The Ashes 1st Test Day 5 England vs Australia Live Score: Lunch to be taken early as rain washes out first session

-

The Ashes 1st Test Day 5 England vs Australia Live Score: It’s the final day! Australia needs 174 runs to win. England need seven wickets to win.

And then there is a bit of rain expected as well on Tuesday. Hence, all three results are possible. Meaning, we are in for a scintillating finish at Edgbaston. Usman Khawaja and David Warner made a promising start in response to the target of 281.

But following a 61-run opening stand, the top-order crumbled. Ollie Robinson opened the floodgates with the dismissal of Warner before Stuart Broad struck twice to get rid of Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne. Nightwatchman Scott Boland played his part valiantly until stumps, but Australia’s true test awaits this morning.

Can Khawaja pull off another stunner against the England attack to drive Australia to a record chase?

In case your memory has been fogged up by all that rain, here is a lowdown on where we are at the moment with this Test. Australia are 107/3 and 30 overs have gone in their innings.

They are chasing a target of 281. Usman Khawaja is on 34 off 81 while nightwatchman Scott Boland has made 13 runs in 19 balls. Boland will be on strike whenever the two sides walk out to play today. Three of Australia’s best – David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, and Steve Smith are back in the hut.

Warner scored 36 off 57 before falling to Ollie Robinson (not Stuart Broad!!!!!!!!), while both Labuschagne and Smith were dismissed by Stuart Broad. Labuschagne had scored 13 off 15 while Smith made just six in 13. So Australia needs 174 to win, and England needs 7 wickets to win. Now you know why we say that this match is tantalizingly poised. 

What the umpires did earlier was not an official inspection. That is set to take place at 1.20 pm local time. It’s drizzling on and off there, which is not good at all, but the covers that have been peeled off are not coming back on at the moment.

The super soppers are hard at work and the sky is still gloomy but it hasn’t been raining for a while. It does look like we could have some action after Lunch after all.

  Cristiano Ronaldo   is feeling at home again. It took only two games for him to make his peace with Portugal’s national team and show he is not done impressing at the international level just yet. In his return after a disappointing World Cup and a controversial move to Saudi soccer, the 38-year-old Ronaldo scored four goals in Portugal’s first two games in 2024 European Championship qualifying, showing he remains the leader that fans got used to seeing wearing the national team’s red and green uniform. Ronaldo netted twice in the 6-0 rout of Luxembourg on Sunday, three days after scoring another brace in the 4-0 win over Liechtenstein when he became the men’s player with the most international appearances with 197. “Two games, two victories,” the Portugal captain said on his social media accounts after the win at Luxembourg. “Happy to have contributed to a very positive start by our national team. Let’s go.” The goals came against European minnows but seemed to be enough to...

  Australian middle-order batsman  Travis Head   said being dropped for the opening test in India came as a surprise after “robust” conversations with the selectors, and he was ready to play anywhere in the line-up after being recalled. The 29-year-old aggressive left-hander Travis Head was left out of the team for the first test of the four-match series in Nagpur after struggling against spin on the tours of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. “It was something that I didn’t expect coming here,” Travis Head told reporters in New Delhi. “The conversations were robust. Everyone has different opinions. I respect the coaching staff and selectors and I have a strong relationship with them. “I think that’s what made the conversations the way they went because there’s respect that goes both ways and we were able to voice our opinions. “I woke up the next morning and I’m still on tour playing for Australia, I still get to do what I love to do. I’d love to be competing and playing but there’...
