The biggest rivalry of Cricket is back again. The first Ashes Test has kicked off at Edgbaston where England has opted to bat first. The highly anticipated series started in an enigmatic fashion by Zack Crawley. Watch Zak Crawley’s glorious shot on the very first ball of the first Ashes Test.

England is hosting Australia for yet another 5 match Ashes series where Cummins and Co will be looking to retain the prestigious trophy. The first test will be played at Edgbaston followed by the next 4 tests at Lords, Headingley, Old Trafford, and the Oval.

Zak Crawley’s glorious shot on the very first ball

England’s Ashes series has been off to a flying start with a fantastic square drive from the English opener Zak Crawley. He didn’t hesitate an inch while smashing Australia’s premier fast bowler Pat Cummins for a boundary.

Netizens are saying that Zak might have got a flashback of Rory Burns’s dismissal of the very first delivery in the last Ashes, so to counter that incident he flashed his bat hard.

😅

We were all Stokesy there…

However, his courageous stroke got a huge cheer from the English crowd along with the dugout. In fact, his captain Ben Stokes looked bamboozled after seeing his approach to face the first delivery.

That stroke gave a statement that this is how England will play thought out the course of the series.

The New England team has played attacking cricket in the red ball format since the arrival of their new head coach Brendon McCullum. Bazzy has brought a new dimension into this England batting order as they look to score at the rate of 4 in every session.

England’s all-out approach found them in a convincing position on day 1

The Bazball has proved to be useful once again as England has posted a good score on the board even after losing wickets. Returning from injury Johnny Bairstow continued his scintillating form as he scored run a ball 78 before getting stumped off Lyon’s delivery.

The player who scored the iconic first ball boundary Crawley also made 61 runs before getting nicked off to an absolute jaffa by Scott Boland.

And the same old story continues for the modern master Joe Root as he brings up his 30th Test ton on the opening day of the test match. His solid innings have put England in a very dominant position whereas the Aussies are looking frustrated.
