Pat Cummins said he was preparing for an “era-defining” few weeks after leading his Australia side to victory in the World Test Championship final just five days before the Ashes get under way at Edgbaston. “We’ve seen it as one big tour with two huge titles to play for,” he said. “It’s good to tick the first one off.”
This match featured the best teams of the past two years of Test cricket, Australia ultimately overwhelming India by 209 runs, with a fresh cycle about to get under way in Birmingham.
