Joe Root ended his Ashes century-drought as England made 393-8 before skipper Ben Stokes's bold declaration on the opening day of the first Test against Australia at Edgbaston on Friday.

But former England captain Root was 118 not out -- the 32-year-old's first Ashes hundred in eight years and 17 Tests -- when Stokes called a halt to give his side 20 minutes in the field against Australia before stumps.

BIRMINGHAM, England :A superb century from Joe Root, his first against Australia since 2015, helped England race to 393-8 before declaring on the opening day of the first Ashes test, a move that did not bear fruit as the tourists held firm to finish on 14-0 at stumps.
England declared on 398-8 and left Australia 14 without loss after a promising start to the Ashes in Edgbaston. Former captain Joe Root was the star of the home side’s innings as he arrived with England at 176-5 and in trouble, to bat through until current skipper Ben Stokes’ declaration — the earliest in the series’ history. Ad Root hit a century of 121 alongside Jonny Bairstow, who plundered his total at a run a ball, and there were useful efforts from the recalled, Moeen Ali, Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson.
