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

Boland to Crawley, out Lbw!! That looks plumb and Boland has broken through, but Crawley has reviewed, looks like one more in hope than anything else. Was a full ball that nipped back and caught him on the shuffle. Struck in front of middle and it's crashing into leg - three reds and will stay OUT. Hope for Australia? Crawley falls after a useful hand, was shuffling across and didn't account for the nipbacker, had a chat with his partner and opted to review, only to waste it.
