Skipper Pat Cummins’ unbeaten 44 helped drive Australia to a remarkable two-wicket win at the end of a tense final day of the first Ashes Test.
Infected by the spirit of Bazball, Pat Cummins bludgeoned Australia to a remarkable first Test victory at the end of a tense final day at Edgbaston on Tuesday.
Tuesday was Australia’s highest successful run chase in England for 75 years, surpassing the 242 Ian Chappell’s side overhauled in 1972. On that occasion, Paul Sheahan and Rod Marsh saw Australia home with an unbeaten 71-run stand for the sixth wicket. This time England’s new batting sensation Harry Brook fumbled in an attempt to flick the ball to Zak Crawley as he slid around the third man boundary, only for it to roll into the advertising covers on the rope.
It also helped to move the game on and made a result more likely when almost a day’s play was lost through rain across Sunday and Tuesday. Move the game on again they did in the second innings but, in typical Bazball fashion, 10 players made double figures and four were dismissed in their 40s while no one reached a half-century, leaving the door open for Australia.Moeen Ali was not himself on his recall to Test cricket.
