You legend Captain Patty!!!@patcummins30 #AUSvsENG #Ashes23
Usman Khawaja reveals the difficulties he faced trying to fit in within the Australian setup in the early stages of his career and just how comfortable he feels now ahead of the ICC World Test Championship Final
International stars - both current and former - were watching on as Cummins combined with Nathan Lyon late on the fifth day to guide Australia to a 1-0 series lead over England.
Test cricket at its best! What a game! Congratulations to @CricketAus for a fantastic win ๐๐#Ashes23

Well played both team! Test Cricket at its best #Ashes23
England veteran Joe Root stood out for the home side, with a brilliant century in the first innings of the match and the big wicket of Alex Carey on the final day in Birmingham. The 32-year-old was suitably proud of his side's efforts, despite the loss.
Love everything about this team ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟโค๏ธ

And Australia's women's players - who are preparing for their own Ashes series against England - even took some time out of their busy schedule to show their support to their male counterparts.
