Stuart Broad picked up Australia's first wicket on opening day of the second Test.
England's veteran pacer Stuart Broad struck early on the opening day of the second Ashes Test to remove Australia opener, Marcus Harris. It was wicket-keeper Jos Buttler who took an outstanding one-handed catch to ensure Harris' dismissal.
Broad bowled a short delivery and Harris tried to play the ball to fine leg area when Buttler put in a full stretched dive to his right side for a jaw-dropping catch. The fans were in awe of Buttler's incredible effort behind the stumps.

The official digital content account of Cricket Australia tweeted the video and wrote, "INSANE! Buttler pulls in an all-timer behind the stumps! #Ashes".
Australia won the toss and decided to bat first in the Day-Night Test match. After losing Harris early on a score of 4, David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne posted a partnership of over 100 runs for the second wicket. At Tea, after 53 overs of Australia's innings, their score read 129/1 with Warner batting on 65* and Labuschagne on 53*.
The hosts are playing without their full-time Test captain Pat Cummins, who was ruled out of the second match after coming in close contact with a Covid positive case in an Adelaide restaurant.
Australia are led by Steve Smith, while Travis Head is the video captain. Michael Neser replaced Cummins in the playing eleven for pink-ball Test.
