England and Australia head into day three of the first Ashes Test

Usman Khawaja's chanceless century and three missed opportunities have left England's bowlers with a tenuous 82-run advantage at Edgbaston heading into day three of the first Ashes Test. The tourists responded with 311 for five after England made a surprise declaration at 393 for eight on the opening evening as Khawaja scored an impressive 126 not out.

On day two, he batted continuously from the first ball to the last, guiding his team from 67 for three to a far more secure position at stumps. Despite having Khawaja and Alex Carey (52 not out) at the crease, England is only two wickets away from exposing the tail. However, they will be regretting three missed opportunities: Jonny Bairstow failed to stump Cameron Green and Carey, and Stuart Broad dismissed Khawaja on 112 after a no-ball.
