Ashes 2017: 2nd Test, day 1, 5 things we learnt from the day

#2 Usman Khawaja's day-night obsession continues

Usman Khawaja looked in exceptional touch as he notched up a fine half-century

Usman Khawaja has a thing for day-night Tests. He hit a fabulous 145 at Adelaide against South Africa last year in the day-night Test, when Australia were trailing 2-0 in the series. His century had then helped the hosts save their face with a consolation win. Against Pakistan, in Australia's third day-night game, Khawaja once again hit his straps with a fine half-century.

Against England, Khawaja was once again at it, enjoying the pink ball while several batsmen have kept complaining about the same. He remained unbeaten on 53 by dinner, courtesy a dropped catch by Mark Stoneman. However, he fell to Anderson without adding to his tally after the dinner break.
