Australia vs England, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Brydon Carse to Mitchell Starc, out Caught by Stokes!! Almost a dreadful collision between Stokes and Duckett but they are fine in the end. It's a short of length delivery outside off, Mitchell Starc sees the width and throws his bat at that, off the top of the bat, flies towards mid-off, Stokes takes the easy catch but Duckett is near him, there's a little trip from Duckett on Stokes that sends the England captain tumbling but nothing alarming. Stokes gets up and has a big smile on his face as Duckett comes across to celebrate. Finally Starc's vigil ends. Fine knock and potentially a match-winning one. Walks off to a standing ovation.
