BIRMINGHAM, England : Australian Usman Khawaja's mammoth innings came to an end when he was bowled for 141 by Ollie Robinson before lunch on day three of the first Ashes test on Sunday, as the tourists just failed to surpass England's first-innings total of 393.
Khawaja played with great composure for most of his knock, showcasing his experience as he picked off the singles and kept the ship steady. Earlier, James Anderson was denied Carey's wicket in the day's first over due to a Jonny Bairstow drop, but an angling delivery from the veteran bowler snared the Australian for 66 two overs later, ending his 118-run stand with Khawaja.
