Australia ended the second day of the first Ashes Test 82 runs behind England after Usman Khawaja scored a century. Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith both went before lunch, with Labuschagne falling for a golden duck to Stuart Broad’s outswinger. Earlier in the year, Broad revealed he’d been working with Nottinghamshire bowling coach Kevin Shine on developing the outswinger, which was aimed at Labuschagne and Steve Smith. England legend Bob Willis was honoured on the second day of the game, with Edgbaston turning ‘Blue for Bob’ to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research. Ben Stokes surprised many by calling fan-favourite Harry Brook to bowl an over at Steve Smith, but the part-time medium pacer couldn’t grab his second Test scalp. Steve Smith fell to an LBW decision against Ben Stokes, marking the fourth time in four innings he has been given out LBW against English opposition this summer. The England team’s benched players have been encouraged to stay and sample the Ashes atmosphere by coach Brendon McCullum. Barmy Army trumpeter Simon Finch has also been in demand at the event, receiving a request to perform Amazing Grace for the residents of new apartments that look over the ground.
