BEST BATTER IN 2nd INNING:
JONNY BAIRSTOW 75*(72)

BEST BOWLER IN 2nd INNING:
NATHAN LYON 3-33

The track at Edgbaston is often known to be batting-friendly, which acts like an Asian wicket compared to the lively ones in other parts of England. The surface offers good purchase for bowlers as well, with spinners coming into play in the final two innings.

TEAM PREVIEW

ENGLAND
England's new-found aggressive approach will be tested against Australia, who have time and again challenged the host batters to employ Bazball cricket once they take the field.
 Stokes along with Joe Root, Jonathan Bairstow, and Ollie Pope will be under the pump, with other players still finding their footing in international cricket. 
The bowling as usual will be spearheaded by James Anderson and Stuart Board, with Ollie Robinson acting as the third pacer. The introduction of Moeen Ali adds depth to the batting unit, plus his ability to bowl off-spin makes his match-up against left-handers advantageous. 

ENGLAND SQUAD FOR FIRST TWO ASHES TESTS: 
Ben Stokes (captain), Moen Ali, James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow, Stuart Broad, Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Dan Lawrence, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood. 

AUSTRALIA
Fresh from winning the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2023, Australia heads into the series as a well-oiled machine. Cummins, since taking over the captaincy reins last year, has instilled new intent and purpose within the Test side, giving players their due space for blossom. 
The likes of David Warner, Usman Khawaja, and Steven Smith will hope to finish the tour on a high, which could be their last as well. For Warner, it would be important to get past his demons against Stuart Broad. 
The bowling looks settled, and with Scott Boland in the mix, along with Cameron Green, both Cummins and Mitchell Starc will get much-needed respite in the middle.

AUSTRALIA SQUAD FOR FIRST TWO TESTS
Pat Cummins (captain), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Josh Hazelwood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Todd Murphy, Matthew Renshaw, Steve Smith (vice-captain), Mitchell Starc, David Warner.

Prediction
Australia have a slight edge over England, having played a tougher opponent heading into the first Test, and is likely to take the lead.
