Mark Wood's outstanding figures of 5/34, along with contributions from Chris Woakes (3/73) and Stuart Broad (2/58), were instrumental in England's strong performance with the ball.

Ashwin on Sunday said that unless the keeper observed a pattern of the batter leaving his crease after a leaving a ball like Bairstow did, he would not have a "dip at sumps from that far out" in a match. 

In a fourth-innings chase in England, Stokes is a force to reckon with. Australia witnessed that four years back and were in for a repeat show when the England captain smashed a record 155, the highest score by an English skipper in Ashes in 13 years.

Now Anderson, who had figures of 1-109 in the Ashes opener, has joined Broad in calling out the Edgbaston pitch for its slow nature and not giving enough help to fast bowlers.

Cummins charged in to deliver the first ball of the day, only to be confronted with a daring attempted reverse scoop from Root.
