In 1882, Australia won against England at the Oval Stadium. It was the first test match victory for the Aussies on British soil. That time, a British newspaper, The Sporting Times, published a news. In that report, they wrote after the defeat against Australia, \u201cthe body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia<\/strong>.\u201d Since then, the Test series between Australia and England has been called the Ashes.<\/p>\n England skipper Joe Root won the toss and decided to bat first. All-rounder Ben Stokes has returned to the English squad with this series. He missed the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup due to injury. So getting him back to the team is a massive thing for the visitors.<\/p>\n However, England lost their first wicket on the first ball of the innings. Aussie pacer, Mitchel Starc, picked up the wicket of Joseph Burns in his first ball. England could not bat comfortably in that innings. They lost three wickets in eleven runs. Depending on Jos Buttler and Ollie Pope, the visitors crossed 100 runs. Pope scored 35 runs, and Buttler scored 39 runs before losing their wickets.<\/p>\n England lost all of their wickets after scoring only 147 runs. Pat Cummins picked up five wickets for Australia. On the other hand, Starc and Hazlewood got two wickets each.<\/p>\n Australia have a great start in their first innings. Opener David Warner missed the century only for six runs. He lost his wicket to Ollie Robinson after scoring 94 runs. Then Marnus Labuschagne came off the pitch and added 74 runs to the scoreboard. On the fifth wicket, Travis Head played a brilliant innings. He showed his batting class in that innings.<\/p>\n Travis Head scored 154 runs for the Aussies. Before losing the wicket to Mark Wood, he hit 14 boundaries and four over-boundaries. Overall, Australia scored 425 runs in the first innings.<\/p>\n England tried to pick up as many runs as possible in the second innings. But their two openers failed again. They lost the first wicket runs as Joseph Burns returned to the pavilion in the 9th over. The other opener, Haseeb Hameed, added 27 runs before losing the wicket.<\/p>\n Now, England captain Joe Root has made a partnership with Dawid Malan.
