Ashes 2017/18: 5th Test, Day 1 - 5 things we learnt from the day

#3 Pat Cummins sizzles

Cummins burst in during the second session

Pat Cummins has been in sizzling form since returning from injury and the Ashes was supposed to be his litmus test in terms of fitness. Not many expected him to escape injury-free whole series, but here he is bowling with fury and venom in the final Test at Sydney having survived through the first four Tests.

Cummins was in scintillating rhythm in the second session post the rain break and dismissed Mark Stoneman and James Vince to peg England back. Although Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood have been rather good right through the series, Cummins has been the pick of the three.
