In a sensational display of bowling prowess, the England cricket team achieved yet another milestone during the first Test of the Ashes 2023 at Edgbaston in Birmingham. By bundling out Australia for 386 runs in the first innings, England claimed their 26th consecutive occasion of dismissing all ten opposition batsmen. Led by Ollie Robinson and Stuart Broad, who took three wickets each, the English bowlers demonstrated their skill and determination. This extraordinary feat has not only given England a crucial advantage but also solidified their reputation as a formidable force in the longest format of the game.

England’s bowling attack was relentless and disciplined throughout the Australian innings. Ollie Robinson and Stuart Broad spearheaded the assault with their exceptional performances, securing three wickets apiece. Moeen Ali made significant contributions by claiming two wickets, while James Anderson and Ben Stokes also chipped in with a wicket each. Their combined efforts restricted Australia to a first-innings total of 386 runs, handing England a slim lead of 7 runs.

England won the toss and chose to bat first, and the Ben Stokes-led side set the tone for an aggressive style of play. The English batsmen displayed their prowess, accumulating 393 runs on the board before surprisingly declaring the innings. However, in the second innings, England faced challenges with the bat and failed to perform up to their usual standards.

Despite the batting struggles, key contributions from Ben Stokes, Joe Root, and Harry Brook provided England with a second-innings total of 273 runs. Their crucial scores helped set a challenging target of 280 runs for Australia to chase. The stage was set for England’s bowlers to maintain their remarkable streak of dismissing all opposition batsmen for the 27th consecutive time.
