England endured their tormentor's late batting stand, and when tourists surrendered to 97 for three, the bowler attacked.
Mitchell Starc's disciplined spell with the ball and timely lower-order contributions with the bat helped Australia seize control as dusk settled over the match. Starc's pace and accuracy complemented a telling stand from his teammates, turning the momentum in favor of the home side.
Key moments include Starc delivering crucial breakthroughs and a late flourish at the crease that frustrated England’s top order. The Australian bowlers exploited short, probing deliveries and disciplined line-and-length bowling to keep the pressure on. When England finally collapsed to 97 for three, it was the bowler's persistence and the lower-order resilience that anchored the hosts’ advantage.
“Mitchell Starc’s blend of bat and ball under lights epitomized Australia’s strength in this phase of the contest,” observed one analyst, highlighting the all-round impact of his performance.
Overall, the day underscored Starc’s dual threat: economical, wicket-taking bowling and valuable contributions with the bat in a tense evening session.
