Day Two Friday Sep 13,2019
England batted twice in the day. In the morning they went from 271-8 to 294 all out, a total that looked short of par on a flat pitch.
Pace bowler
Archer was supported by three wickets from left-armer Sam Curran -
including two in two balls - as the tourists were bowled out for 225.
Jofra Archer ripped through the Australian batting line-up with six wickets for 62 runs, completing nine maidens in 23.5 overs
On his first appearance in the 2019 Ashes series, 21-year-old all-rounder Sam Curran took three important wickets
Steve Smith once again provided the biggest resistance for Australia with a score of 80
After falling to Jofra
Archer for five, David Warner became the first opener to suffer eight
single-figure dismissals in a single Test series. He now averages nine
in this Ashes, with 61 of his 84 runs coming in one innings at
Headingley.
There have now been 18 opening partnerships in succession in this series without a partnership of 50 - a world record.
Steve Smith now has a world record of his own: 10 successive scores of 50 or more against a single country, beating Inzamam-ul-Haq's sequence of nine for Pakistan against England. Smith's scores in that time have been 239, 76, 102*, 83, 144, 142, 92, 211, 82 and 80.
Steve Smith fell to Chris Woakes for the third time in the series - the only England bowler to dismiss him more than once (Stuart Broad, Joe Root and Jack Leach have each taken his wicket too)
Jofra Archer, only playing his fourth Test match, took his second five-for in Test cricket with an intelligent display of fast bowling
