WStokes c Labuschagne b Cummins
Cummins to Stokes, out Caught by Labuschagne!! First Ashes wicket as captain for Patty Cummins. Angled in on a short of length at the stumps, a hint of extra bounce, Stokes is opened up a little in defence on the back foot and the thick outside-edge carries nicely to the left of third slip where Marnus Labuschagne makes no mistake. Dream start for Australia just got better. Stokes shakes his head as he walks off. Didn't manage to keep it down and that's another good slip catch. Stokes c Labuschagne b Cummins 5(21) [4s-1]
