Australia v England: In the ongoing 2nd Ashes Test match, Australians have once again asserted dominance after declaring their second inning on 230/9. England's opening woes continued as they lost Haseeb Hameed for a duck in the 2nd over, while chasing 468. 

After setting up Haseeb Hameed in the 2nd over, Jhye Richardson finally got his man on the last ball of the over. RIchardson pitched the short length ball on a line where the seam could've gone either way. The ball was angling inwards which tempted the batter.

However, the extra bounce beat the English batter and the ball touched through the batter's glove as he was lunging low to defend the ball. Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey took a simple catch to get Richardson his first wicket in this comeback test. 

One down, nine to go!
