Former England captain Nasser Hussain has criticised the decision making of Australia skipper Michael Clarke on day one of the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston.

The tourists won the toss and elected to bat, but they were bowled out for just 136 before restricting England to 133-3 at the close of play.

Hussain has questioned Clarke's decision to bat first and his field placings.

He told Sky Sports News: "When the toss came down in Australia's favour, if you'd have offered [Alastair] Cook this score he would have grabbed your hand off – and I'm not sure Clarke has had the greatest of days.

"The toss was probably a 50/50 decision but having bowled England out for 100-odd at Lord's and then seen a grassy pitch here, why not put them back in?

"He then hasn't got any runs and I think he has also been too funky with his field settings. It's not a pitch for two men out on the hook, three men out on the drive, it's a pitch to set you normal field and hit the top of off-stump."

The series is currently locked at 1-1.
