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

Brydon Carse to Jake Weatherald, out Caught by Duckett!! There's the wicket! England badly needed that. Carse might have gone for runs but he's the one to break the partnership. Weatherald has played his part in this opening stand. Back of a length delivery, angled in from round the wicket and Weatherald is looking to whip it into the leg-side, gets cramped for room and since the bat face was closed, the leading edge goes straight up, Duckett comes in from cover to take the dolly. Seemed like the ball didn't bounce as much as Weatherald expected. Jake Weatherald c Duckett b Brydon Carse 23(34) [4s-3]
