England saw the back of Usman Khawaja with an unconventional field set-up on Day 3 of the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Khawaja’s painstaking century had effectively turned the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston into a one-innings shoot-out on Sunday before Ollie Robinson cleaned him up with a yorker delivery to bring England back in the game. As many as six fielders were brought really close to the southpaw, hardly leaving any gap for him to score in front of the wicket.
SIX catchers in and the plan works 👏
Khawaja gone for 141.
