Cummins leads Australia to thrilling Ashes victory over England at rain-hit Edgbaston.
Australia won the first Test of the 2023 Ashes series against England by two wickets at Edgbaston. Pat Cummins, the Australian captain, hit the winning runs with a back-cut down towards the boundary. Usman Khawaja's contribution was crucial as he faced 518 balls in the match and batted on each of the five days, top-scoring in both innings with 141 and then 65. The game had echoes of the 2005 Test here, but this time, it was Australia who won by two.
