Starc Torments England with Bat and Ball in 2nd Ashes Test as Australia Eyes Another Big Win
Mitchell Starc took six wickets and scored 77 not out to help Australia reach 511, leaving England at 134-6 and on the brink of a 2-0 Ashes series lead.
- On Saturday, Mitchell Starc scored an innings-high 77 as Australia responded with 511 then took two wickets in the night session to build a 177-run lead.
- Using almost two sessions of natural light, Australia batted long enough to add 128 runs for the last three wickets, exhausting England’s chances at the Gabba.
- Concrete details show the extent of Australia's control: Starc took six wickets in England's first innings of 334, and all 11 Australia batters reached double figures, with a 75-run ninth-wicket partnership at the Gabba.
- Starc and the attack will aim for four quick wickets Sunday to give Australia a 2-0 lead in the five-match series as England skipper Ben Stokes resumes on 4.
- Looking at the bigger picture, Starc's form was evident as he was voted player of the match for his 10-wicket haul last month, while England's urn hopes faded at 134 for six, still 43 runs behind.
