00:35nice carry through the carry

00:42wonderful stroke a real nerf settler for zach crawley

00:52a classic cover drive opens his account in this ashes campaign

00:57much better for the result it's taking it for a start first over again you can't keep him out of the game

01:07perfect conditions and the big left armor delivers once again for his country

01:14so it's the golden duck for ben duckett

01:20the worst start possible for england

01:25one for five

01:28chops it on it's two and two for stark

01:32damaging blows right at the start of this second test match

01:37as he counter-ups the english they're caught in the headlights

01:44and the face to slip cordon and goes for four

01:57sniff lunge to cross in front of labishane

02:01that's lovely that's beautifully picked up

02:07this is everything that england have invested in zach crawley

02:11he's a natural talent

02:12he's a stroke player

02:13this is the wick and uh just caresses it through the covers

02:19so the second four

02:20could be over

02:21lovely stroke

02:26made it late

02:29it was always a bit leg side

02:31and he takes uh the strike as well

02:36so it's like crawley easy into his work nicely

02:40there it comes and it flies over the keeper

02:46there's another boundary

02:54and he is into the 30s

02:56watch out australia

02:57guides it away

03:02there's a shot that he's been working a lot on

03:06in the nets

03:07nice straight back

03:18lovely balance lovely timing

03:20shorter boundaries straight down the ground

03:23and four for joe root

03:26and that's the 50 partnership as well

03:28for these two

03:29root advances

03:32it does nice

03:33it's what they're trying to do to bowl

03:35and we're sorting perth to get him off his length

03:36a couple of strides from root

03:38beautifully timed down the ground

03:40short boundaries

03:40it's a glorious stroke

03:42oh it drops

03:45tough to call it dropped

03:48but it was the slightest of chances

03:51it's how crawley was dismissed in the last test

03:53he's already played

03:54a lofted drive off mitchell stark

03:56it's nicely placed

04:00over pitch there from cam green

04:03and it races the way to the boundary

04:05and it'll be four indeed

04:07there it is good 50

04:12from zach crawley

04:13set the tone here today

04:15day one of the second test

04:17fourth time he's done that against australia

04:20and that'll be a bit of relief there

04:22for ben stokes and the england team

04:24but plenty of work to go

04:25that's fine

04:29and four

04:30for zach crawley

04:31picked it off beautifully

04:33down the ground

04:37good shot

04:37seen it a few times today

04:39from zach crawley

04:40and another boundary

04:43next four for him

04:45this afternoon

04:46short again

04:50and just rides it nicely

04:52powerfully enough to get to the boundary

04:53into the gap nicely

04:59so two in the open for crawley

05:02and it's a hundred run partnership

05:04perfect for england

05:07good touch

05:11he's watching the ball

05:14close from zach crawley

05:15and see that

05:16a number of on drives today

05:17it's always a good sign

05:19oh nilly

05:22that's it

05:23it was high up

05:25it was more leg side

05:26no real control

05:27from joe root

05:28and just for a moment

05:29alex carey

05:30thought he was in the game

05:32oh he's they like in australia

05:37it's michael nizer

05:38he gets that vital breakthrough for australia

05:42they've worked hard

05:43he gets rewarded in front of his home crowd

05:46and all the hard work of zach crawley

05:49comes to a sudden halt

05:51and england lose their third wicket

05:55zach crawley for 76

05:56and three for 122

05:57uppish

06:01but it's uh

06:01into the gap

06:02timed nicely

06:03and that looks like

06:05it will race all the way

06:06to the boundary

06:07so

06:07harry brooke

06:09he's just such a natural scorer

06:11oh yeah

06:14he backs himself

06:15and punishes

06:18doggett

06:18with harry brooke

06:19don't look away

06:21and what a young superstar

06:22at the three

06:23three for 133

06:36beautifully

06:37great timing pass

06:38mitchell stark

06:39joe root

06:42looking very very ominous here

06:44at least the 48

06:45great

06:48right there

06:50and it gets through

06:51and that brings up the 50

06:53for joe root

06:54and

06:56don't they like it

06:57the barmy army

06:58it's the 10th time

07:07down the ground

07:09it's in a lot of that

07:09today

07:10and that

07:12will pick up a bit of pace

07:13and get into the road

07:14for a boundary

07:15there's a slap

07:20he's got hold of that one

07:22he connects well

07:23it's gone for four

07:24edged and out

07:29just two balls it took for stark

07:32back on

07:33and back in the wickets

07:35he's a superstar

07:41the wickets

07:42fourth time

07:45he's got him in test cricket

07:46a loose shot there

07:48from harry brooke

07:49but

07:49mitchell stark's got three

07:51farts

07:51that's a big wicket

07:52harry brooke is very very dangerous

07:53four for 176

07:55finds the outer part of the bat

07:59but he gets away with it

08:01he didn't go

08:01with a

08:03full-blooded drive
