Dukes To Launch Investigation Over Fifth Ashes Test Ball-Swap Drama: Report
Cricket ball manufacturer Dukes has said it will launch an investigation into the ball change which occurred during Australia's second innings in the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval to be investigated, following which the visitors lost the match by 49 runs to England. After Mark Wood hit Usman Khawaja on the helmet with a bouncer on the first delivery of the 37th over on day five’s play, umpires Joel Wilson and Kumar Dharmasena changed the ball, citing that it had gone out of shape. But the replacement ball looked more newer than the previous ball, and completely changed the course of the match as Australia were bowled out for 334 in a chase of 384.
