Moeen Ali is enjoying his return to Test cricket as he took two wickets in Australia’s first innings of the opening 2023 Test. He cleaned up Cameron Green in Edgbaston on Saturday. The track is offering a good amount of turn to spinners.
Green went for a cover drive on a flighted delivery but it turned sharply to hit the stumps.
Moeen also completed 750 wickets in his career. He was lauded by fans.
He’s back ????

For Australia, Usman Khawaja was the star of the day as he completed his 15th Test century to keep Australia in the game. Travis Head was also impressive with the bat. He accumulated 50 off 63 balls, laced with 8 fours and a six.
