1. Aakash Chopra didn’t seem too impressed with Joe Root’s footwork

Identical ball. Identical dismissal. Root’s Déjà Vu moment against Cummins. Front-foot isn’t going anywhere…. #TheAshes

Well done @MohammadNabi007 on your short yet sweet Test career. You've been an inspiration for the Afghan youngsters and hope you continue to be one by being more successful in limited-overs. Also, loved the gesture by @rashidkhan_19 to dedicate the MoM award

6. Wahab Riaz to take a break from red-ball cricket to maintain his fitness and focus on the shorter formats

After a lot of thinking and discussions with my family and board, I have decided to take a break from red-ball cricket and maintain my fitness and focus on the shorter format for my country. It was a tough decision and I appreciate my Board’s support and guidance during this time

7. Dan Christian doesn’t really understand all the talks surrounding the pitch. In the end, it is the better team that wins

Why is such a big deal made about the toss on a normal wicket? It’s not a dry road, and it’s not green, so it doesn’t matter.

I always thought if you bowl the ball, hit the ball, and catch the ball better than the opposition do, you’ll probably win the game 🤷🏻‍♂️
