ENG vs AUS, 1st Ashes Test, Day 3: Australia Captain Pat Cummins Rocks England

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.

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.
