Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes Australias method has worked against England as they won the first Ashes Test in Edgbaston by two wickets and opined that the Ben Stokes-led side were left questioning their 'Bazball' approach.

Captain Pat Cummins led Australia to a thrilling victory at Edgbaston through an unbeaten 44 and match-winning ninth-wicket stand of 55 with Nathan Lyon to chase down 281 on the last day of the match.
