The Ashes got off to a thrilling start with England and Australia locked in an intense battle in the first test at Edgbaston.
England looked to be in a perilous position after Australia took two wickets before rain ended play around 4pm on Sunday afternoon. Australia look to have the hosts under the cosh as they began today's play with another bombardment from the fierce Patrick Cummins and Cameron Green.
England took a commanding lead in the first innings with 398 but thanks to a brilliant innings from Usman Khawaj, Australia fought back with 386. As always with England vs Australia, there has been a fair share of drama so far after Ollie Robinson unleashed a verbal tirade on Khawaja after he took his wicket.
However, Robinson has been bullish in his defence of his on-field actions claiming that he doesn't "care how it's perceived" and cited the "passion" of the occasion. The test is expected to run into day five and with the way play has been so far it could promise to be an electric day's action.
