Nathan Lyon takes a blinder to send Moeen Ali back

Australia is currently dominating the ongoing second Ashes Test match in Adelaide as England have shown no intent to fight on the third day. The hosts are relentless in their attack as the quartet of bowlers are in no mood to give a sniff to their opposition. However, amidst all the action, Nathan Lyon flew to his left off his own bowling and took a blinder to send Moeen Ali back to the pavilion on 25 to change the game on its head.

The incident happened in the 49th over of the innings when Ali and Jonny Bairstow were looking resurrect the innings and had added 28 runs for the sixth wicket either side of the tea break. The first ball of the over was mistimed in the air as the left-hander looked to take the attack to the bowler. Ali was cautious after that and just to look work the second delivery which was flighted to the leg side.

But he could only chip it in the air which he caught sensationally by Lyon by jumping to his left on his follow through. He was air-borne all the way while diving in front of the non-striker and caught it to send the spectators into a frenzy. Ali was looking comfortable in the middle and even he was shocked after the game-changing blinder was taken.

Australia in complete command

After being denied by the rain last evening, the hosts came out fired up in the first session against the tentative England line-up on the third day. They bowled extremely well and scalped as many as four wickets to kill any hopes of their fight back in this match. Aussies already lead the series by 1-0 and would love to double it by winning the ongoing one. England, on the other hand, would want to come back into this game somehow and another loss would make it very difficult for them to retain the urn.
