Australia’s victory celebrations after the first Ashes Test have been tempered by question marks over the fitness of David Warner and Josh Hazlewood. But he was also forced to ease a couple of his most senior men through the second half of the match. Josh Hazlewood was in some pain in England’s second innings (Jason O’Brien/PA)Hazlewood was used sparingly in England’s second innings, bowling just 14 overs out of 103, and was suffering from an undisclosed injury. Warner, meanwhile, suffered bruised ribs after taking a couple of blows from Ben Stokes and did not come out to bat as Australia chased down their 20-run target. Both will be given every chance to take part in the day/night second Test in Adelaide, with five days of turn around time between games.
