Australia's dramatic two-wicket in the first Test at Edgbaston on Tuesday ensured a hugely-anticipated Ashes series got off to a thrilling start as skipper Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon's unbroken stand of 55 turned the tables on England. Below AFP Sport looks at three things we learned from a gripping encounter between the arch-rivals.
Captain Ben Stokes admits England are “absolutely devastated” after Australia secured victory by two wickets on day five of the Ashes to take a stunning Test match at Edgbaston. It had looked ominous for Australia, who were 227-8 and 54 runs away, but captain Pat Cummings and Nathan Lyon formed a formidable partnership to add an unbroken 55 as Australia reached their target of 281 to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Ad Reflecting on an incredible Test, Stokes told the BBC: «Unbelievable.
BIRMINGHAM, England: An inspired Stuart Broad revived England's hopes of winning an enthralling opening Ashes test with a superb late burst just when Australia appeared to have taken the upper hand on Monday.
England's Stuart Broad took two late wickets to pile pressure on Australia as the opening Ashes Test at Edgbaston headed for a dramatic finish. Australia were making steady progress at 78-1 in pursuit of a victory target of 281 when veteran paceman Broad removed both Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith -- the world's two top-ranked Test batsmen -- to leave the Ashes holders 89-3. At stumps on Monday, the World Test champions were 107-3, still needing a further 174 runs to win on Tuesday's final day.
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.
