NEW DELHI: England skipper Ben Stokes expressed his devastation over the team's two-wicket loss in the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston but remained optimistic about their aggressive approach potentially leading to a series win against Australia.
The decisive factor in the see-saw contest was the unbroken ninth-wicket partnership of 55 runs between Australia captain Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon, who successfully chased down a target of 281 on the final day.
