Perth Test: Starc takes seven as England rolled for 172 in Ashes opener

Mitchell Starc starred with 7-58 as England were bowled out for 172 in Perth, with debutant Brendan Doggett supporting, leaving visitors struggling in the first Ashes Test.

A venomous Mitchell Starc took 7-58 as England were sent packing for just 172 on day one of the first Ashes Test against Australia on Friday, leaving them with a mountain to climb.
Batting after captain Ben Stokes won the toss on a fine day at a packed Perth Stadium, the visitors had few answers to the 35-year-old wreaking ball.
His haul came off 12.5 overs with debutant Brendan Doggett chipping in with 2-27.
Harry Brook (52) and Ollie Pope (46) offered the only resistance as England crumbled after lunch.
Starc bagged three wickets in an intimidating opening spell, including Joe Root for a duck, before returning to send Stokes packing in his first over after the break, then mopping up.
All five previous Tests at the venue have been won by the side batting first, but England did their best to challenge that.
They got off to a horror start, rocked in the opening over after Starc was handed the new ball in his 101st Test.
The veteran strike weapon delivered as he has so many times before, enticing a thick edge from Zak Crawley that Usman Khawaja did well to collect down low at slip, the opener gone for nought.
Starc has now taken a wicket in the first over of an innings 24 times.
At the other end Ben Duckett settled his nerves with a textbook drive off Scott Boland to bank the first four of the series and followed it up with another in the same over.
But just as the left-hander was getting going, Starc pounced again, trapping him lbw for 21 to leave England tottering on 33-2.
That brought Root to the crease in his latest campaign for an elusive first century in Australia.
But he only lasted seven balls, edging a seaming delivery into the safe hands of Marnus Labuschagne at third slip.
Pope survived the furnace and was composed before Cameron Green was brought into the attack and he was out lbw, leaving them on 105-4 at lunch.
Brook hit Boland for a six in the first over after the break before Starc again worked his magic, taking out Stokes's stumps with an inswinger when the captain was on six.
A fearless Brook was unperturbed and raced to his 14th Test half-century, off 58 balls, before feathering a short ball to Alex Carey, earning Doggett his maiden Test wicket on debut.
Starc then removed Gus Atkinson (one) with Steve Smith collecting at slip to give him the 17th five-wicket haul of his career.
Doggett and Starc ruthlessly wrapped up the tail with little resistance.
England, who have not won a series in Australia for 15 years, opted for an all-pace attack with spinner Shoaib Bashir missing out.

Mitchell Starc took three early wickets, reaching his 100th Ashes wicket, while Cameron Green added another as England slumped to 105 for four at lunch on Day 1 of the Ashes series in Perth. Australia dominated after losing the toss.

Ashes 2025: Starc takes three as England falters in Perth

Mitchell Starc took three early wickets, reaching his 100th Ashes wicket, while Cameron Green added another as England slumped to 105 for four at lunch on Day 1 of the Ashes series in Perth. Australia dominated after losing the toss.

Mitchell Starc took three early wickets and Cameron Green snared another as Australia had England in trouble at 105 for four at lunch Friday after the opening session of the Ashes series.
Starc took three wickets for 10 in his first five overs and brought up his 100th career Ashes wicket. It started in the first over, when the veteran left-arm paceman had Zac Crawley caught at slip by Usman Khawaja on the sixth delivery before England had scored a run.
Starc bowled 12 balls without conceding a run before Ollie Pope took three off him to start the fifth over. Ben Duckett (21) was punishing an off-rhythm Scott Boland's half-volleys, punching four boundaries down the ground before Starc trapped him lbw in the seventh over with a full-length ball that hit him in the pads in front of leg stump. Duckett reviewed the decision but tracking technology confirmed the umpire's decision and England was 33-2.
Joe Root, the No. 1-ranked test batter but still searching for his first Ashes century in Australia, faced seven balls before he nicked Starc to Marnus Labuschagne at third slip for a duck and England slumped to 39-3.
The key dismissal gave 35-year-old Starc his 100th Ashes wicket, at an average of 26.65, and gave Australia the ascendancy after losing the toss and being forced to bowl.
A 55-run stand between Pope and Harry Brook gave England some momentum before allrounder Green struck at the end of his first over of bowling in a test match since 2023. Green trapped Pope lbw and again England reviewed the decision, which was upheld by the TV umpire using tracking technology.
The visitors were reeling at 94-4, bringing Ben Stokes to the crease before lunch on Day 1 of the series. Stokes was unbeaten on 4 and Brook was unbeaten on 28 at the first interval.
England's attacking intent is regulation &ldquo;Bazball&rdquo; under Brendon McCullum's coaching. The team batting first has won all five tests played at Perth Stadium &mdash; which replaced the WACA as the Western Australian capital's test venue &mdash; and that was a heavy factor in Stokes deciding to bat after winning the toss, going against his preferred option of bowling first and chasing.
The English, trying to win a test in Australia for the first time since 2010-11, opted for an all-pace attack led by Jofra Archer and 35-year-old Mark Wood.
Australia has won 13 and drawn two of its last 15 Ashes tests in Australia. Regular skipper Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are missing the first test because of injuries, opening the way for Brendan Doggett to make his test debut and become the third Indigenous Australian man to play test cricket.
Doggett bowled alongside Scott Boland, making it the first time two Indigenous Australians have played in the same test lineup. He troubled Pope in his first over and had figures of 0-17 in his first spell in test cricket.
Boland struggled for line and length and was unusually expensive, returning 0-39 from seven overs.

