The Ashes, 1st Test at Edgbaston, Day 4: Hooollly schmackerel. We have a blazing Test match on our hands. England went utterly wild on the fourth day, brilliantly and mad-eyed, especially Joe Root. Australia fought like hell to hold them back, especially Nathan Lyon and Pat Cummins. And then England set them 281 to win, when in 2005 this Test required 282. It's fate. There was still time for a Broad special. Don't miss the last act.
