Ashes series can turn on moments like these. Three balls into Usman Khawaja’s second innings at Edgbaston, James Anderson angled a ball into him from around the wicket which squared him up and took his outside edge – only for it to trickle harmlessly down to the boundary between wicketkeeper and first slip.
