Ashes 2019: England thrashed at Edgbaston as Australia go one up in series

Here's how final day of the first Test played out

Ashes 2019: Joe Root and Tim Paine prepare for England vs Australia

England were knocked over for 146, with Nathan Lyon spinning his way to six wickets as Australia went one up in the Ashes series at Edgbaston.

England had not lost a Test at their Birmingham stronghold since 2008 and toasted victory in each of their previous 11 matches here across all formats. Australia, meanwhile, had lost 15 successive games on Warwickshire's turf, dating all the way back to 2001.

But, just three weeks on from a historic World Cup success, the second part of English cricket's golden summer got off to a dreadful start as they were rolled over well before tea.

England 17-0 (Target 398), Rory Burns 11, Jason Roy 6, Pat Cummins 0-4 (1)

And that's a lovely way to start. Burns on the front foot, clean flow of the bat to place the ball wide of the man pushed out from mid-off and to the extra cover fence for four. 

Cummins returns with some fifth and sixth stump nagging. A little bit of movement away, but nothing to trouble the first innings centurion too severely.

James Pattinson will continue where he left off last night.

England 18-0 (Target 398), R Burns 11, J Roy 7, James Pattinson 0-3 (3)

Jason Roy chased Pattinson's final delivery last night but he's better here, leaving the first couple and then securely behind the third.

The fourth is straighter still and Australia venture an LBW appeal, but that is both high and leg-sidey, and there's an inside edge. Not out. Very not out.

OUT! A lifter from Cummins takes the glove and settles in the hands of backward point! Burns goes...

It had all looked so innocuous so far, but Cummins gets a ball to jerk from back of a length and rap the top glove of a prodding Burns, who looked to contemplate the duck before tamely trying to deflect it down.

To Nathan Lyon it floats. England lose their first.

Joe Root to the crease earlier than he'd have liked, and England's best first innings batter back in the sheds.

England 20-1 (Target 398), Joe Root 0, J Roy 9, J Pattinson 0-4 (4)

Burns got himself in a right muddle there, neither forward nor back and considering about five different actions before settling on the one that was certainly wrong. It was quick and hostile from Cummins and he extracted some life from the dead pitch - that's what the extra pace can provide.

Pattinson is no shrinking violet, either, and zips one past Roy's chin to open his over. Roy works to leg to bring the over's only score, a single.

England 20-1 (Target 398), J Root 0, J Roy 9, P Cummins 1-5 (3)

Australia are whooping and whinnying like excitable horses at feed time, and understandably so as their two fine right-arm stallions crank the speed up. Roy virtually ends up foetal as he throws himself away from another sharp bouncer.

And then he's beaten! Back of a length, pitching on off stump and nipping away, squaring Roy up, but just evading the outside edge. This is lively.

And it's Burns, Burns, Burns, caught out by Pat Cummins' ring of fire...

OUT! Root reviews! Given out LBW...
