Ashes 2017/18: Twitter Reacts As Day One Evenly Shared

England finished day one of the first Test on 196/4 after winning the toss and opting to bat first at the Gabba in Brisbane. Almost two hours of the day were lost due to rain just after the lunch break. James Vince and Jake Ball were given a chance in the first Test along with, one all-rounder in Moeen Ali and four fast bowlers in the England squad. In the Australian department, Cameron Bancroft earned his maiden Test cap as David Warner and Shaun marsh were fit to play in the first Test after reports of injuries to both the players on the eve of the match.

After losing wicket of Alastair Cook in the third over of the match with just two runs on the board, number three batsman James Vince and Mark Stoneman combined and steadied the England innings as the two were involved in a 125 runs partnership. Stoneman was then clean bowled with a beauty from Pat Cummins at 53.

Vince looked set for his maiden Test century on his Ashes debut but was dismissed a courtesy brilliant piece of fielding by Nathan Lyon. Joe Root was trapped in front of the stumps giving Cummins his second wicket of the innings.
