Mitchell Starc mowed over England early on Day 1 of the first Ashes 2025/26 Test, picking 7 wickets which saw the visitors go down for 172 runs.

The lead appeared slim with the hosts, Australia, having an upper hand, but things quickly turned upside down. 

The English bowlers struck back hard, bringing the Aussies down to 9 wickets by stumps at the score of 123. Their captain, Ben Stokes, led the charge with a 5-wicket haul.
