England Dominates Day 1 of Ashes Test, Australia Trails SignificantlyPreviousNext

England holds a strong position after Day 1 of the first Ashes Test, with Australia struggling at 123 for 9, trailing by 49 runs. Despite a reshuffle due to Usman Khawaja's unavailability, Australia's top order faltered against English bowlers Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse. A partnership between Travis Head and Cameron Green offered some stability before Ben Stokes took a five-wicket haul, dismantling crucial partnerships and leaving England firmly in control.
