Australia Seize Control at Gabba With 511 as All 11 Reach Double Figures

England’s reply unraveled to 6-134 after Australia’s depth-driven total put the hosts firmly ahead.

Overview

  • Every Australian batter reached double figures, a first for the team in an Ashes innings and only the third instance in their Test history, reported as a first in a day-night Test.
  • The 511 came without an individual century, ranked by News18 as the fifth-highest Test total of its kind and among the highest without a 100-run partnership.
  • Mitchell Starc top-scored with 77 at No. 9 before removing Joe Root in the second innings to claim his 17th wicket of the series.
  • England collapsed from 1-90 to 6-134 by stumps on day three, with Scott Boland and Michael Neser taking key wickets on a deteriorating pitch.
  • England’s bowlers endured heavy workloads as Brydon Carse took 4-152 and Ben Stokes 3-113 during Australia’s long first innings.
