[Watch] Ollie Robinson provides crucial breakthrough as Cameron Green chops back onto stumps on Day 5 of Ashes opener

England speedster Ollie Robinson once again delivered for his team when they needed it the most on Day 5 of the Ashes opener at Edgbaston on Tuesday (June 20).

The 29-year-old ended the crucial 49-run sixth wicket partnership between Cameron Green and Usman Khwaja, dismissing the former to bring England back into the contest.

The dismissal took place in the 64th over of Australia’s innings when Green chopped a length ball from Robinson back onto his stumps. With the dismissal, the visitors slumped to 192-6 during their 281-run chase.

The hosts will now look to take the remaining four wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match Test series.
