प्लेयर ऑफ द मैचउस्मान ख्वाजा
Right then, what an epic battle we have witnessed and this is just the start. We still have four more Test matches to go in this monumental series between two powerhouses. Australia have taken a 1-0 lead in the series but we expect England to come back stronger at Lord's which will be the next venue. The game begins in a week's time on Wednesday the 28th of June at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT) but our coverage will begin well in advance. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Pat Cummins, the skipper of Australia, starts by saying that their supporters got outnumbered but thanks them for sticking around. Adds that there were no demons on this surface on the final day and regarding Lyon's boundary over mid on, Cummins smiles and says that he just stood there in awe and said 'nice shot Gary'. Mentions that the beauty of this series is that both teams have different strengths and they stick to it. Praises Khawaja for his composure and calls him a class player. He is really happy for Usman. States that everyone chipped in and played a role while being happy that he could contribute with the bat. Informs that Lyon has been huge for them with the ball and he is just a captain's dream.
Ben Stokes, the captain of England says that he is very proud of the team to take this game into Day 5, and it was wonderful to see the way they handled the rollercoaster of emotions. Claims that this is what they want to do as they hope to keep the people involved and on the edge of their seats. Reckons that a loss is a loss in terms of how they operate. Adds that losing always hurts regardless and they want to keep making the moves when the time is right. Mentions that when they come on the positive side of the result there will not be much to complain about. Explains that he decided to declare because he saw an opportunity to pounce on Australia by taking early wickets and going into Day 2 on top. Informs that it was great to have Moeen Ali even though he had to leave the field but Joe Root did a remarkable job. Goes on to say that he is not only a world-class batter but is growing as a bowler as well. Feels that is incredible to see a senior batter play the way he did on Day 4. Admits that the way he played in the first half hour got the momentum on their side and there is always pressure chasing down the target but gives credit to Australia. Ends by saying that Ollie Robinson and Stuart Broad put in all their effort and that is all you can ask for. He adds that Stuart Broad has his head in his heart and long may it continue.
Player of the Match is Usman Khawaja! Says that he was very nervous in the final five minutes and counts this as one of his favourite Tests to be a part of! Shares that there was too much nervous energy in the dressing room and he was watching the match on a delay. Adds that this knock of his is right up there and tells that the ebb and flow of this Test match was excellent with no one having it until the end. Reminds that the last series was tough work for the Aussie batters, barring Smith and he is delighted to win the first Test match.
Presentation time...
David Warner and Usman Khawaja started wonderfully well though and added 61 runs together but a late surge on Day 4 allowed England to claim three crucial wickets as Ollie Robinson dismissed David Warner and Stuart Broad sent Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith packing. The delayed start on Day 5 had everyone sweating and one session was lost to rain. Usman Khawaja and Scott Boland were watchful to begin before Stuart Broad was able to send the night watchman back to the shed. Moeen Ali claimed the crucial wicket of Travis Head before Tea and had England believing there were ahead in this game. Australia proved them wrong in the final session to stamp their authority ahead of a long tour.
England started Day 4 intending to make sure that they get a result in this game as they looked to be aggressive from the word go led by Joe Root. He scored 46 alone with Harry Brook as both missed out on half-centuries by 4 runs and Ben Stokes added 43 runs to score as well. They kept losing wickets in regular intervals though and were bowled out by Tea for 273 runs setting a target of 281. The Australian bowlers did a remarkable job with Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon claiming four wickets each with Josh Hazlewood and Scott Boland chipping in with one apiece. The hosts would have liked to have a few more runs on the board but came out looking to get some early breakthroughs with the ball.
The Australian openers managed to survive the four overs on Day 1 but did not get off to the best starts on Day 2 as they lost David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne on consecutive deliveries. Things got worse for them when Steven Smith was dismissed for a low score before Lunch and the declaration seemed to be working for the hosts. Usman Khawaja proved the be the thorn in their side though as he held up one end and built good partnerships with Travis Head, Cameron Green, and Alex Carey. Head and Carey scored attacking half-centuries with Khawaja top-scoring for his side with 141 runs. An attacking cameo from Pat Cummins helped push their total to 386, 7 runs short of England’s total. Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson both claimed three wickets each with Moeen Ali chipping in with two. He seemed to have injured his finger while bowling which seemed to hinder his bowling performance. The England openers came out looking positive in the second session of Day 3 but rain interruptions seemed to hamper their concentration and both were dismissed in overcast conditions before play was called off for the day.
The hosts won a good toss and elected to bat first with Zak Crawley smashing the first ball to the fence for four. The tone had been set for how the hosts were planning to approach their batting effort but suffered an early setback as Ben Duckett was dismissed after playing a couple of good shots. Ollie Pope got off to a decent start but could not make it count and was dismissed along with Crawley who scored 61 runs in 73 balls before Lunch. Joe Root batted beautifully from one end with Harry Brook (32 runs in 37 balls) and Jonny Bairstow (78 runs in 78 deliveries) playing attacking knocks to help keep the run rate up. They scored 393 for the loss of 8 wickets in 78 overs and with four overs left to play on Day 1, Ben Stokes pulled off a surprise by declaring their inning. Joe Root remained unbeaten on 118 and put up an exhibition of his world-class abilities. Nathan Lyon was the pick of the bowlers for Australia with four wickets under his belt and the rest of the bowlers chipped in as well barring the skipper Pat Cummins who remained wicketless.
England found an opening and had their tails up as they built pressure on Alex Carey with some disciplined bowling. The English bowlers were unable to get a breakthrough though and the skipper decided to bring himself into the attack. The decision bore fruit immediately as he managed to finally end Khawaja’s stubborn stand on 65 in 197 balls. Carey and Pat Cummins hung around till the new ball was available but Ben Stokes pulled off another masterstroke by not taking the brand-new cherry and giving a over to Joe Root. He rewarded his captain's faith by dismissing Carey as he took a blinder off his own bowling. Cummins took it upon himself to get the remaining runs as he took 14 runs from Root’s over and kept up with his attacking intent. He had Nathan Lyon with him and the spinner looked really comfortable out in the middle as the two of them added 55 runs to take their side home with the skipper scoring 44 runs having come to bat with 72 runs still needed.
SESSION SUMMARY - 99 runs, 33.3 overs, 3 wickets. A lot depended on Usman Khawaja to help Australia take the game deep after they found half their team back in the shed at the Tea interval with 98 runs needed in the final session. He fought hard to keep the scoreboard ticking while holding up one end and had Cameron Green for company who came out after the break looking to be much more positive. Green added 49 runs with Khawaja for the sixth wicket but chopped one onto his stumps off the bowling on Ollie Robinson on 28.
AUSTRALIA WIN THE FIRST ASHES TEST MATCH BY 2 WICKETS! What an extraordinary game this has been! The pendulum kept constantly swinging both ways and provided us with non-stop entertainment despite the rain interruptions. The reigning Test champions have started their title defense in this World Test Championship cycle with a win against their arch-rivals away from home and have set this series up beautifully. They continue their outstanding form and have shown why they are the best Test team in the world and it is ironic that their captain was the one who took them over the finish line. England fought remarkably hard and one has to now wonder in circumspect if the decision to declare in the first inning was the right one. That said, they have contributed heavily towards providing us with a remarkable spectacle!

