In a mesmerizing display of skill and determination, Stuart Broad once again showcased his prowess as a world-class bowler by dismissing David Warner for the 17th time in Test cricket. The momentous occasion occurred during the third Ashes 2023 Test at Headingley, 🔯marking the second instance in the same match that Broad dismissed the Australian opener. The left-hand🤪ed batter managed to score a mere five runs across both innings.
The Day 2 of the third Test witnessed a deja vu moment as Broad once again sent Warner packing just like the opening day. The English bowled a beautiful delivery to trap Warner, leaving the Aussie batter helpless with only one run to his name. The dismissal contributed to an uncanny feat by Warne🐭r as it marked his 17th failure against Broad in 51 Test innings.
It all happened on the second ball of the third over when Broad delivered a ripper of an angled-in delivery to Warner, and the Aussie opener edged it in pursuit of defence. Soon after finding a thick outside edge of Warner’s bat, the red leather went straight towards Zak Crawley, ཧwho made no mistake and executed a flawless catch at the second slip.
Broad was pumped up after the dismissal and was seen running in excitement and roaring to ♑celebrate the wicket. Meanwhile, Warner shook his head with a wry smile as he walked back to the pavilion.

Speaking of the match, England couldn’t carry the momentum from Day 1 and were bowled out for 238 runs by Australia courtesy of a sensation six-fer from Pat Cummins. It was English skipper Ben Stokes‘ gritty knock of 80 runs off 108 balls that provided England with a fighting chance in the match and made sure that the hosts didn’t finish too far behind Australia’s first-innings score of 263.
