Australia vs England: Ollie Robinson surprised everyone when he opted to ball off-spin on Day 4 of the ongoing second Ashes Test in Adelaide.
With Australia reeling at 79/4 in their second innings on Day 4 of the second Ashes Test match at the Adelaide Oval, the England camp sprung a surprise when fast bowler Ollie Robinson was seen bowling off-spin. Sunglasses on, the lanky tall pacer even managed to extract a bit of spin and bounce off the pitch, which surely would have made even Nathan Lyon proud. In a rare instance of pacers turning to off-spin, Robinson brought the crowd to its feet and had them glued in, giving away only 2 runs against Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne. Having Joe Root out at that time, Robinson put his hands up and replaced his skipper's off-spin with his own. England pacer Ollie Robinson bowling off spin#Ashes #Ashes2021pic.twitter.com/ado3C7MC0V
At the Dinner break, Robinson had figures of 1/36 in 11 overs.
Earlier in the day, England got off to a brilliant start with veteran pacers James Anderson and Stuart Broad claiming a wicket each to put Australia under a little bit of pressure.
However, despite losing three wickets in the morning session, Australia finished strongly at the dinner break at 134/4 in 44 overs.
