5 ways in which England can continue their dominance in the Ashes: The English squad has been dangerous on their home soils in the recent past and has maintained a predominant stature in tests over the last few years. In the first test of the Ashes, beating all the odds, the English team managed to beat Australia quite comprehensively by a margin of 169 runs. Prior to the start of the first test, Australia was regarded as the favourites on paper due to their strengthening squad and also due to the fact that 7 out of 13 members of the England squad did not play an Ashes series earlier. England outplayed Australia quite genuinely. Also history speaks in favour of the English team at the moment.

So, in this context, let us fetch some time to analyse 5 ways in which England can continue their dominance in the Ashes:

1. Joe Root’s significant batting form:

Root was scintillating in the first test and managed to score 194 runs in the test (134 in the 1st innings, 60 in the 2nd innings). He was also adjourned as the Man of the Match in the first test. His centurion knock in the first innings single handedly crafted the difference between the two teams in the first test. If he is able to continue with his glamorous form in the Ashes, England can surely wait for some fruitful results in the tests to follow.
