What can we expect in 2025? Two new captains, probably. Stokes’s body seems highly unlikely to make it to the rematch and the pressure on Cummins’s leadership in the second half of this series was telling. Simon Burnton

It did mean Travis Head and Nathan Lyon were chosen to spend pretty much all day on the fence, closer to the rowdy England fans than their own team-mates.Their buccaneering batting is made all the more thrilling by the risk of it going spectacularly wrong, like watching a tightrope walker tiptoe between skyscrapers. England are likely to fall in a heap at some point this summer, but when? The longer they delay the collapse, the more chance of lifting the urn.

There's also an array of training gear available from long sleeved zip tops to hoodies and joggers. Men's boxer shorts, baseball caps and t-shirts branded 'The Ashes 2023' are also on sale now. Anticipation is building ahead of the first test and the Castore range could be the ideal way to show your support for England this summer. Less remembered are England being rolled by Glenn McGrath on the first day at Lord's in 2005 and Andrew Strauss' third-ball dismissal in 2010-11, both series England won. They became fashionable in the 1960s, according to David Long, the author of The Hats That Made Britain: A History of the Nation Through Its Headwear, “when seemingly anything new and unusual was hip”. Popular with hip-hop artists such as Run-DMC and LL Cool J, latterly their currency has “grown out of festival culture” – they became synonymous with Britpop in the 90s, when the Gallagher brothers and Damon Albarn were rarely seen without one. Australia: Pat Cummins, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Todd Murphy, Matthew Renshaw, Steve Smith (vice-captain), Mitchell Starc, David Warner. Bazball verdict It did not regain the urn but it did exactly what it promised, so you can’t really argue against it. Thrills, spills and an Ashes that threatened to explode our brains on a daily basis. Failure doesn’t matter, it turns out, when you fail this entertainingly.T20 and other short formats are here to stay, a cash cow to be milked by players, administrators and broadcasters alike. When he arrived at the crease before lunch he was greeted with more gaps than a politician's explanation. They speak of a desire to help others experience the highs of a Test career, not a desperation for personal results. As well as buy-in from a gnarled pair such as Jimmy Anderson and Stuart “the Nighthawk” Broad, a litter of newcomers have delivered. Australia could punch a hole in the ‘Bazball’ phenomenon and bask in a ‘told you so’ smugness that would go beyond just winning their first series in England for 22 years.

What does it mean? Were Australia frightened? The debate will continue throughout the day and again when Australia wakes.But, to question England's method would be to miss the point. For them, aggression is not a choice, it is a necessity. It is how they play because that is their best chance of being successful. The new collection features a number of items to get fans in the mood or to show their support ahead of the first test. Castore have not only unveiled items for supporters such as t-shirts, hats and hoodies but also replicas of the men and women's shirts the players will wear throughout The Ashes.

David Warner v Stuart Broad. Steve Smith's path to becoming the most prolific Ashes run-getter since Don Bradman. Broad and James Anderson's final stab at the Aussies. Moeen Ali's return. Travis Head's moustache. Zak Crawley's outside edge. The run-rate of 5.03 was England's second-fastest in a total of more than 300 against Australia, beaten only by the first-day 407 on this ground in 2005. Even on a pitch that looks flat, 393-8 is a healthy total.Predicting what will happen is more difficult than ever, even if the Test Match Special team have given it a good go. Farewell to … Low-key retirements. Sure, Broad deserved a send-off but the mawkish buildup to his guard of honour felt longer than Oppenheimer.