England's 'Bazball' approach will face the ultimate Aussie test as both teams take each other on in The Ashes 2023.

<h2>England's 'Bazball' approach will face the ultimate test against the Aussies in Ashes 2023</h2>

The Ashes, the most famous cricket rivalry is here once again. The five-match series between England and Australia will begin at Edgbaston on June 16.
An impassioned rivalry that started in 1882 between the two countries, features mostly good-natured taunts between supporters now, and yet, it has kept the passion of the series relevant even at a time when Test cricket is losing prominence to T20 franchise tournaments.
Under captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, whose nickname is &ldquo;Baz,&rdquo; England has gone all-out on attack and won 12 of its last 17 Tests. Always chasing a win &mdash; even at the risk of losing &mdash; England have not been defeated in a series over the past year.&nbsp;
And revenge would be on the cards for England who were battered 4-0 in the 2021/22 Ashes Down Under.
Coming to their opponents, freshly crowned World Test champions Australia will be looking to continue their form and show why they deserve the Test mace in the first place.
Having won the 2021/22 Ashes in dominant fashion at home, skipper Pat Cummins and co. will leave no stone unturned to try and replicate such a result against their rivals away from home.

England survived the last hour of play on Day 4 without any hiccup to chase down a mammoth 388-run target on Day 5 of the 4th Ashes Test at Sydney Cricket Ground.
At Stumps on Day 4, England were 30-0, needing 358 runs more runs to win.
Earlier, England were knocked over for 294 runs in the morning, adding only 36 runs in their overnight score, giving Australia 122 runs lead. However, the English bowlers came out all guns blazing in the second innings, and at one point in time, Australia were reduced to 86-4.
But the first innings centurion Usman Khawaja and all-rounder Cameron Green ensured that the Australian innings did not slip further as the duo put up a 176-run stand for the fifth wicket. Khawaja remained unbeaten on 101 while Green departed for 74. The Australian captain Pat Cummins did not wait much longer after Green and Carey fell on successive deliveries and declared at 265-6.
While chasing 388, England openers Zak Crawley and Haseeb Hameed came out in the middle with great determination and remained unbeaten at the close of play on Day 4.
Now, the visitors need to see off 98 Overs on Day 5 if weather permits or score the remaining 358 runs to escape their fourth successive defeat in the ongoing Ashes series.

Usman Khawaja made a stunning comeback to Australia's side with two back-to-back centuries against England in the 4th Ashes Test at Sydney Cricket Ground.
Khawaja lost his place on the Australian side in 2019 and was subsequently removed from Cricket Australia's central contract in 2020. Many cricket pundits have written off the southpaw but Khawaja made it into the Australian side for the Ashes Series on the back of good domestic performances.
However, he still has to wait for three Tests for finding a place in Australia Playing XI given that another southpaw Travis Head has been in a red-hot form.
Finally, Khawaja got a place in Australian XI after Head was tested Covid-19 positive and had to miss the Sydney Test against England.
Khawaja stormed into the international scene with a brilliant 137-run to lift Australia out of the perils in the first innings. The Southpaw continued his form in the second innings as well and became the sixth Australian to score back-to-back centuries in the Ashes Test.
Overall, Khawaja has scored 2887 runs in 44 Test matches at an average of 40.66, including eight centuries and 14 fifties.

With a 3-0 lead, Australia has already retained the Ashes Urn but now their focus is to inflict a 5-0 series whitewash against England. The 'Pink Test' in Sydney starts on Wednesday as England are without their head coach Chris Silverwood who tested positive for Covid-19. When it comes to the on-field action, this series has been missing the rivalry that Ashes has been known for but Australian Captain Pat Cummins knows the reason.  
Cummins before the 4th Test in Sydney highlighted the covid situation around the two teams and said, "I think it's been really tough for them. So we're just really thankful that they're out here you know, as part of the series. In terms of the cricket side of things, I couldn't be happier with how it's going for us. We've been on the other side of it, you know, before so it's not going to be like that forever so we'll enjoy it while we can."
Australian meanwhile has retained 3rd Test's hero Scott Boland and called up Usman Khawaja to feature in the Playing XI replacing Covid-19 positive Travis Head. This will be a big return for Khawaja in the Test set-up after a gap of more than 2 years.

It's a pretty interesting question to be honest with you because I've never gone into a Test series thinking I'm gonna lose a test match or, or lose the series so every test match I go out to play we're going out to win - it doesn't matter who we're playing or what we're doing.
