Edgbaston Weather, ENG vs AUS: England maintained their recent reputation and played with strong purpose throughout Day 1 of the first Ashes Test with Ben Stokes’ declaration on 393/8 serving as a show of strength. If Australia manage to strengthen their position with the bat on Day 2, this may easily go wrong and cost the hosts the game. The action will continue on Day 2, which promises to be equally entertaining. However, there is bad news for the spectators as play may be interrupted inevitably owing to the second day’s predicted rain. Check out the full weather forecast for Day 2 below.

It was odd that England, adhering to their strategy, declared their innings before crossing the 400-run mark. Given that Root was still unbeaten in the middle and was putting on an outstanding performance for his 30th Test century, this decision will undoubtedly generate a lot of discussion. At 172/5, England were in a grave predicament, but Root and Bairstow worked together to get them out of it. After tea, Bairstow unleashed his shots while taking measured chances. Lyon stood out as the star bowler with a four-wicket haul, turning up to be Australia’s lifeline. Even Hazlewood made a remarkable comeback.
