Dropped catches and lethargic pace were the theme of the afternoon for England, as they struggled late on the first day of the second Ashes Test. 9News
Warner would eventually depart — out in the 90s for the second straight innings — but Labuschagne remained unbeated on 95 at stumps, with new captain Steve Smith beside him on 18.
The attack was handed back over to James Anderson and Stuart Broad with 35 minutes left in the day — but there was no breakthrough, save for a nasty short one that clipped Labuschagne's elbow., Labuschagne was dropped again on 95. As it were, the only real mea culpa from the visitors' selections came in the form of Jack Leach's absence.
Leach may not have been the answer, but Root was the architect of his own demise as the team again quickly fell behind the number of expected overs bowled.
