Another day, another injured bowler for England on their Ashes tour. To Steven Finn’s knee, Toby Roland-Jones’s back, Mark Wood’s heel and Ben Stokes’ ban (and hand), add Jake Ball’s sprained ankle. In the circumstances, England’s day was broadly encouraging. Ball’s ankle turned under him when delivering the fifth ball (from round the wicket) of his fourth over, which Joe Root finished. Having struggled in Perth, Woakes took the other.
