The Ashes first Test Day 1 : Australia 14/0 at Stumps after England declared their innings for 393/8
The Ashes first Test Day 1 : Joe Root stayed unbeaten on 118 off 152 balls as England declared their 1st innings only seven runs short of 400.A magnificent ton from Joe Root, his first against Australia since 2015, assisted England hustling to 393-8 pre-declaration on the first day of Ashes test, a move that didn't prove to be fruitful as the visitors looked comfortable to complete on 14-0 at stumps. Expecting to get 2-3 wickets of the exhausted Aussies, proposed by captain Ben Stokes and mentor Brendon McCullum, England gave themselves four overs to bowl at Australia on Friday, with next to no achievement. After an explosive positive beginning with the bat in Birmingham, the vital wickets of Stokes and troublemaker Harry Brook left the home side on 176-5 and gazing at the chance of being skittled out rapidly.
