England started the game on Monday with a score of 28 for 2 on the fourth day of the match. However, after that Ollie Pope (14), Joe Root (46) and Harry Brook (46) were dismissed at regular intervals. Ollie Pope became the first batsman to be dismissed on the day. Cummins ended his innings by blasting Pope for a triple on a penetrating yorker. (Eng vs Aus Ashes 2023)
Next, Joe Root and Harry Brooke, who contributed 46 runs each, put on a 52-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Root was then caught by wicketkeeper Karekarvi as Lyon advanced to try to hit a big shot to the legside. Root could not hide his disappointment after Carey destroyed the wicket. After his dismissal, the silence among the fans was understandable. It was Lyon’s first wicket of the day. (Eng vs Aus Ashes 2023)
Harry Brooke also became another friend of Lyons. Like Root, Brooke was disappointed after having to bounce back from the half-century mark. His attempt to sweep misses and Labuschagne, deployed at midwicket, takes an easy catch. When Brook was dismissed, England were 150 for 5. Later he reached 273 all out.
