July 11, 2013 21:33

Australia first dug themselves into a hole and then had one man - a debutant - aggressively dig them out with the sheer power of resilient batting.

19-year-old spinner Ashton Agar made a mark and gained an entry into the record books with his 98 - batting at No. 11 - to help his side take a firm grip of Day 2 of the opening Ashes Test against England.
