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

Starc picks up Root for the second time in the Test. Good length ball angled across, once again not quite in the driving zone but Root goes for it, hands well away from the body and the inside edge ricochets onto the stumps. That's four wickets in quick time and the match is back in the balance with the lead just 116. Root b Mitchell Starc 8(11) [4s-1]
