Ashes 2019: English batsmen look to consolidate
Birmingham, Aug 2: It was a solid show from the English batsmen in overcast conditions on the second day of the first Ashes Test between England and Australia at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground on Friday. Starting the day on 10/0, the Englishmen went into lunch with the score on 71/1 with skipper Joe Root (11) and Rory Burns (41) at the crease.
James Pattinson removed Jason Roy (10) in the eighth over, caught by Steve Smith in the slip cordon, but that was the end of the joy for the Australians as both Root and Burns ensured that they didn't play any false shot. They followed the golden rule of giving the first session to the bowlers as both of them looked to produce a tight defensive game.
