What is Brumbrella? Innovative field setup England used to dismiss Usman Khawaja

Usman Khawaja became a thorn in the flesh for the Bazball-inspired England who made a bold declaration on Day 1 of the ongoing Edgbaston Test. England declared on 393/8 with Joe Root batting on 118 and while the hosts would have expected to wrap up the Australian innings in a quick time, opener Khawaja fought tooth and nail to keep the Aussies afloat.

The Australian got to his hundred in 198 balls and in complete contrast to the batting style of the local batters. His dogged innings eventually came to an end on 141 off 321 on Day 3 with England captain Ben Stokes opting for an ingenious field setup that unsettled the batter and led to his dismissal.

With Ollie Robinson bowling, Stokes placed six fielders in front of the batter to build pressure on Khawaja. All fielders were placed in close-catching positions, three on the offside and three on the leg as the field setup looked like an umbrella.

It took just two balls for the plan to work as Khawaja was cleaned up off a yorker from round the wicket trying to smash the ball over the close-catching fielders.
