Australia vs England: The 3rd Ashes test match has commenced at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Australia won the toss & opted to bowl first. This decision proved fruitful for the Australians as the English batters were again found clueless in front of Australian bowling attack. 

England opener Haseeb Hameed is an upcoming player who's trying to make a mark in International Tests. Australian captain Pat Cummins is famous for cunningly setting up batters to dismiss them. A similar case happened with Haseeb Hameed on the first day of the 3rd Ashes test. 

Pat Cummins constantly bowled in-swinging deliveries to Haseeb Hameed and when he finally bowled a delivery swinging away from the batter, which Hameed contacted with his bat's edge. Haseeb Hameed faced 10 balls before walking back to the pavilion for a duck.
