Australia vs England, 1st Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Stokes to Green, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Edged and gone! Second wicket for Stokes. Australia in trouble now. Both their set batters gone in quick succession. Stokes is pumped and so are the rest of his team mates. This is a classic Stokes wicket. Fullish delivery, angled in and Green is drawn into the drive as the line is outside off, but the ball straightens to catch the outside edge and Jamie Smith has a simple take behind the stumps. Green was looking assured but he too departs. Green c Jamie Smith b Stokes 24(50) [4s-2]