FOUR! AUSTRALIA WIN! Pat Cummins is pumped up, he lifts Lyon in delight. What an end to this Test match! The 8th wicket partnership has done it for the tourists. Back of a length, around off, Cummins pushes inside the line with soft hands and edges it down towards third man. Harry Brook speeds across to his right from straightish third man and Zak Crawley chases it to his left from deep point. Brook reaches first with a slide but he ends up deflecting it over the fence. Australia win by 2 wickets and have excelled in their first assignment against England's 'Bazball'!

DRINKS! What a cracking contest we are privileged to witness here! This game is going right down to the wire with England needing two wickets to clinch a remarkable win and Australia 51 runs away from grabbing victory out of the jaws of defeat. We also need to keep in mind that there is just an hour left to play with a maximum of 15 overs that can be bowled. With all three results possible we need to fasten our seat belts and sit tight for a nail-biting finish.

जो रूट To एलेक्स कैरी OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Root had put two down but he has redeemed himself. The crowd goes Rooooooooooooooooooooooootttttttt! What a champion cricketer!!! The decision to not take the second new ball immediately has worked. Australia are still 54 runs away but now they have only two wickets left. Coming to the delivery, it's tossed up around off, Alex Carey wears his skates to hammer it over and behind the bowler but fails to connect properly. It hurries back to Root who sticks both his hands together and this time grabs a sharp reflex catch. Root gets up and starts to run in joy. Carey is distraught, he has given England a massive opening.

