In the latest Sky Cricket Podcast we hear from Root after his hundred heroics, with the Yorkshireman saying he hopes it is the first of many during the series. We also hear from Sky Sports' Sir Ian Botham, who gives his reflections on the first day's play.
Australia found the going tough at times on a flat, slow pitch at the SWALEC Stadium and Josh Hazlewood - who impressed with 3-70 on his Ashes debut - thinks the bowlers can improve, and says they must find a plan for Root.
