The Day 1 of the first Ashes 2021-22 Test between Australia and England at The Gabba in Brisbane could not have gotten off to a spicier start.
Having won the Toss, England skipper Joe Root surprisingly decided to bat first amidst overcast conditions, only to be proved wrong on the first ball of the Ashes itself, when Mitchell Starc bowled Rory Burns around his legs with a significant inswinger.
Playing his first Test as the newly inducted skipper of the Australian Test side, Pat Cummins (13.1-3-38-5) then went on a carnage, bagging his sixth five-wicket haul in Tests. He along with Hazlewood (13-4-42-2) kept inducing the outside edges of the English top-order to reduce them to 5/61 at one point in time.
A half-century partnership for the 6th wicket between Jos Buttler (39 off 58) and Ollie Pope (35 off 79) meant England huffed and puffed towards the ultimate total of 147/10 in 50.1 Overs in their first innings.
What a day! And how good was our skipper, Pat Cummins! ⭐️
