• ‘I was ready to run through a brick wall,’ says England opener
• Steve Waugh tells Australia batsman to watch and learn
Rory Burns tasted the sweet success of a maiden Test century against Australia after an evening with members of England’s 2005 Ashes-winning team that left him feeling ready to run through a brick wall.
Batting through the second day of the first Test for an unbeaten 125 that leaves England only 17 runs behind with six wickets in hand, Burns displayed all the obdurate qualities that many feared would be lost to England’s top order when his fellow left-hander Alastair Cook retired at the end of last summer.
