It's a tense Monday evening at Edgbaston, and not a single person has left the ground early. This exemplifies the gripping nature of Test cricket, particularly in an enthralling Ashes Test. Today has been an exceptional day of cricket, even though it feels like ages ago when Ollie Pope was dismissed by Pat Cummins' yorker, but in reality, it happened just this morning. Despite valuable contributions from Root, Stokes, and Brook, none of them managed to surpass 50 runs. Lyon and Cummins took four wickets each, bowling England out for 273. In response, David Warner and Usman Khawaja showcased their positive and confident cricket during the final session. They successfully blunted the impact of the new ball, with Warner appearing threatening until he was tempted by a wide delivery from Robinson. This marked the beginning of the Stuart Broad show, where every delivery became a momentous event in his exhibition of swing bowling. With the crowd rallying behind him, Broad managed to bowl two exceptional outswingers, claiming the edges of Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith. Since then, Scott Boland, as the nightwatchman, has fulfilled his duty, while Usman Khawaja stands strong at the other end, much like in the first innings. As we approach the final day, England needs 174 runs to win with 7 wickets in hand. There's a chance of rain, adding to the uncertainty. All three outcomes are possible.
