England paceman Ollie Robinson said he had been “in the heat of the moment” after appearing to verbally abuse Usman Khawaja in the first Test at Edgbaston on Sunday. 

Robinson bowled Khawaja for 141 after the Australian opener extended his overnight century on the third day. He seemed to have some choice words for Khawaja as the batsman returned to the pavilion. Robinson then helped clean up the tail as the Ashes-holders were bowled out for 386—just seven runs behind England’s first-innings 393-8 declared.
