During the first innings, there were some moments from the Australian players that blew the minds of the people who are watching the match either way. Following a deadly inswinger from senior pacer Mitchell Starc to dismiss English batter Jason Roy in the fifth over of the match, there came a super-human effort from Aussie player Ashton Agar on the field while saving a six from Dawid Malan.
It all happened at the last ball of the 45th over when Australian skipper Pat Cummins was bowling to the centurion Aussie batter Dawid Malan. Subsequently, the southpaw went on to smash the ball toward the boundary for a six but it was Ashton Agar who stunned everyone present there on the ground with his sensational effort for saving the six in the favor of his team.
