England opener Zak Crawley once again fell to Mitchell Starc in the first over, joining the unwanted company of English openers to bag a pair of ducks in an Ashes Test. With this dismissal, Crawley has joined Trevor Bailey, Dennis Amiss, and Michael Atherton as the fourth English opener to bag a pair of ducks in an Ashes Test. Not only this, but this is also the first instance of a wicket falling before a run was scored in each of the first three innings of a Test. Crawley and Australia's Jake Weatherald were dismissed on a duck in the previous innings without a run added on the board.

In 7 Tests this year, Crawley has scored 414 runs in 12 innings with an average of 34.50, which includes one century and three half-centuries. His best score is 124.
