First ever 50+ opening stand in this Ashes from both the teams, getting runs from New balls seems to be problem for openers. #Ashes2019

That was the first 50 partnership in a Test for an England opening pair since the first Test against the West Indies at the Kensington Oval in January. Maybe they only do it at Oval venues?? #Ashes
