Watch! Cameron Green takes an amazing catch to get rid of Ben Stokes

Australia came into the Lord’s after their outstanding win in the 1st test at Edgbaston by 2 wickets. The win enabled Australia to take a 1-0 lead in the series for Ashes 2023. The Lords test has again seen domination by the visitors in each of the sessions played so far. Pat Cummins and his men have withstood the Baz-Ball of England to come out on top so far at the home of cricket.

The story so far –

Australia were bowled out for 416 in their 1st innings on day 2. Steve Smith was the star with the bat as he scored yet another test ton for Australia. The home team ended the 2nd day with 4 wickets down still 138 runs behind the Australian 1st innings score.

Stokes falls to a stunner from Green –

Cameron Green was the star for Australia with the ball on the 2nd day. England came out to bat with Harry Brooks and Captain Ben Stokes. Mitchell Starc was tasked with bowling the 1st over of the day.

Starc, did not waste time as he squared up Ben Stokes and got an edge of his bat. Green who was standing at 2nd slip took a sharp catch. The ball was flying at good speed only for the Australian all rounder to pouch the catch and send Stokes back for 17 off 58 balls.

Mitchell Starc's tactics do the job 🎯
