In a thrilling display of cricket, Travis Head flipped the narrative against England by scoring one of the most memorable centuries in Ashes history. His performance led Australia to a commanding eight-wicket victory with three days to spare in the first Test.

Head, who ascended the batting order due to Usman Khawaja's injury, dismantled England's 'Bazball' approach with a blistering century from just 69 balls. This aggressive innings featured Head smashing boundaries across the ground, delivering an electrifying 123 off 83 balls.

Australia, unbeaten at home in Ashes tests since the 2010-11 series, extended their streak to 16. The team aims to continue this momentum in the second Test starting December 4 at the Gabba in Brisbane.
