Ashes 2023: Australia Make Steady Start After Root's Ton Steers England To Surprise First-Day Declaration

By IANS News June 17, 2023 • 10:04 AM View: 1106

Ashes Series: Australia made a steady start in their first innings after Joe Root's excellent century steered England to a surprise declaration on an intriguing opening day of the first Ashes 2023 Test, here on Friday.

Root's unbeaten 118 not out, his 30th century in Test cricket, was the stand-out contribution on a surface that offered little for the bowlers, and was the 32-year-old's fourth hundred against Australia but his first since 2015. His ton drew him level with Matthew Hayden and Shivnarine Chanderpaul in the all-time list, just three behind Alastair Cook's England record of 33.
