In the eagerly anticipated fifth Ashes Test at Kennington Oval, Australian pace ace Mitchell Starc delivered a huge blow to England’s hopes.
The Australian speedster unleashed a corker of delivery, dismissing England captain Ben Stokes for a mere 3 runs from 16 deliveries. The left-hander had to walk back, leaving Australia ecstatic with this crucial breakthrough.
Starc’s expertly pitched-up delivery to Ben Stokes in the 39th over posed a challenge. The delivery squared Stokes up and swung subtly after pitching, shattering the off-stump and leaving the all-rounder bewildered.
An absolute beauty from Mitchell Starc 🔥

Throughout the series, Ben Stokes had consistently inflicted damage on the Australian side, showcasing his brilliance with a memorable 155 and pivotal 80-run innings. However, Pat Cummins had a stroke of luck in the series as he won the toss for the first time in the 3rd Test, electing to field, altering the course of the gripping Ashes battle.
