BIRMINGHAM, England : England extended their lead beyond 150 on the fourth morning of the opening Ashes test against Australia as Ben Stokes' risk-taking side again dictated a fast and furious tempo at a sunny Edgbaston on Monday.
Former England skipper Eoin Morgan has praised Australian batter Alex Carey who scored a crucial 52 (80)* in the first innings on the second day for the Ashes on Saturday. Usman Khawaja (126*) and Alex Carey's (52*) partnership led the charge with the bat as Australia managed to bounce back in the final session of Day 2 of the first Test match of the Ashes 2023 series on Saturday. Australia trailed by 82 runs, scoring 311/5. "I think it has been Australia's day. I would rather be sat in Australia's changing room right now and the difference for me has been Carey. You always expect an Australian to grind out some runs on this wicket. That impetus late on in the day and leading momentum into when the new ball came in from Khawaja and Carey was outstanding," Morgan told Sky Sports.
A wicketless James Anderson despite bowling 17 overs in a Test innings is a rarity. The rare event however happened during Australia's first innings against England in the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Usman Khawaja and Alex Carey were solid in the crease with the former unbeaten after century and the latter not out post a quickfire fifty. To add to Australia's dominance, Carey hit two consecutive fours to Anderson on the pacer's 18th over. It's needless to mention that something special was needed to bring England back in the game and a vintage Andeson came to the side's rescue.
England saw the back of Usman Khawaja with an unconventional field set-up on Day 3 of the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Khawaja's painstaking century had effectively turned the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston into a one-innings shoot-out on Sunday before Ollie Robinson cleaned him up with a yorker delivery to bring England back in the game. As many as six fielders were brought really close to the southpaw, hardly leaving any gap for him to score in front of the wicket.
Australia's bowlers struck twice in quick succession in a devastating spell against England at Edgbaston on Sunday, before heavy rain washed out the later sessions on the third day of the series-opening Ashes test.
