Tim Paine insists Australia will remain grounded despite ending England's stranglehold at Edgbaston after the tourists drew first blood in the 2019 Ashes with a 251-run win. Asked if this was a statement victory, Australia captain Paine responded: "You've got to keep a lid on it. There's still four Tests to go and we aren't here to win the first Test at Edgbaston - we're here to win the Ashes." Steve Smith became only the fifth Australian to record a century in both innings of an Ashes Test as Australia set England a fanciful 398 for victory before Nathan Lyon rose to the occasion on the final day. Australia's premier off-spinner exploited helpful conditions to take six for 49 while paceman Pat Cummins claimed the remaining wickets as England were skittled for 146 on day five. England had won their last 11 matches in all formats at the Birmingham venue while Australia claimed their first triumph at Warwickshire's ground since 2001 - the last time they won the urn on English soil.
