PREVIEW
The great summer of sport continues with the start of the Ashes and England are taken to win the 1st Test which is underway at Trent Bridge.
Alastair Cook won the toss and immediately sent England into bat and that could prove the most important victory of the day.
The pitch is seriously dry – it hasn’t been watered for eight days – and is already cracked. Michael Atherton says it’s a good toss to win – bowling last on this pitch could be crucial.
Shock of the day came from Australia who sprang a major selection surprise by picking spinner Ashton Agar.
The left-armer, just 19, has played just 10 first-class matches, but he will make his Test debut at Trent Bridge.
England at around 1.94 on BETDAQ in play looks the best option for the First Test.
