Ashes Second Test: Robinson strikes as Lyon departs

In a thrilling turn of events on the second day of the Ashes 2nd Test at Lord’s, England’s Ollie Robinson claimed a crucial wicket, dismissing Nathan Lyon. Robinson executed a brilliant plan, pushing the line wider off the off-stump.

Lyon attempted a square pull shot but failed to connect it cleanly, resulting in a top-edge. The ball soared high into the air before landing safely into the waiting hands of Josh Tongue. Tongue displayed excellent reflexes and made no mistake in completing the catch.
