1st Ashes Test Live: England are batting first against Australia.© AFP
ENG vs AUS, 1st Ashes Test, Day 1 Live Updates: Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett eye a solid start for England in the side’s ongoing first Ashes Test against Australia on Friday. England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and opted to bat at Edgbaston in Birmingham. With their ultra-aggressive brand of cricket, England have forced the rest of the world to sit up and take notice, with 11 wins in 13 Tests since captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum joined forces last year. But doubts persist as to whether their policy of all-out attack can work against arch-rivals Australia, who only last week hammered India by 209 runs at The Oval to win the World Test Championship final.
