Australia seemed on the front foot after the first innings of play, as their bowlers did a remarkable job with the Bazball for just 172 runs. Mitchell Starc remained the pick of the bowlers with a 7-wicket haul.
Unlike the first innings, where Marnus Labuschagne was promoted to the top of the batting order, Travis Head, their traditional opener, was promoted to the top in the second innings.
He helped Australia to go dominant and fearless to claim a victory in the very first Ashes, on just the second day of play. Head scored a century off just 69 balls before taking his team past the 200-run mark with a 123-run inning.
Usman Khawaja suffered a back injury during England's second innings
Usman Khawaja, the Australian opener, has not opened the innings for Australia across both innings. The 39-year-old cricketer has been suffering from recent injuries; instead, Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head opened for Australia in the two innings, respectively.
Hence, he could not open in the second innings, and his recovery is expected soon, because Australia would not be able to tackle any further injury setbacks.
