Despite a mostly dominant first day’s play, England will feel like they aren’t at all in front of the first Ashes Test against Australia, who were saved by Steve Smith.
Despite being 8 for 122 at one point, Smith went on to score 144, batting for lengthy periods of time with bowlers Peter Siddle and Nathan Lyon, dragging the tourists to a very solid score on a tricky pitch to bat on.
Australia 1st innings: 10/284 (80.4)
England 1st innings: 0/10 (2)
The second half of Australia’s</strong great tour to England has arrived, with The 2019 Ashes series set to fire to life. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage of Day 1 from 8pm (AEST).
After taking out the Cricket World Cup, England will be brimming with confidence as they head to a victory they haven’t lost at since 2008.
Australia, meanwhile, haven’t won a single match in any format at Edgbaston since their last successful Ashes campaign in 2001, so they will have to fight off some demons to get the job done here.
England have confirmed their XI in the days leading up to the match, with Jofra Archer left out, meaning Stuart Broad, James Anderson and Chris Woakes make up a strong bowling attack, alongside Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes.
England won’t have it all their own way though. The top order of Rory Burns, Jason Roy and Joe Denly have just 11 matches of experience between them, which has forced Joe Root to move up to number three, where he has had less success over the years.
The home side could well find themselves relying on a middle order of Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow to dig them out of situations, and while they are all aggressive cricketers, they may not be the best options for the situation.
Australia will want to bowl first as well one would suspect, with James Pattinson and Pat Cummins confirmed as part of their attack, while Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood fight it out for the final spot.
It’s an attack that has limited experience and success in England, but one which has the tools to get through the English top order.
Like the hosts though, Justin Langer’s touring party will be worried about their batting in volatile conditions where the ball is going to move around.
David Warner, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft are all back having not played a Test for 18 months, but questions remain about the three of them, as well as the rest of the order, with Usman Khawaja returning from England, and Travis Head, Matthew Wade and Tim Paine often struggling against good swing and seam bowling.
Whatever the case, this is set up as a huge battle, and a pivotal one at the start of an Ashes series which looks like it could be won on a couple of key moments between two fairly evenly-matched sides.
The good news heading into Day 1 is that the weather forecast looks good. According to Met Office, the chance of rain is virtually none until 3pm, at which point it goes up to 30 per cent, so the chance of something close to a full day looks good.
