ENG 1ST

OUT! Caught. Mitchell Starc to Mark Wood. Short, middle stump on the back foot cutting, top edge in the air uncontrolled, caught by Carey. England all out! What an hour after Lunch. England were poised to get a decent score but collapsed from 160/5 to 172 all out. Ben Stokes got a stunning delivery from Starc after Lunch. Harry Brook and Jamie Smith's partnership looked threatening for the Aussies, but Steve Smith worked out a short-ball plan and dismissed Harry Brook. The lower-order batters were dismissed in a matter of time. Mitchell Starc had a brilliant day with the ball, taking his best figures of his career of 58/7. Usman Khawaja couldn't open the innings because he was out of the field for most of the time. Join us for Australia's approach in a while.
