WATCH – Ben Stokes dismisses Cameron Green off an absolute jaffa during the 2nd Ashes Test

Ben Stokes and Cameron Green

The second Ashes Test match is currently underway at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide where Australia held a strong position at the end of Day 1. However, the English bowlers claimed a few quick wickets on Friday to get back into the game. All-rounder Ben Stokes has been the most successful bowler for the visitors with his two scalps.

After dismissing David Warner yesterday, the Englishman got out Cameron Green off a peach delivery on the third ball of the 112th over of the match. The right-arm pacer changed his end to bowl over the wicket and got rid of the batter on a full ball to castle Green’s stumps.

Interestingly, Ricky Ponting, who was commentating at that time, had predicted that Stokes will bowl a full delivery aiming at the timber.

Here’s the full video of Cameron Green’s dismissal:

Marnus Lanuschagne’s ton leads Australia to 302/5 at Dinner

Stand-in skipper Steve Smith took the right decision of batting first after winning the toss against England. Moreover, Aussie batters ensured to make the most out of this with a brilliant knock of 95 runs from Warner despite losing the quick wicket of Marcus Harris (3 off 28).

At number three, Marnus Labuschagne smashed a terrific century followed by an unbeaten half-century for Smith. The kangaroos will be looking to post a mammoth first innings total in front of the Joe Root-led side.

In the bowling department, Stuart Broad, Ollie Robinson, and skipper Root have all claimed a wicket each apart from Stokes’ two scalps.
