The Ashes 1st Test Day 1 Highlights: AUS 14/0 at Stumps after ENG ...
Jun 16, 2023 11:24 PM IST
The Ashes 1st Test Day 1 Highlights: A superb century from Joe Root, his first against Australia since 2015, helped England race to 393-8 before declaring on the opening day of the first Ashes test, a move that did not bear fruit as the tourists held firm to finish on 14-0 at stumps. In a move typical of the unconventional, attacking approach adopted by skipper Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, England gave themselves four overs to bowl at Australia on Friday, without any success. After an aggressive England enjoyed a positive start with the bat in Birmingham, the key wickets of Stokes and firebrand Harry Brook left the home side on 176-5 and staring at the possibility of being skittled out quickly.

The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: STUMPS! Australia 14/0 in 4 overs
Australia's openers survive Day 1. It is a day that belongs to Joe Root though, as is evidenced by the fact that his England teammates wait for him to lead them off the field. His rich vein of form continues and he has made a statement start to the Ashes. Wonder what his batting genius former captain department counterpart in the Australia dressing room will have to say tomorrow whenever he walks out. Steve Smith will bat tomorrow that is for sure, if he doesn't then that means that England have had a very, very bad day. That seems unlikely for now.

The Ashes 2023 Live score: Robinson falls over!
Robinson goes round the wicket for the last ball of the over and falls over just as he reaches his release point. He seems to be ok, it was a nasty fall with his back foot sliding across. Goes back to his mark and bowls the last ball. Australia 9/0 in 2 overs.
Jun 16, 2023 10:46 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: FOUR! Warner ends the first over with a boundary
Broad goes full outside off for the last ball of the over, Warner leans into the drive and sends the ball to the boundary. Interestiungly, it is Ollie Robinson sharing the new ball with Broad and not James Anderson. Wonder when was the last time Anderson did not take the new ball in England.
Jun 16, 2023 10:41 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: The players are back!
Right then here is Stuart Broad and David Warner, who had a horrid time against him the last time Australia toured England, is facing him. Usman Khawaja at the other end for Australia.
Jun 16, 2023 10:33 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: England declare on 393/8!
That over from Lyon went for 20 runs and Stoke has seen enough. He waves them in and in true Bazball fashion, England declare 7 runs short of 400 when they could have scored over 450 with the way Root was starting to bat. They have a few juicy overs to bowl at the Australian openers now.
Jun 16, 2023 10:31 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 Live score: SIX! Root smashing the daylights off Lyon

He is just the second England player after his former captain Alastair Cook to score 30 Test centuries.It is also his first century against Australia since 2015, just his fourth against the Ashes rivals. He tucks it behind square off Lyon and then shouts a big "Yes!" to run to the other end and raises his bat and helmet.
Jun 16, 2023 10:20 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: Root moves to 99

Jun 16, 2023 10:02 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: GONE! Broad goes!
Cameron Green, bowling just his fourth over of the day, gets Broad. Length delivery, Broad misses completely and it's top of off time for the Nighthawk.
Broad b Green 16 (21), England 350/8 in 70.4 overs
Jun 16, 2023 09:56 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: FOUR!
Broad clobbers Lyon over wide mid-on to the boundary. Not a very conventional shot but that is the way of the Nighthawk. He moves to 14 off 16.
Jun 16, 2023 09:48 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: England 339/7 in 68 overs
Broad on eight off 10, Root on 90 off 133. Broad should have been out really off the last ball of that over, he tries to hit the ball down the ground, gets a thick inside edge and the ball whistles past the stumps.
Jun 16, 2023 09:45 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 Live score: FOUR! Broad sweeps!
Sweep shot from Broad behind square from Broad off the second last ball of the 68th from Nathan Lyon. He is no ordinary tail-ender, he is the "Nighthawk" as Ben Stokes called it.
Jun 16, 2023 09:40 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: SIX! Root puts one in the crowd
Reverse scoop! Last time he had done that against Boland, this one is against Cummins. Root is making vicious fast bowlers look like benign part-time spinners. He moves to 89. England are 331/7.
Jun 16, 2023 09:33 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: OUT! That's it for Moeen
Another stumping due to a premeditated shot off Lyon and this time it is Moeen Ali who falls. He skips down the track looking to go down the ground. Very easy stumping for Carey.
Moeen Ali st Carey b Lyon 18 (17), England 323/7 in 65.5 overs
Jun 16, 2023 09:31 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: England 320/6 in 65 overs

