Australia builds big score at the Ashes
Print Edition
Australia continued to build a big score by reaching 507 for seven at tea on the second day of the third Ashes test yesterday in Manchester, England, with Michael Clarke bashing 187 and pantomime villain David Warner going cheaply.
Captain Clarke is leading from the front with his under pressure side 2-0 down in the five-match series and he moved on to his highest test score against England of 168 not out, smashing Tim Bresnan for three straight fours as he topped 150.
Warner was widely booed by the Old Trafford crowd as he walked to the crease after Steve Smith had given away his wicket for 89 when he skied a top-edged sweep to Jonny Bairstow in spinner Graeme Swann’s first over of the day.
Warner was initially watchful but got a thick edge on five off Swann, the ball hitting wicketkeeper Matt Prior’s knee and bouncing up for slip Jonathan Trott to take the catch.
