The Ashes kicked off on Friday and it did not disappoint. On a pacers' day out in Perth, 19 wickets fell in action day. Mitchell Starc picked up a career best 7-fer to skittle out England for just 172. The visitors unleashed their own pace quartet to keep the hosts in check throughout. It was eventually captain Ben Stokes who picked up a 5-fer to leave Australia reeling at 123/9.

It was the most wickets falling on a single day in an Ashes Test in more than a 100 years. Perth has served up to be a frightening Day 1 experience, with India Test match also seeing 17 wickets fall last year. India's Eden Gardens loss to South Africa saw 17 wickets fall on day 1.