OUT! CHOPPED ON! Would you believe it! The skipper has done it for England! He has gone through the stubborn defense of Usman Khawaja and brought his side to the brink of an outstanding win! This is bowled on a good length and outside the off stump, seems to be a leg-cutter. Usman Khawaja gets stuck in the crease and pokes at the ball. Gets an inside edge straight onto the stumps and the English players run towards their captain. The crowd is going absolutely berserk as Australia are now seven wickets down and still need 72 runs to win. What a cracking contest this is turning out to be.

ओलिवर रॉबिन्सन To कैमरन ग्रीन OUT!
OUT! CHOPPED ON! Indecision from Cameron Green and Ollie Robinson gets his second wicket of this innings. Robinson bowls this one on a good length around off and just looks to angle it back in. Green is a bit late to get onto the back foot as he is unsure whether to drive or cut and when he does opt to cut, it is simply too late. The ball takes the inside edge and goes back on to hit the stumps. 89 runs needed with 4 wickets remaining!

We are back for the final session of the first Ashes Test match as the umpires make their way out to the middle. Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green will be eager to build on their partnership. The England players take their respective fielding positions and Ollie Robinson will begin proceedings with the ball. Let's go...
... DAY 5, SESSION 3 ...
Right then, 98 runs to get for Australia in about 38 overs and England need 5 wickets to get that crucial first win in the Ashes Test series. It is tense and it is tight and the crowd is right in it as well. It will all boil down to which side handles pressure better. Join us at 9.20 pm IST (3.50 pm GMT) as the final session of this sensational Test match unfolds.
England will feel they are right in this game and a wicket or two after the break can change things dramatically. Stuart Broad has been sensational throughout this match and he got the first wicket on Day 5 as well. Broad and Ollie Robinson bowled attacking lines and didn't allow the opposition batters to score freely. Moeen Ali though then came on and got smashed for a couple of boundaries but did get the big wicket of Travis Head making it a more than useful trade for those two boundaries. James Anderson hasn't fired in this game and England need him to use all of his experience and get that breakthrough they so desperately want.
End of yet another riveting session of Test cricket and there is still hardly anything to separate the two sides. Australia came into Day 5 being 107/3 and needed 174 runs to win. Nightwatchman Scott Boland put up a more than decent resistance and added 20 vital runs before getting out. However once he fell, the pair of Travis Head and Usman Khawaja struggled to muster up runs and just when Head started to fire, he fell to Moeen Ali allowing England to pile on the pressure. Khawaja though has remained resolute scoring another half-century and Cameron Green has looked solid as well. The Aussies will want this pair to carry on for as long as possible.

मोईन अली To ट्रैविस हेड OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! An expensive over from Moeen Ali but he gets his reward at the end of it and he looks absolutely thrilled! England have a massive wicket here as Travis Head has to make the long walk back and they would have known that he could have taken the game away from them in a short time. Moeen Ali bowls this slightly short and in line with the stumps. Travis Head goes onto the back foot and looks to block but the ball turns and gets his outside edge. Joe Root takes a sharp catch at slip and Australia have now lost half their side. England will feel they are on top now and the crowd definitely agrees!

FOUR! Travis Head gets enough on this to take it away to the fence! This is banged in short and going down leg side. Travis Head goes for the pull and gets it off the back side of his bat towards fine leg for four runs. The first boundary of the day and it has come after more than an hour of play!
DRINKS! Australia have started in a circumspect manner with Khwaja looking to hold up one end without much intent to score runs. Scott Boland added a few runs to his overnight score and played through a difficult period to frustrate the England bowlers. Stuart Broad finally managed to send the night watchman back to the shed with Jonny Bairstow taking his fourth catch of the inning. Travis Head has played an unorthodox inning so far by his standards as Australia look to creep towards the target. The English pacers have been quite disciplined so far and will be eager to get a breakthrough at the earliest.

