The Ashes 2025/26 first Test. Day One Stumps 🏏

Well that was an all-action day of Ashes cricket. 19 wickets and 295 runs. This is not going to be a five day match.

England 172ao. Australia have lost nine wickets and still trail by 49 runs.

Andy Zaltzman - Test Match Special statistician:

This is the most wickets taken in a day of an Ashes Test since the Old Trafford Test of 1909 where both teams were all out in the same day.

@thedimpause I started listening at 05:00 after lunch, it was quite an eventful morning over here 😀

@canion Oh no! Don’t suppose there’s any chance of rain for the next two days … or that somebody oblivious with Day 2 tickets will trade with you? 🫤
