Ashes 2015: Mitchell Johnson picks up his 300th Test match wicket at Edgbaston
Monday 3 August 2015 18:37, UK
See how Mitchell Johnson claimed his 300th Test match scalp with a vicious bouncer to dismiss Jonny Bairstow at Edgbaston.
The Aussie left-armer has gone from a figure of fun to become the scourge of England in the past two Ashes series and he picked up a milestone wicket on day two of the third Test.
With England well placed having bowled Australia out for 136 on day one and moved past their total for the loss just three wickets by the time Johnson bowled the second over of the second day, the tourists needed someone to step up and help them claw their way back into the match.
Johnson proved to be that man with two wickets in three balls, the first of which saw him reach 300 Test wickets just a day after going past 2,000 Test match runs. His sharp, rising bouncer reached Bairstow around throat height and it was all the England batsman could do to glove it to Peter Nevill behind the stumps.
