Australia triumphed over England in a thrilling first test of the Ashes series, as Pat Cummins played a captain’s innings to secure a two-wicket win for the visitors. The match got off to an electrifying start with England’s Bazball cricket taking on Australia’s more traditional approach. Chasing 281 runs on the final day of the match, Australia’s Usman Khawaja hit a patient 65, while Cummins finished the job with an unbeaten 44 containing two sixes and four fours, securing a stunning victory. The match enhanced the reputation of test cricket as a thrilling spectacle, as both teams played to their strengths in this battle for supremacy. Australian fans chanted Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi in jubilation at the victory, which sets up the rest of the series nicely. England must win the five-match series to take back the urn from Australia, and this loss will be particularly hard-felt, given that they narrowly missed out to Australia at Edgbaston back in 2005.
