- Australia take 1–0 lead after 251-run win at Edgbaston
- England tormented by Nathan Lyon and Pat Cummins
England lost the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston after a middle-order collapse on the final day saw Australia inflict a crushing 251-run defeat on the hosts.
It was always more likely to have been a case of whether England could bat out the the final day, a feat they had failed to achieve at any point during Trevor Bayliss’s tenure as head coach, rather than chase the improbable target of 398.
