Australia vs England, 5th Test, The Ashes, 2025-26 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Mitchell Starc to Stokes, out Caught by Carey!! Extra bounce from a good length! The line forces Stokes to play at it who looks to defend from the crease and it's close to the outside edge. The Australians behind the stumps are excited, nothing much from Starc. Not given onfield but Smith sends it upstairs. And guess what, there's a spike on Snicko! TV umpire Kumar Dharmasena is asking for the zoomer. Seems like there was a slight deviation. "There is no gap between the bat and the ball, I can see a clear spike," says Dharmasena as he has another look at Snicko. Successful review and Stokes departs for a 11-ball duck. No freebies from Starc and he's dismissed the England captain for the fifth time this series. Stokes c Carey b Mitchell Starc 0(11)
