England produced a dominant bowling display to dismiss Australia for just 152 on Day 1 of the fourth Ashes Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday. After winning the toss on a green pitch, captain Ben Stokes’ fast bowlers exploited overcast conditions to rip through the hosts’ batting.
Josh Tongue starred with figures of 5 for 45, while Gus Atkinson provided strong support. Australia struggled early, losing key wickets cheaply, and never recovered despite brief resistance from Michael Neser (35), Usman Khawaja (29) and Alex Carey (20).
