The Ashes 2025–26 opener moves into Day 2 in Perth, where the first Test at Optus Stadium has already swung wildly. England won the toss and batted, only to crash for 172 as Mitchell Starc ripped through them with seven wickets, though Harry Brook’s gritty 52 stood out. Australia then found themselves in similar trouble on a spicy pitch, stumbling to 123/9 by stumps, still 49 runs behind. Ben Stokes led England’s charge with a superb five-for that triggered Australia’s collapse. With Nathan Lyon and Brendan Doggett hanging on, the contest rolls into a tense second day.