The Ashes 2023 Live score: SIX! Moeen takes on Cummins
Moeen pulls Cummins for the fourth ball of the 65th over deep square. This is after he hat hit a four through cover-point two balls ago and so Moeen has very much started off like a T20 finisher here.
Jun 16, 2023 09:19 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: England 298/6 in 62 overs
The England batters have smashed the seam off the ball it seems. Well, whether that is the reason or not is nothing more than speculation but the ball has been changed due to a split seam. Moeen Ali, whom the England fans have been saying is a better version of Nathan Lyon all throughout this session, is now batting in his first innings since Test retirement. He had been hitting the leather for the past couple of months for CSK in the IPL so should slot right into the Bazball scheme of things.
Jun 16, 2023 09:12 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: GONE! Bairstow is stumped!
Bairstow advances and misses, Carey gets a straightforward stumping. It was premeditated from Bairstow and he went through with the shot through square even when the ball turned away.
Bairstow st Carey b Lyon 78 (78), England 297/6 in 61.4 overs
Jun 16, 2023 09:10 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: England 292/5 in 61 overs
Bairstow pulled the fourth ball of that over to the boundary as well and he moves to 74 off 76. Root still on 77 off 120. The former England captain is quite happy letting Bairstow put on a show at the other end at the moment.
Jun 16, 2023 09:08 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 Live score: DROPPED! Bairstow gets a life
Well that's the last thing Australia would have wanted. Good length from Hazlewood for the second delivery of the 61st, it is wide outside off, Bairstow goes for a full drive, outside edge, Carey dives to his right but can't get it to stick to the end of his outstretched right hand.
Jun 16, 2023 09:06 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: FOUR! Bairstow drills through cover!
Wide half volley for the first ball of the 61st from Hazlewood, Bairstow stays leg side, makes enough room for himself and smashes it through covers.

The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: FOUR! 100-run stand
Bairstow advances and whips Lyon over midwicket to bring up the seventh 100-run stand between him and Root. He has pretty much taken control of this stand since the start of this session now.
Jun 16, 2023 08:58 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: England 273/5 in 58 overs
Bairstow has moved to 58 off 63 after hitting fours off the third and fourth balls of that over, Root on 74 off 115. Hazlewood continues from the other end. It has to be noted that Cam Green has bowled just three overs today. Lyon goes back to fielding at the boundary and can't help but smile as the polite Moeen Ali comparisons continue from the England fans who are really enjoying this partnership.
Jun 16, 2023 08:53 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 Live score: Fifty for Bairstow!
In just 58 balls. He had been out for over a year due to a terrible freak injury which came right when he was in a sensational patch of form. In that period, he had scored six centuries and one fifty, is it going to be another here?
Jun 16, 2023 08:43 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: England 261/5 in 55
Bairstow started that over with a lovely cover drive for four. He is on 46 off 54 at the end of that over and Root on 74 off 106. Nathan Lyon, who was just peppered with a chant from the England fans that said that he is "just a s**t Moeen Ali", continuing from the other end.
Jun 16, 2023 08:34 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: SIX! Root brings out the T20 stuff!
Oh that is just ridiculous from Joe Root. The fifth ball of the 53rd from Boland who averages just over 15 goes good length wide outside off. Root squares up and reverse flicks it over the slip cordon, all the away past the boundary.
Jun 16, 2023 08:32 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 Live score: The players are back!
So Scott Boland will bowl the first over of the final session. Bairstow is on strike with Root at the other end. England 240/5.
Jun 16, 2023 08:11 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: England 240/5 in 52 overs at Tea
Lyon bowled the uneventful last over of an eventful session that saw England continuing on their merry path but losing five wickets. Root and Bairstow have looked quite steady though. The pair have put up 64 runs for the sixth wicket off 82 balls. Root is on 66 off 97, Bairstow on 33 off 45. This match is already at a crossroads already, if Australia get a wicket in the next session, they could England all out before they reach 400, if they don't though, they are staring at a mammoth total at the end of this day itself with either Root or Bairstow, or both, scoring a century. That's… not Test cricket normally. But, it is Bazball.
Jun 16, 2023 08:06 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: 50 overs gone, England 230/5
Nope, it's not an ODI score and the teams are not running back to prepare for Australia's 231-run chase. This is the Bazball effect. 230/5 is what can be called a low total but something that can still be defended in an ODI match but this is Test cricket. Teams are supposed to be able to score at a far lesser rate than even a below average batting run rate in any limited overs cricket. Well, someone tell England that if you dare. Root on 65 off 93, Bairstow on 32 as just over one over remains for Tea.
Jun 16, 2023 08:01 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: Root gets an LBW decision reversed
Big appeal for LBW off the fourth ball of the 50th right after Root hit the previous one for four. The umpire raises his finger quickly and Root was even quicker in going for the review. Looked plumb to the naked eye unless Root had got something on it and he seemed quite confident of that. As it turns out, he did get some bat on that and so he stays.
Jun 16, 2023 07:53 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: FOUR! Shot from Bairstow
Last ball of the 48th, Bairstow hits him down the ground over mid-off. No one there and it is straightforward pickings. England are 217/5 in 48 overs. Bairstow on 24 off 37, Root on 52 off 81.
Jun 16, 2023 07:36 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: 50 for Root!
An easy single off the second ball of the 44th takes the great man to his 59th Test fifty. "Na na na na Joe Rooooot!!!" sings the Edgbaston crowd. They seem to have decided to use the famous Beatles song as their primary chant for Root as opposed to the "Roooooo!!" that sounded so much like a boo.
Jun 16, 2023 07:29 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: England 190/5 in 43 overs
Root on 45 off 72 and Bairstow on six off 14. England have given Bazball a break for now and Australia will know just how important it is to get Root out. He is looking as steady as ever at the moment.
Jun 16, 2023 07:20 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 Live score: Green comes in at last

