It was a pretty dominant performance by the Kangaroos as they were exceptional with bat and ball. The match ended on Saturday morning after Australians were put to bat by the English players for the target of only 20 runs. The first Test didn\u2019t went well for England as they weren\u2019t good enough to beat Pat Cummins\u2019 men. Under all-rounder Pat Cummins\u2019 captaincy, Australia was brutal against the English players.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing in England\u2019s favor was the toss. After they chose to bat, the Kangaroos\u2019 bowlers were so brilliant that they didn\u2019t let any batsman stay on the crease for long. The England batting line-up was demolished by the Australian bowlers and they could only reach the score of 147. After an amazing bowling performance, the Australians did the same with bats in their hands. They scored a mammoth 425 runs in their first innings. Travis Head\u2019s 152 and opener David Warner\u2019s 95 runs innings proved to be very crucial which made their lead so massive that England now had no chance but to bat exceptionally well to win or draw this match. But England\u2019s batting line-up succumbed again and the Australians stopped them at the score of 297.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A near-complete performance from Australia sees them take a one-nil lead in the series <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Ashes?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Ashes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cricketcomau\/status\/1469507868495777792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 11, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Now, it was more than easy for Australia to win this Test-match as they only had a target of 20 runs.

However, the two batsman did the work for Australia and they are now leading the Ashes by 1-0. The second test is scheduled to be played between 16 Decmeber and 20 December at Adelaide Oval stadium.
