Moeen Ali<\/a>'s return to Test cricket is going terribly with the veteran spinner lamenting expensive bowling, a 25 per cent reduction of his match fee and a deteriorating finger.<\/p>\n

Not only did Moeen register 2-147 from 33 overs in Australia's first innings at Edgbaston, the 36-year-old was fined for applying an unauthorised drying agent to his spinning finger.<\/p>\n

The wily off-spinner\ufeff, who was pulled from Test retirement following the injury blow to Jack Leach<\/a>, was spotted spraying a substance from an aerosol can on his bowling hand while fielding during the 89th over.<\/p>\n

Taking on such a heavy workload in his first Test since September 2021 proved a huge challenge with Moeen developing a blister on his spinning finger.<\/p>\n

Moeen used the spray on day two and learned of his fine after arriving at the Birmingham venue on day three.\ufeff<\/p>\n

His finger worsened to the point that he left the field late in Australia's innings, casting further doubt over how useful he will be when England bowls again.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"We've got to remember: Moeen is coming fresh off playing IPL cricket and not bowling a lot of overs per game, so it's a big ask to come in and bowl 30-odd overs \u2014 and that's just in the first innings," said former Australian spinner Steve O'Keefe on Nine's coverage.<\/p>\n

"So how he bounces back from that in the second innings is going to be vital for England."<\/p>\n

Former Australian limited-overs captain Aaron Finch forecast many more overs for Joe Root, a part-time off-spinner, over the remainder of the first Test.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"That has to hurt. To be able to get a grip on the ball would be really difficult and painful," Finch said.<\/p>\n

"Joe Root will have to bowl a lot of overs in the second innings, I think."\ufeff<\/p>\n
