'Corker': Stunning Starc ball rips out Stokes' off stump

Australia bowled out a hasty England side and piled on 61 runs on the opening day of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.

Despite dropping five catches, the Australians bowled out the English for 283 runs.

David Warner then lost his wicket for 24, before Usman Khawaja (26) and Marnus Labuschagne saw the tourists through to stumps on 1-61.

Scintillating Starc delivery uproots Stokes' left peg

Australian spearhead Mitchell Starc snared 4-82 and removed England captain Ben Stokes with a phenomenal delivery, sending him packing for three.

Tearing in bowling over the wicket to the left-hander, Starc moved the ball through the air, got it to nip off the seam and uprooted his off stump.

"Bowled him, what a beauty, Stokes looking to play leg side has been squared up and his off pole is out of the ground," Ian Ward said in commentary.

"That is a corker."