We are finally set to get some action on Day 5 as the umpires make their way out to the middle. The English players receive a warm reception as they get onto the field and take their respective fielding positions. Usman Khawaja and Scott Boland stride out to the center to resume their partnership. James Anderson has the ball in his hand and will begin proceedings. Let's play...
... DAY 5, SESSION 2 ...
UPDATE - 6.20 pm IST (12.50 pm GMT) - So the news is that we will have a maximum of 67 overs that can be bowled with Stumps scheduled for 11.30 pm IST (6 pm GMT) but as we have seen so far, we do not expect all of them to be bowled today. Tea will be taken at 9 pm IST (3.30 pm GMT) for 20 minutes and this afternoon session will most likely decide which way the game is headed. Do join us shorty for the first ball to be bowled on Day 5.
UPDATE - 6 pm IST (12.30 pm GMT) - There seems to be a few damp patches around the ground due to the rain pounding away through the night. The ground staff and the Super Soppers are working on these areas to get them dried out. Both sets of players are on the field though doing their warm-up drills and that is the best sign we can get that action is not too far away. The sun has made an appearance too and is peeping out through the clouds. Stay tuned to find out when the game will get underway. And just as we say that we have an official announcement that the game will begin at 6.45 pm IST (1.15 pm GMT) so get everything wrapped up in 45 minutes and join us for the action.
UPDATE - 5.31 pm IST (12.01 pm GMT) - So early Lunch has been taken and there will be an inspection at 5.50 pm IST (12.20 pm GMT) as we look forward to some positive updates. It has been informed that Lunch was officially taken at 5 pm IST (11.30 am GMT) so we will be into the second session when the inspection takes place. We shall bring more updates to you soon.
UPDATE - 5.05 pm IST (11.35 am GMT) - Well finally the covers are coming off and it seems like the ground staff have done a good job here to get things moving! It is still overcast and with the conditions this cloudy, the English bowlers will be itching to get the ball in their hands and have a go at the Australian batters. The umpires will have a look and we should be getting an update on the start time shorty. Stay tuned...
UPDATE - 4.55 pm IST (11.25 am GMT) - Some good news folks! The umpires are out on the field having a look at the conditions and there seems to be no rain falling currently as they do not have their umbrellas open. All the covers are still on and there is water collected on it so the ground staff will have their work cut out trying to soak it all up. The Super Soppers are hard at work and with the forecast predicting that there will be no rain in the afternoon, we could be getting some action really soon. We have our fingers crossed!
UPDATE - 4.45 pm IST (11.15 am GMT) - The conditions have improved slightly as the intensity of the rain has reduced a touch. The ground staff is busy sweeping the water off the covers. Hopefully, their hard work pays off and we get to see some action soon. Although, an early LUNCH break seems to be inevitable now. We will bring your further updates shortly.
UPDATE - 4.12 pm IST (10.42 am GMT) - Well, unfortunately, the waiting game continues as the rain gods aren't showing any mercy. It is pouring down heavily. Time to grab a cup of coffee. Stick around for more updates.
UPDATE - 3.21 pm IST (9.51 am GMT) - It should have been the players having a go in the middle of the park, but not yet, as the rain gods have decided to hang around for a bit longer and hence only the covers are enjoying some time out on the field at the moment. Lunch will be taken at 5 pm IST (11.30 am GMT) and it looks unlikely that the game will start before that. As mentioned earlier, the forecast for the afternoon is much more promising. Fingers crossed!
UPDATE - 2.50 pm IST (9.20 am GMT) - It was predicted right from the start that the rain gods would make their appearance on the final day and they have not disappointed. It has been pouring heavily through the night at Edgbaston and the intensity of the rain has not reduced yet. We are most likely headed for a delayed start but the good news is that the forecast for the afternoon indicates that there will be some sun shining through and we could get enough time to get a result out of this game. Stay tuned for further updates.
England looked to apply their Bazball approach from the word go and accumulate runs quickly at the start of Day 4 in the quest for a result. Two 50-run partnerships scored at better than a run a ball helped push their lead beyond the 150-run mark by Lunch with Joe Root and Harry Brook both scoring 46. Ben Stokes made 43 as well but the tail could not contribute as well as they would have liked and were bundled out for 273. They were unable to get the breakthrough early with the ball and just when the game seemed to be slipping out of their grasp, Ollie Robinson broke the opening partnership to give his side a glimmer of hope. It was Stuart Broad who came to the party after that as he dismissed the number 1 and number 2 Test batters in quick time to shift the pendulum in the favor of the hosts. Which team will come out on top on the final day? Stay tuned to find out as we shall be with you shortly for the first ball of Day 5.
