Warne spins England out of control

SHANE WARNE chose his farewell Test in England to deliver another telling display and leave the English struggling to reach an imposing total at The Oval in the deciding Ashes Test.

Due to celebrate his 36th birthday on Tuesday, he may not possess the same variety of delivery that he did when he first toured in England back in 1993, but Warne chose the opening day of the crucial final Test to demonstrate he still has enough guile to deliver when it matters.

Warne’s five for 118 helped restrict England to 319 for seven, a modest score on a batsman-friendly wicket.
