England fast bowler Ollie Robinson switch to no-spin mode on Day 4 of seconds Ash Competing against Australia in Adelaide. In Australia’s 35 second innings, Robinson switched from fast bowling to spinning, circling the wicket to left-hander Travis Head.
With England without a front-line leader during the Pink Ball Test underway in Adelaide, they decided to enter with an all-out attack. Skier Joe Root flipped his arm in the first inning and got a header.
Robinson conceded just twice in his first attempt as a spinner and kept things pretty tight in subsequent passes. Before that, Robinson received the big batting bat from Steve Smith (6 years old) while bowling as a catcher. The Australian skipper to his feet was strangled in the leg and brilliantly captured by Jos Buttler, who missed a simple chance offered by the same hitter before.
England got off to a good start in Day 4 of the Adelaide Test, taking the lead. Before Robinson fired Smith, James Anderson and Stuart Broad sent night supervisors Michael Neser and Marcus Harris, respectively. While Neser (3) was cleared by a long delivery that severed the seam, Harris hit one and was spectacularly caught by a diving Buttler.

Meanwhile, England captain Joe Root is back on the pitch after missing his first game of the day through injury. Root was hit in the stomach while having throws during the warm-up before the start of the match.
He underwent a scan after which he was allowed to compete. Root hit the field after 18 bowling passes on Day 4 of the Pink Ball Test. It’s unclear if Root was able to pass his spin, perhaps why Robinson sent a few overspins.
Root was dropped for 62 on Day 3 of the Test. In the knockout round, he became the fourth player in history to score 1600 Test Runs in a calendar year.
