England played 'Bazball' on day 1 of the first Ashes 2023 Test against Australia as after scoring 393 for 8, they declared their innings to send shockwaves among the spectators at the ground and fans elsewhere. Joe Root was the best batter for England on the day as he struck a fine 118 off 152 balls and went back unbeaten. His innings included 7 fours and 4 sixes respectively. He redefined Test batting as his knock was filled with mix of textbook cricket shots and those from the T20 notebook. The reverse-scoop off Scott Boland was the shot of the day, for it was a fantastic shot and it came at a time no one expected: right in the first over after tea.
Nathan Lyon was the pick of the bowlers as he finished with a four-wicket spell. His good show meant that Australia did not miss Mitchell Starc, who was surprisingly replaced with Josh Hazlewood as Scott Boland kept his place in the playing XI. Boland and Cameron Green picked 1 wicket each while Josh Hazlewood got two wickets. It will be interesting to see how Day 2 pans out.
