Ashes 2017: 2nd Test: 5 things we learnt from Day 5

#2 Starc sizzles with new ball

Australia's Mitchell Starc ended all hopes of a resuscitation from the visitors

Mitchell Starc is a beast of a bowler. "When the going gets, the tough gets going" applies perfectly to Starc, who has had a terrific career thus far. On Day 5 though, Starc needed to do little after Josh Hazlewood had made big holes in the England batting line-up early on.

However, as the eighty over threshold was crossed, Starc had a brand new pink ball in hand and a few tail-enders to aim at. Craig Overton was the first to go, undone by a late in-swinger from Starc that struck him right in front of the stumps.

Stuart Broad followed soon after, edging a full ball on off-stump to the keeper to leave Bairstow with the no.11, James Anderson.
