- First Ashes Test: England 393-8 & 273; Australia 386 & 282-8
- Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon dig in to earn two-wicket win
Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon produced a heroic rearguard action with the bat to deny England’s late charge and win the first Ashes Test for Australia on a rain-hit final day at Edgbaston.
The final day’s play did not get under way until 2.15pm due to early rain and a wet outfield. When play began, Stuart Broad removed the nightwatchman, Scott Boland, and Moeen Ali defied a painful blister to conjure the wicket of Travis Head for 16.