Stokes drives Hazlewood on the up, goes behind and the umpire raises his finger. Stokes is not sure about that and reviews, replays show a clear nick. The England captain has to walk and Australia are right back in it now.
Stokes c Carey b Hazlewood 1 (8), England 176/5 in 38.4 overs
Jun 16, 2023 06:58 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: OUT! BROOK BOWLED IN THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY WAY!
Australia are back in it in a rather bizarre way. Extra spin and bounce from Lyon, Brook shoulders arms and the ball hits his thigh pad. THe batter doesn't really look up and is search for the ball beneath him while it comes back down on the ground, takes a bounce and spins on to the wickets.
Brook b Lyon 32 (37), England 175/4 in 37.2 overs
Jun 16, 2023 06:50 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 Live score: 50 partnership in just 54 balls
A single off the fourth ball of the 36th bowled by Lyon does the job. Root on 36 off 57 and Brook 32 off 30. England are 174/3.
Jun 16, 2023 06:42 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: DROPPED! Brook gets a reprieve
How about that for a sequence of events. 4, 2, 4, dropped. It was not a straightforward chance, Head comes running in from deep backward point, dives forward and gets the ball in his hands but it spills out.
Jun 16, 2023 06:37 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: 4, 2, 4, Brook on the charge
Brook with a late cut off Boland off the first ball of the 33rd to take England over the 150-run mark. He then hit the second ball behind point and Head somehow stopped it at the ropes. Then Brook charges and smashes Boland over cover off the third.
Jun 16, 2023 06:35 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: England 148/3 in 32 overs
Root on 29 off 48, Brook on 14 off 17. Both players are relying on singles and doubles and so England don't really feel any pressure with the boundaries drying up. This is limited overs language of course but that is how England are going about their business at the moment.
Jun 16, 2023 06:24 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 Live score: FOUR! Brook gets his first
Brook comes down the ground and sends Lyon over extra cover off the first ball of the 30th.

Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon all got a wicket each but England scored over 120 runs. Crawley was the constant for them throughout the session and he was undone by a ripper from Boland off the last ball of the session. His 22-run stand with Ben Duckett came in 22 balls after which came a 70-run stand with Ollie Pope off 86 deliveries. Pope scored 31 off 44 before falling to Lyon. Joe Root then put up 32 off balls with Crawley at the other end before the latter fell on 61 off 73 balls. The former England captain is now unbeaten on 20 off 33 with Harry Brook set to join him.
Jun 16, 2023 05:39 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: LUNCH! England are 124/3 in 26.4 overs
Three wickets in the first session is normally good for any bowling side but what do you say when those three wickets have come at the cost of 124 runs?
Jun 16, 2023 05:32 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 Live score: OUT! Crawley is gone!
Well if there was no DRS this would've been an umpiring howler. It was a jaffa from Boland, leaps from a length and took Crawley by surprise. There was a big sound as the ball passed his gloves and Australia looked quite confident of it. But Marais Erasmus was unmoved, leading to some puzzled looks from Australia before Cummins takes the review. There was no need for ultra edge even and the decision is reversed.
Crawley c Carey b Boland 61 (73), Australia 124/3 in 26.4 overs
Jun 16, 2023 05:24 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: FOUR!

Crawley on 56 off 65, Root on 4 off 13. Boland comes in to replace Cummins so it is short spells for the fast bowlers. Cameron Green is yet to bowl though.
Jun 16, 2023 04:57 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: Fifty for Crawley!
In just 56 balls. This has been some innings from the England opener, six boundaries in it so far. Meanwhile, his current partner Joe Root got a big reception has he came out, as one would expect.
Jun 16, 2023 04:53 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: OUT! No fortune for Pope!
Right after he hit Nathan Lyon down the ground for four, Pope falls. Big shout for LBW, the umpire shakes his head but Lyon looked extremely confident. Carey also reckons it's worth a look and Cummins goes upstairs. As it turns out, it was three reds and Pope falls.
Pope lbw b Lyon 31 (44), England 92/2 in 18 overs
Jun 16, 2023 04:44 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: Bit of fortune for Crawley
The fourth ball of the 15th had whistled past Crawley's outside edge. An over later, replays show that it had taken a little feather edge from the bat. Not even an appeal from Australia. Wonder if they have been bludgeoned into submission already. England are in ODI mode, 79/1 in 16 overs.
Jun 16, 2023 04:30 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: FOUR! England 66/1 in 13 overs

Jun 16, 2023 04:24 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 Live score: Australia 55/1 in 11 overs

Jun 16, 2023 04:10 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: First change for Australia
Scott Boland replaces Pat Cummins. He was nightmarish for England in the last Ashes in Australia and he was brilliant against India last week in the WTC final. Interesting to see how England approach this. Australia 40/1 in 9 overs

Jun 16, 2023 03:47 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: FOUR! Lucky for Duckett
Duckett trying to play Hazlewood square but there wasn't quite the kind of room that he expected there. Almost chops on and it runs behind for a boundary.
Jun 16, 2023 03:43 PM IST
The Ashes 2023 Live score: FOUR! Duckett gets one away
England are wasting no time putting pressure on Australia here. Cummins with a delivery on the hips and Duckett tucks it away with brilliant timing to square leg. Australia are just too defensive at the moment on a pitch that Mike Atherton says is a batting paradise.
Jun 16, 2023 03:37 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: FOUR! Off the first ball of the 2nd over now

The Ashes 2023, England vs Australia Live score: 5/0 after the first over
Just a single off the over after that first ball four. Josh Hazlewood comes in for the second over with all sorts of question marks over his fitness.

The Ashes 2023 1st Test live score: FOUR! Welcome to England says Crawley
Pat Cummins steams in for the first ball, Zak Crawley on strike with Ben Ducket at the other end. Remember the first ball of the first Ashes Test in Australia last time around? Rory Burns bowled around his legs by Mitchell Starc? Well, here Zak Crawley despatches the first ball to the boundary. Replays showed that even Ben Stokes was rather stunned by that.

The Ashes 2023 Live score: Moment of silence
The two teams have lined up for their national anthems before that, a minute's silence in honour of the victims of the horrific Nottingham attacks. Both teams are wearing black arm bands as well.

Jun 16, 2023 03:18 PM IST
The Ashes 2023, ENG vs AUS Live score: Two ways this could go…
Either England would be about six wickets down by Lunch at the very least or they would have scored somewhere around 180 runs with one of their players scoring at least a half century with a strike rate over 100, if not more than that. That, is how Bazball works.

The Ashes 2023 Live score: Australia drop Starc
It is Hazlewood, Boland and Cummins that they have gone for. Starc was pretty good against India in the WTC final but the fact that he was pretty much the worst performer among the pacers despite that shows just how good Australia were in that game. England, of course, had declared their eleven yesterday.