Australia got a lucky break when they dismissed the two England openers in overcast conditions on Day 3 but will be really proud of their efforts with the ball on Day 4 as they managed to bowl out their opponents in two sessions. Pat Cummins led the way with a four-wicket haul and Nathan Lyon once again proved why he is becoming a Test legend for Australia as he took a four-fer as well in pace-friendly conditions. Josh Hazlewood and Scott Boland chipped in with one wicket each as they set themselves a target of 281 runs. The openers started well with a 61-run partnership and this game looked to be headed towards an Aussie win but the wickets of David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, and Steven Smith have pegged them back sightly. Usman Khawaja is still unbeaten on 34 with the night watchman Scott Boland for company and they will look to negotiate a difficult period in the morning to set up a win.
Hello, and a warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen to our coverage of the fifth and final day in this first Ashes Test. Day 4 proved to be the moving day after Day 3 was affected heavily by rains and the game has reached an interesting juncture. The game is nicely poised with Australia needing 174 runs to win while on the other hand, England are 7 wickets away from clinching a massive victory against the Test Champions. We expected this Ashes to have us on the edge of our seats and the first game has not disappointed as we expect some more entertaining cricket to come our way. Fasten your seat belts as this match could go right down to the wire and we could have a thriller just like the 2005 Ashes Test match in Edgbaston.
... DAY 5, SESSION 1 ...
What an epic battle we are witnessing here between two cricketing rivals and there is still more excitement to come our way. Australia will know that one substantial partnership will get them close to the target while England have their tails up with three late wickets. The action continues on Tuesday 20th June for the final day of the first Ashes Test match and the first ball will be bowled at 3.30 pm IST (10.00 am GMT) but do join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
The first two sessions belonged to Australia as they ran through the English batting line-up and claimed 8 wickets to set themselves an achievable target. England were off to a positive start with Joe Root playing some wonderful shots to get the scoreboard ticking. He added 50 runs with Ollie Pope in quick time and then stitched together a 52-run partnership with Harry Brook in 49 deliveries to build on the lead. Pope was dismissed by Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon managed to dismiss Root and Brook with both falling four runs short of their half-century before the Lunch interval. Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes looked to settle in the crease before going on the onslaught but Stokes was dismissed by his counterpart and Bairstow fell to Lyon soon after. Josh Hazlewood picked up his first wicket of the inning by dismissing Moeen Ali before both Cummins and Lyon reached their four-fer by cleaning up the tail.
SESSION SUMMARY - 107 runs, 30 overs, 3 wickets. This tie has completely opened up in the last hour or so and the match hangs gingerly poised with both teams hopeful of their chances going into Day 5. Australia tried to be positive right through this inning as they looked to hunt down this target of 281 runs but may have played a few more deliveries than they would have liked. They came out after Tea to start their second inning with both the openers looking to accumulate the runs and not be bogged down. They forged a 61-run partnership in 109 deliveries and looked to be cruising then. David Warner, unfortunately, played at a ball that was moving away from him off the bowling of Ollie Robinson and nicked one through to Jonny Bairstow. Marnus Labuschagne played a few confident-looking shots but edged a beauty from Stuart Broad to the keeper. Things got better for England when Broad got the big wicket of Steven Smith and Bairstow claimed his third catch of the inning. Usman Khawaja has held one end though and he is unbeaten on 34 runs as he looks to play another important knock to bail his side out of trouble. Scott Boland came out as a nightwatchman and has managed to survive through to Stumps adding 13 runs to the total as well. The equation is now simple for Day 5. Australia need 174 runs for victory and England need to take 7 wickets to win this first Ashes Test match.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Edged and taken by Jonny Bairstow! Stuart Broad gets the massive wicket of Steven Smith and he is the man of the moment for England having sent Australia's two best batters back to the shed. He angles this into the stumps from outside off on a fullish length and gets the ball to move away after pitching. Smith is induced into the drive and gets a faint edge through to Bairstow behind the stumps who takes another easy catch. England are on a roll and Australia have lost three quick wickets to see the pendullum shift in favor of the hosts.
