditions until the
final afternoon, but did his bit
with figures of 27.3-8-56-4.AVERAGE 6.3
