Starc to Masood, out Caught by Carey!! Australia review for a caught behind! Cummins was confident and so were the others behind the stumps.

Time for the replays. UltraEdge detects a spike when the ball was next to the bat. The onfield decision is overturned. Starc gets his first wicket of home summer. Masood c Carey b Starc 30(43) [4s-5]
