In the ongoing Ashes 1st test match between Australia & England, Australia were cruising towards a big total at one point but then a flurry of wickets has brought England somewhat back in the game. David Warner scored a fifty courtesy of some good fortune but was finally dismissed for 94.

David Warner was riding on his good luck as he survived 4 times - two dropped catches, one easy runout chance & once he was bowled but it was a no-ball by Ben Stokes. Warner smacked 94 runs off 176 balls with 11 fours & 2 sixes. However, his luck ended as he was dismissed by Ollie Robinson.

On the 2nd delivery of the 56th over, Ollie Robinson pitched a slower ball, an off-cutter which Warner chipped straight into the air, towards mid-off. The Australian opener was completely beaten by pace, and Ben Stokes dived forward and completed a dolly catch to dismiss Warner. Stokes had a big smile on his face, unable to believe that he has caught out David Warner. 

On the very next delivery, Robinson dealt another blow to the Australian team as he dismissed the 22-year-old allrounder Cameron Green for a golden duck. Green had a series of good scores - three 40s and one fifty against India in the Border Gavaskar trophy. Robinson angled the ball into Green at 128 kph and Green just raised his arms to leave the ball. The ball jagged back and dislodged the top of the off-stump, sending the batter back the first ball.
