Although Australia lost the Edgbaston Test inside three days, they would still have been hopeful of making a comeback at Trent Bridge since they had fought hard at Lord’s as well to recover from the Cardiff setback

If the third Test at Edgbaston lasted for two and a half days, the fourth Test at Trent Bridge finished even quicker, with England wrapping up things very early on the third day, and thus regaining the Ashes

Shambolic. Embarrassing. Pathetic. Disastrous. Cricket pundits and critics would be running out of adjectives to describe Australia's batting effort (or the lack of it) on day one. How really does one describe a batting innings lasting less than 20 overs on the opening day of a crucial Ashes Test?

Stuart Broad skittled Australia for 60 in the morning session and then Joe Root piled on the runs in the afternoon and evening sessions to give England 214-runs lead at the close of day 1 of the fourth Test at Trent Bridge.

The 2015 Ashes has charted a rather unpredictable path so far. Both sides were competitive in the opening Test at Cardiff before England pulled away towards the end, but Australia fought back with a superlative batting effort at Lord’s

The manner in which England capitulated at Lord’s, there would have been plenty of headaches for them as they headed into the Edgbaston Test

That Australia had issues in the batting department was evident from the manner in which they went down to England at Cardiff. But, having recovered following a fantastic batting effort at Lord’s, Australia would have been much hopeful of their campaign being back on track

England defeated Australia in the third Test by 8-wicket at Edgbaston to go 2-1 up in the five match Ashes series.

England started the day on 133 for 3 and were bundled out for 281 runs which means they gained a healthy lead of 145 runs. In reply, Australia’s batting collapsed again in the second inning too and they are seven down for mere 168 runs
