Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has expressed his dissatisfaction with England’s decision to declare their innings for 393/8 on the first day of the Ashes Test against Australia at Edgbaston. Pietersen, who was speaking on Sky Sports, remarked that he wouldn’t have declared as centurion Joe Root was still batting, and that England should have looked to score past the 400-run mark to gain a psychological advantage. He cited India’s 2022 test match against England, where India lost despite scoring 416 runs, as an example. While England’s decision to declare was debatable, their batsmen put on a brilliant display on the first day of the Edgbaston Test. It now rests on their bowlers to ensure that Australia doesn’t take an early lead.
