Josh Hazlewood claims his 10th five-wicket haul in Tests: Stats
Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood claimed a fifer in the fourth Ashes Test in Manchester. Hazlewood finished with 5/126 from 27 overs to claim his 10th five-wicket haul in Tests. Australia struggled against the Englishmen and their Bazball tactics. England managed 592/10 in their first innings and have a 275-run lead over Australia on Day 3. Here are the details.
Five wickets for Hazlewood
Hazlewood got the key wicket of Joe Root, who perished for 84 on Day 2. On Friday, he dismissed the dangerous Harry Brook with the new ball after banging in short. Chris Woakes was next, poking at a ball that shaped away. Mark Wood then got beaten to be bowled before Hazlewood dismissed Stuart Broad, who went for an almighty swing.
England dominate the Aussies
Australia were left reeling after England took charge on Day 2 and scored at a rapid pace. Resuming Day 3 on 384/4, Australia were helped by some clinical bowling by Hazlewood but as a unit, the Aussies failed. Jonny Bairstow (99*) made the difference.
Hazlewood races to 235 scalps
Hazlewood now has 235 scalps at an average of 26.04. Versus England, the right-arm pacer has bagged 73 scalps at 25.38. In 11 matches on English soil, Hazlewood has raced to 49 scalps at 25.20.
