Australia Men's Cricket Team Vs England National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: The pace ace Mitchell Starc's extraordinary performance at the Perth Stadium in Perth shows no signs of abating as he conjured up a spectacular return catch to dispatch England opener Zak Crawley for a duck, mirroring his first-innings performance.

The Australian left-armer's age-defying athleticism and skill were palpable in Perth as he pulled off a scarcely believable catch, grabbing a wicket in the first over of an innings for the second time in the match.

On the fifth ball of the first over of the innings, Starc pitched it full, pushing Crawley back, to throw his hands at the drive. Eventually, the drive resulted in a spectacular catch.

Starc, who took a career-best 7-58 on Day 1, was fully into his follow-through after deploying a ball at the speed of around 140 kph (87 mph) and had the athletic capacity to lunge to his left and take the catch at full stretch just above ground level to remove Crawley.
