Ashes 2017/18, 2nd Test: 5 things we learnt from the third day's play

#1 James Anderson does a Neil Wagner

Anderson bowled a much fuller length and consequently looked more threatening

James Anderson did a Neil Wagner by bowling 10 overs on the trot from one end after Steven Smith opted to bat again instead of sending England in. The Lancashire seamer was much more effective, landing the ball much fuller than in the first innings and generating prodigious swing through the air.

The pink ball swings extravagantly under lights and Anderson thoroughly enjoyed exploiting the movement on offer. A fullish length delivery that swung away accounted for Cameron Bancroft as the opener nicked off to Jonny Bairstow. Usman Khawaja followed, in Anderson's 10th over of the spell. The seamer came around the wicket, angled one in to Khawaja and made it seam away, befuddling the no.3 and rapping him on the pads right in front of the stumps.
