Ashes 2017/18, 5th Test, Day 3: 5 things we learnt from the day

#5 Usman Khawaja smashes maiden Ashes hundred

Australia's Usman Khawaja was in sizzling touch on day 3

Usman Khawaja had appeared mediocre in this series thus far but all it takes for good batsmen to turnaround their fortunes is one knock and Khawaja's came with barely two innings remaining in the whole series. The flair-filled southpaw played some attractive shots on day 2 and had gone into the nineties by stumps.

He reached his landmark, yet again off Moeen Ali, a sign that he has overcome his woes against the off-break bowler. With England taking the new ball shortly, Khawaja was a picture of tranquillity, negotiating James Anderson and Stuart Broad with his dogged dead bat and latching onto anything loose and wide. He raced to 171 before he eventually fell to debutant Mason Crane.
