Mitch Starc is Australia’s spearhead bowler of this Ashes, and he lived up to his billing late on day four.

England first drop James Vince was looking comfortable on 55 — 48 of his runs had come through boundaries — before Mitch Starc sent down a ball that hit the crack and seamed back to knock back Vince’s off peg.

The ball would have beaten any batsman that had ever played, with the crack making the ball deviate from its line that would have taken it well past leg stump to cannon into off.

Watch the ball here:

 

Fans reacted with shock and awe:

 

Unstoppable stuff.

The Aussies are pushing hard for a win in the last session of day four, with England sitting at 4/122 and needing another 137 to make Australia bat again.
