After being left out of the pink-ball Test in Brisbane, Lyon made a return in Adelaide with an instant impact. The off-spinner struck twice in his very first over on the second day, removing Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett to put England under early pressure. He changed the momentum in Australia’s way with quick wickets.
Lyon became Australia’s second-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket. Only Shane Warne, who finished his career with 708 wickets, remains ahead of him on the list.
Here's the video of McGrath's playful reaction:

Legendary Aussie wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist highlighted the significance of Lyon’s moment. He added that while the milestone took years to arrive, Lyon wasted no time once the opportunity presented itself.
“What a list of names there. We’ve been made to wait significantly longer than we’d all thought to have a shot at getting above McGrath, but it took no time at all when he had that chance,” he added.
England then ended the day in deep trouble at 213 for eight. With wickets tumbling and a deficit still to overcome, they face a tough challenge if they are to stay alive in the Ashes series.
