'Emotional' Khawaja savours maiden Test ton in England

Amid the taunts from the Edgbaston crowd, an 'emotional' Usman Khawaja fired his maiden Test century in England to lead Australia fightback on the second day of the first Ashes Test. Reeling at 67 for 3, Khawaja (126 not out) led a terrific recovery as the 36-year-old smashed an epic ton, taking his side to 311 for 5 at the close of play. After Stuart Broad struck twice in two balls to remove David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne, Khawaja stitched crucial partnerships with the middle-order batters to frustrate England.
