BIRMINGHAM, England :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.
Australia captain Pat Cummins starred with both bat and ball as the Ashes-holders had the better of a rain-marred third day in the first Test against England in Birmingham on Sunday. The lower-order batsman made a useful 38 in a total of 386 that left Australia just seven runs behind on first innings. And the fast bowler then dismissed Ben Duckett before England also lost their other opener, Zak Crawley, in a dramatic 20-minutes' play between the showers. England were 28-2 in their second innings, a lead of just 35 runs, at stumps after a huge downpour at 1450 GMT had sent the players from the field.

Australian all-rounder Cameron Green completed 1,000 runs in Test cricket on Saturday. Green accomplished this landmark during his side's first Ashes Test against England at Birmingham. In Australia's first innings, Green played a knock of 38 runs in 68 balls, which consisted of four boundaries and a six. He was clean-bowled by Moeen Ali. Ever since his Test debut in 2020, Green has played 22 Tests and has scored 1,010 runs in 31 innings at an average of 36.07. He has scored one century and six half-centuries. His best score is 114. He also has 26 wickets in the format, with the best figures of 5/27.
Mooen Ali produced a brilliant delivery to dismiss Cameron Green on Day 2 of the first Ashes Test encounter between England and Australia in Edgbaston on Saturday. Green was looking in dangerous form and it took a special delivery from the veteran spinner to send him packing for 38. The ball pitched quite a bit outside leg stump but turned back inside to complete beat Green's defenses and ultimately crash into his stumps. The batter was left completely surprised by the turn as the stadium erupted in cheer. Even former India spinner Harbhajan Singh took to Twitter to praise the unplayable delivery.
Australia batter Steve Smith's funny leave on the bowling of Stuart Broad has sparked meme fest on Twitter. Broad was breathing fire in the first session of the ongoing first Ashes Test on Saturday. England didn't have a good start on Day 2 but Broad later dismissed set batter David Warner and newcomer Marnus Labuchagne on consecutive deliveries to put his side on top. Steve Smith came in at number 4 and got the tough task to steady the Australian ship. However, before that he had to stop Broad from taking a hat-trick.
Former England captain Kevin Pietersen and Nasser Hussain had a heated discussion over current Three Lions skipper Ben Stokes' decision to declare the first innings at 393/8 in the opening Ashes Test against Australia. Stokes called it a hault on day 1 when Joe Root was batting well at 121*. While Pietersen said that he did not like it as the wicket seemed flat, Hussain backed the decision made by Stokes, saying that he wanted to see Stuart Broad bowl against David Warner on Day 1.
