Australia vs England, 4th Test, The Ashes, 2025-26 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Brydon Carse to J Richardson, no run, 138.7kph, back of a length angling in, Richardson hops and tucks it to mid-on

Brydon Carse to Mitchell Starc, out Caught by Stokes!! Stokes takes a superb catch and Starc departs for 1. Plays another aerial stroke and pays the price. Pitched up full and across the left-hander, Starc doesn't bother to keep it down as he shapes to play an uppish drive. Doesn't quite get it off the middle of the bat and the England captain moves back and to his right from mid-off. Stokes stays side-on and makes a tough catch look easy. No-ball check and it's a tight one. Don't think there's any part of the boot behind the line but the TV umpire rules it in favour of the bowling side. Mitchell Starc c Stokes b Brydon Carse 1(6)
