In a shocking turn of events at the Oval in Brisbane, Australia's Cameron Green handed England a lifeline on day two of the second Ashes Test. The 29-year-old opener made what is being described as a "huge error" that gifted England a wicket and opened up the stumps for Brydon Carse to bowl him out.
Green, who was looking solid at the crease, became impatient and began to look for boundaries, allowing the English bowler to get into his head. As he attempted to drive a shot outside the off stump, Green's footwork was exposed, and Carse pounced on the opportunity, sending the ball hurtling down the leg side that hit the stumps.
The wicket has given England hope in this high-stakes Test match. With Australia sitting comfortably at 291-4, England will be looking to capitalize on any further mistakes from the hosts. As the game continues to unfold, fans are eagerly awaiting the next development in what is shaping up to be an epic Ashes battle.
The error that Green made has also raised questions about his decision-making under pressure. The Australian opener has been struggling with his footwork and temperament throughout this series, and if he can't stay focused, it could have serious consequences for his team's chances of winning the match.

This guy Cameron Green is like a ticking time bomb, you know? One minute he's looking solid, the next he's getting himself out for no reason at all 
. I'm telling you, someone's been feeding him fake information from behind the scenes, maybe it was the coach or his agent 
. He's always so impulsive and rash, it's like he doesn't care about the game at all. And now England's getting a sniff of hope? Yeah right, this is just a distraction tactic 
. I've got a bad feeling about this series... think we're gonna see some shady dealings going on here 
.
I was driving along the coast and saw these tiny seals playing on the rocks by the side of the road... so cute! Anyway, it made me think about how much stress can affect our focus, like what happened with Cameron Green. I mean, who hasn't been there right? 
You're trying to nail a difficult shot, but your brain is all over the place and you end up hitting a boundary instead of a drive... yeah, I've been there too! 
So maybe we can just take a deep breath and try to stay present like Brydon Carse out there... easy for me to say, I'm not exactly an expert on cricket 
I'm loving how Cameron Green's mistake opened up those stumps for Carse to get him out. But seriously, this is a huge wake-up call for the Aussie opener - he needs to stay calm and focused under pressure or it'll be tough for his team to compete with England's squad 
. Australia needs players who can stay level-headed, even when things aren't going their way.
, can't believe he was so aggressive at the crease, especially when they were still in a good position. i'm not sure if he's feeling the pressure too much, but it's clear he needs to work on his temperament if he wants to stay in the game 
. one thing's for sure, Australia can't afford to drop any more catches

. seriously though, who tries to hit a shot outside the off stump? that's like me trying to drive a car with my eyes closed 
. hope England can capitalize on this and turn the game around, but atm it looks like the Aussies are cruising like a sports bus 
. btw, has anyone seen Green's footwork coach? I think he needs a refresher course 
. Can't have players panicking under pressure, it's gotta be mental toughness 24/7 
. I mean, I get it, you're trying to score some runs, but not at the expense of your team's chances! 
It's all part of cricket I guess, but still, that mistake was huge! 
. And of course, it's the one thing that Carse can exploit - his footwork 
. Can he bounce back from this? Only time will tell 
, and I gotta say, that Aussie bloke Cameron Green just made a massive mistake! He was playing so well too, but then he got a bit greedy and lost his cool. Now England's in a good position to push them back 
. It's funny how one little slip-up can change the game like that... I remember when I was playing cricket at school, we always talked about the importance of staying calm under pressure 
.
I'm not saying Green made the right decision, but maybe he just needed a little reminder of how far he still has to go 
291-4 is a lot to chase, especially if he can't last long. England's gonna need all hands on deck to try & close this gap
