Zampa to Axar, out Caught by Mitchell Starc!! In the air and taken! 82.3kph, tossed up outside off, Axar gets under it to loft it but he needed a bit more elevation on it. Starc, at long-off, stays side-on even as he moves back to catch it. The momentum takes him outside boundary rope, so he smartly tosses the ball up before coming back and completing the catch. Wicket number three for Zampa. Into the bowlers now. Axar c Mitchell Starc b Zampa 44(41) [4s-5]
