Australia's Usman Khawaja completed his first Test hundred in England as he continued to defy the hosts at Edgbaston on Saturday.

The left-handed opener completed a patient 199-ball century shortly after tea on the second day of the first Ashes Test when he late cut England captain Ben Stokes for four, with the 36-year-old Khawaja joyously shouting to acclaim the achievement before throwing his bat in celebration.

His 15th Test century was particularly valuable given Australia had earlier collapsed to 67-3 in response to England's 393-8 declared. 

Khawaja, however, led Australia past the follow-on target with what was his seventh hundred in 18 Tests since he was recalled to the side last year.
