First Test, day two:
England 147; Australia 343-7As it happened: Warner also hits 94 after three let-offsThere was a period either side of tea on the second day at the Gabba where the Brisbane-based battalion of the Barmy Army were in full voice and the sleep-deprived viewers watching at home in the
UK had been rewarded for a collective patience that had been sorely tested.
Mark Wood had kept Steve Smith down to a mere 12 runs on a day of searing speeds, Ollie Robinson had found himself on a hat-trick by ending David Warner’s charmed pursuit of a 25th Test century on 94 and persuading Cameron Green to leave a ball on off-stump, and Chris Woakes had profited from Alex Carey’s skittish first innings as a Test batsman when a long-hop was clothed to midwicket on 12.
