England vs Australia 1st Test Highlights, Ashes 2023: Australia register thrilling two-wicket win over England

Australia beat England by two wickets in a thrilling climax to the opening Test of the five-match Ashes series on Tuesday. The visitors, set a 281 victory target, began a rain-delayed fifth day on 107 for three but their chances looked remote when they slumped to 227-8. But captain Pat Cummins struck 44 not out in a superb partnership with Nathan Lyon to see Australia over the line in a climax of suffocating tension.
