Watch: Mitchell Starc's unplayable inswinger sends Moeen Ali packing in third Test of Ashes 2023

The ongoing third Test of the Ashes 2023 is heading towards a historic end as both Australia and England are fighting toe-to-toe to win the game. It's a do-or-die match for England as they are 2-0 down in the five-match Test series.

Starting from 27/0 on Day 4, England faced early hurdles due to the fiery spell of Australia pacer Mitchell Starc. Starc, in his amazing performance, clinched two wickets by dismissing Mooen Ali and Ben Duckett. His inswinging delivery to dismiss Moeen caught the eyes of fans, who termed it unplayable. His delivery left commentators in awe as a commentator said, "Moving to number three hasn't worked for England."

Notably, in the ongoing Test, England scored 81 runs after losing two wickets on Day 4. In the first hour of the game, England tried to bat with the 'Bazball' approach, as they scored 54 runs in 13 overs. However, they lost openers Duckett and Mooen against Mitchell Starc. Meanwhile, another opener, Zak Crawley, along with Joe Root, is batting hard for England in the crucial game.

Will Australia win their first Ashes in England since 2001?

Since 2001, Australia has failed to win the Ashes on English soil. However, this time things are looking quite comfortable for the visitors. Pat Cummins and his team have won the first two games and are in a comfortable position to win the series. This series victory will boost their confidence ahead of the upcoming marquee World Cup tournament. However, the Bazzball approach of the English team can change the momentum in any situation.

It's worth noting that Australia has been phenomenal in the last few months in Test cricket. They started their England tour by beating India in the finals of the World Test Championship 2021-23. After that, the team won the Birmingham and Lord's Tests by comfortable margins. However, in the ongoing Test, their batting let them down in the first two days, but things might change in the upcoming games.
