Wednesday, July 19, at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester, England bowler Stuart Broad’s struck first blood for the home team by dismissing Australian opener Usman Khawaja.
James Anderson, a local player who had been rested at Headingley, was back in the lineup when England won the toss and decided to bowl first.
David Warner quickly hit a boundary off Stuart Broad’s bowling to get the game going. In his third over of bowling, the England bowler trapped Khawaja in front of the stumps.
Khawaja was struck on the front pad by Broad’s delivery, which slanted in to beat Khawaja and was bowled beyond the off-stump line. After the ball tracking revealed three reds, the Australian hitter left after contesting the ruling through DRS.
