NEW DELHI: Australia captain Pat Cummins displayed his all-round brilliance with bat and ball on a rain-marred third day of the first Ashes Test against England in Birmingham. Cummins played a crucial role as Australia enjoyed the upper hand, leaving England reeling at stumps.
Australia began the day at 311/5, with Usman Khawaja standing tall on an unbeaten 126. Khawaja, who had been denied an Ashes century in England for a decade, continued his patient innings, frustrating the English bowlers. Together with Alex Carey (52), the pair led Australia's recovery from a shaky position at 67/3.
