ENG vs AUS HIGHLIGHTS, 1st Test, Day 1: England are on top vs Australia after Day 1 of Edgbaston Test. Hosts are taking on Australia in the first Ashes Test set to be played at the Edgbaston, Birmingham from June 16 onwards. To note, the Three Lions are coming to the series after a thumping victory over Ireland at Lord’s. On the other hand, Australia bashed India in the final of WTC 2023 to be crowned as Test champions.
In the 2021/22 series, England wasn’t particularly strong when the sides met in Australia, but it’s safe to say that the hosts’ recent form makes the five games incredibly exciting.
