Usman Khawaja deserves to put the kettle on and enjoy a 'kipper tie', as they say in Birmingham, after answering Bazball with a chanceless hundred.
On a flat, sandpaper-coloured pitch, England found out the hard way that it will take more than funky declarations, bowling changes and field settings to regain the Ashes.
Khawaja feared his Test career had run up a dead end when he managed only 122 runs in six innings on his last tour of these shores. But as the Aussies fought like a pack of outback dingoes to wrest control of the LV= Insurance first Test at Edgbaston, their Pakistan-born opener would not be moved.
