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

Stokes to Jake Weatherald, out Lbw!! Once again Jake Weatherald has gone LBW. Fourth time this series. He never looked settled today. Was fidgety and looked like getting out any moment. This is full and sliding in, he flicks and plays all around it, misses and is rapped on the pads. The finger from umpire Chris Gaffaney went up quickly. The review is taken and it's ump's call on hitting. The head fell over and he missed what was a simple flick. It's Stokes who provides England the first breakthrough.
