Stokes to Mitchell Starc, out Caught by Brydon Carse!! Third wicket for Stokes. Reckless shot from Starc. There was no need to play the big shot. But that's the beauty of counterattacking cricket - you live by the sword and die by it. Fullish delivery and Starc's eyes lit up, he looks to bash this down the ground but ends up dragging it off the inner half to mid-on, another easy catch for Carse. The bat turned on impact and hence there was no timing. Australia are 7 down and still 54 runs adrift. Mitchell Starc c Brydon Carse b Stokes 12(12)
