The Ashes, 4th Test at Old Trafford, Day 1: A helter skelter game is promised, with rain on the weekend and England especially needing to make sure this does not end in a draw, so they went full tilt into Day 1, while Day 1 tilted one way and then the other. More Marsh Magic, Travis Head lays in, Stuart Broad takes his 600th wicket, Chris Woakes does the business once again. A brilliant day of Test cricket, back and forth.
