- Third Test, day 2: England 185 all out, 31-4; Australia 267 all out
- Anderson takes four wickets before Starc dismisses Crawley and Hameed
Fine work by the England bowlers was quickly undone by the batters as hopes of salvaging the third Test slipped away at the MCG as Australia close on the series win.
Australia were bowled out for 267 as Jimmy Anderson took four wickets, leaving the hosts with an 82-run lead after both sides had batted. It was not an insurmountable difference but when Zak Crawley and Dawid Malan were dismissed in successive balls to reduce England to seven for two the gap in quality was highlighted once more. They would make it to 31 for four at the end of the day as Haseeb Hameed and nightwatch Jack Leach were removed in the penultimate over.
