Hazlewood steps up in place of injured Starc

PERTH, Dec 18 : With pace spearhead Mitchell Starc labouring with injury, Josh Hazlewood stepped up to lead Australia’s attack with aplomb as the hosts thrashed England at the WACA on Monday to reclaim the Ashes with two tests to spare.

Hazlewood bowled superbly to finish with 5-48 in England’s second innings as the visitors crashed to an innings and 41-run defeat before tea on day five of the third Ashes test at the WACA.
