Scott Boland had Ollie Pope nicking to the wicketkeeper in an inspired spell, and the seamer should have had Chris Woakes too but the England all-rounder was reprieved twice in the slip cordon, once by David Warner and another time by Usman Khawaja. Pat Cummins was the wrecker-in-chief through the middle session on day two of the Hobart Test that saw a floundering England slip to 124/6 in reply to Australia’s 303. The Australian captain dismissed Joe Root and Dawid Malan before Mitchell Starc and Boland added a wicket each to leave England gasping.
Oh no! Warner can’t hold as Woakes gets a life first ball #Ashes pic.twitter.com/xZ48aHXEhP
