Starc removed key batters Joe Root and Ben Stokes in quick succession in the post-lunch session. Meanwhile, Scott Boland triggered the collapse by dismissing Ben Duckett, who scored 28 off 40 balls. Starc and Boland picked up three wickets each in the session as the visiting team collapsed to 88/6 in 24.4 overs.
Steve Smith, positioned at second slip, grabbed the catch cleanly. Stokes had to walk back to the dressing room after scoring just two runs. It was the 11th time in Test cricket that Starc dismissed him, and the second time in the ongoing match. Starc lifted the ball and celebrated a well-earned milestone.

Starc became only the 25th Australian to take 10 wickets in a home Ashes Test, and the first Australian pacer to do so on home soil since Craig McDermott at the WACA in 1991. No Australian had achieved the feat in any Ashes Test since Shane Warne’s haul at The Oval in 2005.
