ENG vs AUS: Former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara feels England have the edge over Australia in the ongoing first Ashes Test at Edgbaston, saying the captaincy and thinking in taking a slender seven-run lead has been brilliant.

England took the last five Australian wickets for 75 runs to bowl them out for 386 in the first session of day three's play, with Ollie Robinson taking three of those scalps after a wicketless performance on Day Two's play. For Australia, Usman Khawaja top-scored with 141, his first Test century in England.
