WATCH: Mitchell Starc Gets Rory Burns Early Again; English Opener Still Clueless

In the ongoing Ashes 2nd test match between Australia & England, Australia declared at 473/9 after tea on day 2; powered by some quick runs by the lower order. The English came out to bat in the 3rd session of the day, and Rory Burns was yet again dismissed early by Mitchell Starc!

On the first delivery of the 3rd over, Mitchell Starc bowled a short of a length delivery which was nipping away around the off stump. Rory Burns, with his unusual stance, went across the line while his head position stayed behind. He poked at the ball with the motive of defence, but the ball caught the bat's thick edge.

The ball carried to the Australian skipper Steven Smith in the slips, and the 31-year-old left-handed batter walked back to the Pavillion after scoring a boundary and facing a dot ball. In the first Ashes test, Mitchell Starc bowled Rory Burns on the very first delivery of the match and gave Burns a nightmarish start.
