Ashes 2019: the century of Rory Burns anchors England in the first try

The first century of Rory Burns' test led a determined effort in England on the second day of the first ash test against Australia at Edgbaston.

The left-handed opener, who was playing his eighth game, fought a day to cap for 125 points.

With Joe Root making 57 in a second place in the Wicket 132 and Ben Stokes in 38 without defeat, England has reached 267-4, shooting 17 points.

England has had good luck. Burns was on 21 when he would have been against Nathan Lyon if Australia had chosen to see again, while Root was surviving a James Pattinson delivery hitting a stump but not dislodging the cages when he was nine years old.

These incidents were typical of a day when Australia played well for a small reward in front of another noisy crowd celebrating every race in England and enjoying the warm evening sun.

It was only when they persuaded the referees to change balloon that the tourists had a period of success, with Joe Denly and Jos Buttler falling in four.

But Stokes, welcomed as a hero after his performance in the World Cup final, joined Burns in an uninterrupted stand of 73 for the fifth wicket.

England is therefore well placed, although they probably need a good first run to eliminate the inconvenience of the last shot on a terrain already offering a sharp turn.

The drummers of England pbad the first exam

Before the series, the English coach Trevor Bayliss said "it is not necessary to be Einstein" to infer that an unreliable top order was the main obstacle to reclaiming the Ashes.

In an unconvincing demonstration against Ireland last week, while England had been beaten to 85 goals in the first innings, it was Burns who seemed the most vulnerable.

Here, however, the Surrey man was the pillar of a collective England with old-fashioned stick-values ​​- patience, vigilance, and occupation of the fold.

This meant that the action was much quieter than the chaos of the opening day, but the local fans were just as eager to sing for England and taunt the Australians.

Like Thursday, arbitrage errors were a feature, but they were easier to forgive. It was a surprise when Burns was shown in Lyon, the sound of a bullet striking a stump caused Root to be caught behind and a tiny inside edge was not detected when Peter Siddle gave him the front leg at age 14. reversed.

At the top of the strong English day with the bat, there was also the welcome show of James Anderson running on the outside field, but there is still no news of the scan on his injured calf.

Burns lights Edgbaston

After Australian Steve Smith on the first day, Burns became the idiosyncratic second centurion of the Test, with his leaning position, his gaze turned towards the mid-wicket as the pitcher rushes and the bat goes down the direction ravine.

After taking over England 10-0, Jason Roy scored the first goal, leaving Burns and Root the rest of the morning and late into the afternoon.

The root scored only 11 of its first 60 balls, but gradually increased in fluidity. Burns has left well, scored mainly from the box office on both sides and had the fortune of a number of edges not going handy.

As England gained momentum, Root turned back to Siddle, which the bowler held with one hand, followed closely by Denly and Buttler.

Burns continued the battle. He spent 37 minutes on 92 and 35 balls in the 90s before a single from Lyon – confirmed after being accused of beating a direct hit at the end of the non-striker – sparked a celebration emotional and the songs of his name from the Hollies Stand.

With Stokes, he pushed back the second new ball to take England to the brink of parity.

Australia struggles to win

Bowling players are a bit too short in the morning and lyonnais Lyon occasionally drift on the skates of English lefthanders. Australia has worked hard and without the friction of the green.

How different would the day have been if Pattinson managed to cross Root to get out of the strain? On another occasion, one of the Burns edges could have found a defensive player.

They had at least 58 over-scored since the day they convinced referees that the ball was out of shape and were replaced by a much more dynamic replacement than the previous version.

Pattinson immediately trained one in Denly who had already stuck it to the leg, while Cummins' recessed move had an advantage for Buttler on the third slip.

This is the best result for visitors, who at one point gave way to Matthew Wade, a box office keeper.

After an unsuccessful review against Burns, the day ended and Australia was the subject of a barrage of fake Hollies calls.

"Cook would have been proud of these sleeves" – what they said

England's Rory Burns on the BBC Test Match Special: "It was something I dreamed about, I was 99 for a while – crossing the line is great, I was calm all this time, waiting for a balloon to come into my area.

"It was pure work for the purists – hard work, I like it, participating in the battle and doing what you can is enough for me."

Former British captain Michael Vaughan at the special BBC special test show "Rory Burns came here to Edgbaston, mentally, he showed that he was made of solid things.

"Alastair Cook would have been proud of these rounds – there is no greater compliment for a drummer who opened England.

"He was in all the shop against Ireland last week.His technique was not with him.He left and worked with his coaches.He tightened his arms and had an excellent plan of Beating all day was fantastic.

"It was the best match-test day I've seen in England for a long time."

Jonathan Agnew, BBC correspondent for cricket: "England should really be looking to set a big lead in the first leg tomorrow and they will need it."
